I've only ever dealt with heavy duty flashers designed with the extra
load of trailering in mind - with less load they flash faster and with
more they behave normally. I've definitely seen it when I toyed with
replacing my signal lights with LEDs and when I've had a burned out
bulb - so I guess (shockingly!) that my experience isn't exhaustive =)
