This can be done with almost any flashing light (leds of typical colors).
Cheap blinker/safety lamps used for bike riders also has the same
“optical augmentation” effect. Though this technology took years, headaches,
time and money for the engineers; it is easily (and cheaply) substituted with the aforementioned.
These gizmos take time and patience to use, but they really work !

Flashing RED leds at a specific wavelength with a red filter at a matching wavelength. So if you can find out what they are, then sure!

I’m betting that the technology behind this is fairly simple – and once you know how it works – it would be pretty simple to make one yourself.
