I'm going to design a 555 timer circuit in order to make an LED blinking at the frequency of about 100Hz and 10% duty cycle. But the problem is that the 555 IC provide a low output current (a few hundreds mA) while my LED is a high power LED (>1A). I think one solution is using an SSR (Solid State Relay) but they seems expensive for my project (around 40 bucks I think). Any other idea? (I'm a newbie to electronic stuff!)
