Use led light for warning signal

[muckymits]

The electronic flasher relays dont have a bi metal strip (those went out many years ago), you had to have the correct load on the old ones, electronic ones dont matter as far as flash rate goes. The clicking you hear on the later type is a relay, but looking in to the murky depths of my memory I think you have to have the warning light connected to make it all work.

Do a search on ebay.co.uk for flashing led lights, there are plenty on there from simple one off 5mm superbright flashing leds to complete strips with remotes that chase, flash, change color etc, try virtual village as well,
eg

Hello there,

I'm looking to use warning signal for my bike, but with a very minimalist set up (less visible is better). So I'm thinking about using these led strip:

HobbyKing R/C Hobby Store : High Density Waterproof LED Flexible Strip - Yellow (1mtr)

Combined with a car signal controller:
Load Resistors LED Indicators Flash Rate Controllers | eBay

These led strip are very bright and I'm sure I'll be noticed on the road. But I'm don't know about the best way to make them blink?

Would the resistor work?

ps: sorry I have very limited knowledge in electronic.

Thanks for the explaination muckymits, I connected the led light and it wasn't working.

spiritburner, I already purchased my amber light. Have to get a led signal flasher now. I think I'm going to get the cheap one from HK
