I have found out something that I have not seen elsewhere so I thought I would pass the idea along. Using super/ultra capacitors you can make a high current flasher running off a single cell in a very simple way. Here is a description of how I used this idea to make a dual LED flasher that I am presently using on my bike to flash 1W LEDs:

Here is a bit bloggier post that describes the thinking behind the circuit:
