First of all, I am terribly sorry if I am doing something wrong with the forum threads, I am new to writing in any kind of forums.
Second of all, I have a red stone related question - how do I make a lamp flicker for a little while when I turn it on just like the very old Fluorescent lights you could find like 10+ years ago in big buildings.
I was thinking of some red stone repeaters with inverting torches, were on repeater turns on the lamps, a little while after wards another one turns them off, but I feel like it would become a big circuit very quickly. I had seen a video of this maybe 8+ years ago, but I hadn't encountered it since (and didn't really want to make it at the time). If anyone has an idea of a compact or at least basic circuit of this style, I'd be very thank full! If not, well, I guess some one has to do it, might as well be me.
I'd think that the only switching that could be fast enough to mimic flickering might be where you have a signal going through a block and a piston pushing the block away from the signal source.
Well - I came up with this that can cause flickering for a short while (wooden button causes a longer flicker) however I've not figured a way to cause it to flicker and then stay on.
Maybe some form of flip-flop or r-s latch might work

Just testing.
Hmm, yeah, I did find the Redstone lamp delay for turning off a bit annoying. XD
Thank you for the idea! I will use it! ^^
But I am stuck on the circuit for creating such pulses. All I can find are normal redstone clocks, nothing random or semi-random.

I'm sure this is the single weirdest way to make it flicker, but if it works it works.
Both dispensers contain water buckets
Thank you so much for the suggestions!!! I really appreciate it! I will try them when I get a chance, school be very hectic. XD
