Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've used Flashing LEDs in the past to simulate the presence of a car alarm and instead of building another assembly for my latest car purchase, I decided to buy this one instead thinking it already had the control and mounting bezel in place.
Ultimately, this is a very bright flashing LED so I am pleased with that but the mounting bezel had a really odd shape and looked non-professional so I used a low profile back LED bezel you can find at electronics stores which worked just fine.
What was really frustrating is that in the past, I've used three terminal flashing LEDs which allow you to connect one of the terminals to a voltage source that stops the LED from Flashing so you do not have the thing blinking at you while you are driving. Seeing that this device had three wires, I assumed it would operate in the same capacity but it does not. It assumes your ACC voltage source becomes chassis grounded in the OFF position to activate the LED (most cars I'm aware off do NOT offer ACC grounding in the off position) I had to rig a secondary "normally-closed" relay to control this LED which is working well but it made what should have been a simple installation more complicated.
In the end, this is a simple blinking LED with a little more fancy packaging around it. If you do have a ACC voltage source that becomes grounded in the OFF position, it will work for you.
