^^Yes i am trying to get some knowledge about them.
I saw a few LED lights like LED STRIP, CIRCULAR LED LIGHT & BAR TYPE LIGHT. Can these be any useful to illuminate the console?

^^ Nope, did not make one personally, but should not be too difficult to make one. Circuits will be available on the net.

abhijeet what about digital flashers ? have you made any ? i saw one that auto sets blink rate and is made for leds as well as normal bulbs .that should save some battery power .

^^Unfortunately, there is no easy way on this one. You have to fix a LED behind each digit on the meter and connect them properly thru resistors (and diodes if needed.)

Console backlighting
Those LED's on the console look fantastic.
I too want to go for those white one's on my CBZ console.
Unfortunately i am a layman to the electronic world (management grad.)
Guys, Could you please tell a simple way that i could benefit from?
I think i have enough juice in the battery as my brakelights are allready LED's and I'm running on stock headlamp.
I asked my mechanic about this and he said that it was not possible and even if they replace the bulbs the glow would be insufficient.

Bajaj's uses 21w flasher so front indicator 10w + rear 10w + console 1w = 21w
BUT
Honda uses 43w flasher, each bulb is 21w i.e front 21w, rear 21w and console 1w.
And someone said that i used capacitor, NO i didn't use any capacitor. Forget LED, why didn't it blink when I had put 10w bulb ??
These flashers have a lower limit. When you cross that, the flasher will not blink but remain ON continously.
Making a custom one with a 555 timer IC is not too difficult!
You can search the net on this one!

He has already given a method to slow down the blinking rate..Originally posted by sajjt View PostNormal bike blinker relay is rated to 21W, try to find a lower rated blinker module to use with an LED circuit or its even better to design a special circuit for this. Hope Abhi can do this easily.

to connect these leds to indicators do we need to change the values of resistors? have u tried it??Originally posted by abhijeet080808 View PostYeah, you will need one in parallel to the LEDs. It will decrease the rate of blinking to acceptable level. Yeah, i have tried it. Were not too bright though. Could fix only abt 6 LEDs. You will need to fix atleast 20 LEDs for adequate brightness.

You must have used a capacitor in your circuit, so it was not blinking i guessOriginally posted by Shreeni0403 View PostWhether indicator will flash if we use LED's
This is bcz I tried putting a 10w bulb to save current (stock is 21w on Unicorn). Indicator didn't flash.
Tried LED, same thing happened. So how to put LED's so that it can consume 21w exactly !!!

I have not opened any tail lamp of latest pulsar/rtr, but i guess it works in that wayOriginally posted by fayad555 View Postdo u know the setup in RTR/Pulsar? Is it the same leds glowing with different brightness?
but what if i want to use these leds in a different design(not like strip) in a pcb, can i solder them in a pcb?
Thanks for the info'

21 w for 2 indicatorsOriginally posted by Shreeni0403 View PostWhether indicator will flash if we use LED's

. the LEDs should have flashed ,though much faster rate .

In Pulsars there are two different rows of LEDs for Braking and Normal Tail lights.Originally posted by fayad555 View Postdo u know the setup in RTR/Pulsar? Is it the same leds glowing with different brightness?

SMD are also available as single units or can be removed from these strips, which then can be soldered to a pcb.
What I found out that, the pre-fabricated Resistors, are very reliable.
