So is the one that bogdanfirst posted about 5 posts up the re-drawn one?

Why You need relays?It sucks more current as load.Connect the LED-s direct to collectors. (The circuit accu-powered)
first the scematic is the one above( half a meter or so.. :lol: ).
i thought or relays for using high power lamps, but if you only use leds its ok to connect them dicetly between the collector and +12v
please guys keep my heart :P
use ULN2003A IC. it has seven darlington pairs inside. each can give bout 0.5 AMP. whats more the outputs can be paralleled to furnish more current.

well you could use that too, but there is no need.
if the lights are needed for a vehicle, i dont think that current consumption is a big problem, so the realys can be used.
the IC wud look cool and also would be compact and help a great deal in
making the layout easier.

well it depends in tha case, maybe there wont be needed relays and the is, just the transistors.
The way I got the lights right now, I have to close the switch to turn them on. I dont care ir relays are used or not, they would take up space but that's not a huge conceren.
I could change my lights to not use relays, I just needed to know how to make an output do the flahing pattern I wanted. I dont know 555 timers good yet.
check this out. it says a lot of how to use 555.
and the circuit i atteched does this: red-pause-red-pause-white-pause-white-pause-back to beginning.
or you can have other color leds. but i remembered that you said you have white and red.

Thanks, which circuit is the one you're talking about. There's quite a few on there... :roll:
That is exactly how I want it to work though.
see back, i posted a circuit on the first page of thid topic.
