a no load flasher unit is a 555 timer circuit with a rehistat to adjust the timing.... but in english its a replacement flasher unit that will work at any amperage (the oem ones are a bi metallic strip that flashes biased on the strip heating up and breaking contact cooling off and reconnecting.... ) its an electronic circuit not a mechanical thermal unit... i believe that they are now even cheaper then oem...
