Good videos on the 555 timer!  Be careful with those capacitors as they can bite you if you do not let them discharge completely before removing them (speaking from experience)!  ;)  We had to wait up to 30 minutes before disconnecting the power supply from the real strobe lights on aircraft to perform maintenance; otherwise you could get quite a jolt!   :o

I will be careful with them.   I did a term as a computer repair person, and I had to work with power supplies.   They have some fairly large capacitors in them.   So I know about not grabbing them without taking the right precaution.
