What about those pedal bikes with the flashing Red lights

Current legislation is as follows, as taken from here


Flashing lights became legal in 2005 and can be approved, meaning no other light is needed

For LED flashing lights to be both legal and approved, the following provisos apply:

· They must flash at 1-4 times/second

· The rear lamp must be red and the front white

· Approved flashing LEDs must emit at least 4 candela of brightness

They must only have a flashing mode, i.e. no steady mode

Are you aware of the law and warning lights

I don't see any laws relating to 'amber disco lights for the dogs'

Plan to use Cat 5 cable to the front of the car should be fine with the voltage and easy to hide.

That's a thought, could wire through from the fron in one easy go & then I couls also use soem of the cables to switch my LF170 relay on as well.

Relay takes 1.6w, which is way less than the 16w that I rate the cable at (7x0.20mm) should be 1.4amp max. At 12v, I make that 16.? watts.

The LEDS control unit uses between 4 and 6w so even if all the lights were on, would still be easily with range. Keeps the wires nice and tidy as well. Hadn't thought of that fob

Unless anyone can pipe up with a major flaw in that thought process?
