Re:flashing warning lights for the wickam tram

Hi mbiff
I have been inspired by your Wickham Trolley and I am about to start making one. The brilliant flasher and head light system looks great and I want to include one in my version.
In the picture I can see the 'Blinker' wired in to the warning flashers.
What is the other small electronic item on the left by the headlight? What does it do?

Any list of components required to construct a similar system would be very helpful.

Mr B.

hi mr b

the electronic part is an automotive led voltage regulator - - i had some spare so i did,nt have to bother working out the resister value for the input voltage .

the headlamp white leds came from old solar powered garden lights and the yellow ones where given to me from a chap from work .

hope this helps - ask away if more info needed

mbiff,
Thanks for the reply. looking at the instructions/wiring diagram for the blinker it implies that it dosnt need a resistor. I can see that one might be needed for the headlamp.
Thanks again

Mr B.
