Blinker fuse is a 2c/3 period 18 fuse that burns cleanly through blinkers that are spaced four cells apart. It can be combined with blinker puffer 1 to create various interesting patterns, such as moving sawtooth, slow puffer 1, and slow puffer 2.

Variants

There are two other well-known blinker fuses that acts on blinkers that are orthogonally offset by four cells, both of which are shown below. They both burn cleanly at 2c/3 and have period 6.^[1]
