Does anyone know a chip I can buy that will make a LED, or light of some kind, flash about 50 miliseconds apart/ give or take. I'm making a wig / wag (flip / flop) circuit and I want to make them strobe like cop cars, alternating. Any help would be great.

Very popular old configuration with easily accessible chips and components. Try this:

I used this as a heart of a flasher circuit once, quite simple. But you'll need something to drive the lights.

50ms is 20 times a second - are you sure you need it that fast ?

I am also looking for the same thing. I want it to work just like a police car emg lights. I want this for my 1/10 scale rc car. I bought a circuit on line that works with my radio control but i am having some problems getting it to work how i want. I am also looking to add a light bar and siren. Any help with this would be grate. Sorry for adding onto your post sherial
