I'm after one of these modulators to make the LED lights I've fitted to my bike twinkle like little stars

I know I can buy one at bikevis but they want £22.74 for something that costs pennys
Any ideas where I can get one?? I've tried looking on the net but no luck yet.

Thanks :)

sounds like all you want is a timing unit relay. try Maplins if you have one near you or any local disco retailer

Thanks will have a look tomorrow, it needs to modulate LEDs extremely fast (92.5% on and 7.5% off time) , so that it doesn't create a 'Flash'

This is the difference it makes

Would love to see the effect they have when you have fitted them, anything that helps us be seen can only be a bonus? :)

Hmmmm...... How bright do they shine and how long before someone mis-reads it and thinks you are letting them pull out in front of you? :-/

BINGO! Just what i thought.
I've had that happen to me when I hit a bump, the nose of the bike jumped then dipped and the car waiting to turn pulled across and even thanked me.
Bad idea.

Have had this happen after going thru a little dip in road and only realised it may have been that after i'd swerved round them.
