Default How do they work?

Simple digital oscillator in a chip driving a transistor on and off I'd
imagine. it need only be small as little dissipation all on or all off.

Got a set of Xmas lights. Gawd knows how they do them at the price.
Blue and White. PS/controller gives a variety of programmes. Including
flashing the blue and white alternately, or all on together. But only two
wires from the PS. I can see reversing the polarity could have one colour
or the other, but how both at once with no apparent flicker? Fast
switching?
