Hi all,

 

 

 

I have been trying to find out and tracking down what I am assuming is a 12v relay, basically I need one that when activated it provides alternating 12v dc power to two owlets.

 

The easiest way to visualise what I am after is what I assume police use in their cars in conjunction with their red and blue lights, no doubt we have all seen the alternating flashing of their high beam headlights while speeding past us at some stage?

 

 

 

I am assuming what police use is probably built into some larger piece of hardware they use to control all their bells and whistles, but the example is still valid, I have tried looking online a fair bit, but as yu could imagine without knowing what these are called they are a bit hard to track down.

You'd be looking for a "wig wag" flasher. something like: https://www.amazon.com/Solid-State-Flasher-Alternating-Pattern/dp/B00YB9HTQ4

Kyanar:

 

You should certainly check if your planned modification is even legal - in many places such strobing on a non-emergency vehicle would be grounds for an unroadworthy declaration.

 

 

Yep it's called a wig wag flasher. Definitely not legal on NZ roads unless you have an officially recognised emergency service or pilot vehicle as per https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/light-psvs/lighting/headlamps
