LED replacement bulbs with built-in flash?

Everywhere is thumpers!
Does anyone know of a replacement LED bulb (or whole lamp for that matter) that has the flash circuit built in to the bulb/housing itself?

What I mean is, eliminate the flasher altogether and simply send +12v to the lamp and the lamp does its own flashing.

Does such a thing exist?

I've not heard of anything like that, but if you're interested in building one, I'll let you know how.
 
Some LED replacement bulbs and fixtures have a resistor that will cause the stock flasher to operate, but each LED having its own flasher I have not seen.
 
Yeah, I was afraid of that... I was hoping to pop out the old bulb, pop in a new one and bypass the blinker.

The size of the part isn't all that relevant, i guess; there are plenty of places to hide a flasher (though that one you linked to, beaner, is TEEENY!) I was mainly wanting to simplify the wiring as much as possible.

I'll keep looking and let you know if I've found anything.

Are you planning to change all the blinker bulbs? If you're only changing the rear or front bulbs and leaving incandescent bulbs on the other end you probably won't need anything.
 
I don't think wiring would be simplified all that much be using a flasher with each individual bulb... You'd end up making it 4x as complicated as it already is...
 
Yup - the flasher relay is a simple device, plentiful in supply, and doesn't complicate the wiring one bit. It goes on the main power lead heading to the signal switch.

Why would anyone want to replace 1 flasher relay with 4 flasher relays?

They'll all be LED (including the headlight). I'm aware of the digital flashers, I was just hoping for a "self-flashing" bulb that I could just send +12v to and have it flash on it's own. Then I could eliminate the flasher.

I don't, I want to replace 1 flasher with 0 flashers. I was just commenting that the flasher he linked to was really small.

If I am going to keep a flasher, i would just use 1 normal one, not add 3 more.

(Love your avatar, BTW)

the flasher can be mounted in line with the 12V feed, so no extra wires.

An LED flasher is under $10, and under $5 if you shop around.

If they make flashing LED's, 4 flashing LED's would prolly cost more than the flasher....

I am not sure where you want to go...

I want to go from the switch to the bulb, nothing in between.

I get that it's unorthodox, I get that the existing technology is well proven, I get that it's cheaper, etc. I'm just trying to find creative ways to meet my goals. Give me a break, alright? Jeez.

The stock wiring is switch to bulb.

The flasher is before the switch.

Really can't simplify a bikes flasher more than it is.

Don't the blinkers also act as running lights? If so your idea would not work. I am not entirely sure of that first statement though.

Who knows? Since we have no idea of what motorcycle this is going on, there is no way of knowing whether it has running lights as well.

I suppose by the avatar it is some random Suzuki....But who knows?

Since he is rewiring, that adds another layer of "Who Knows"

Mystery bike, mystery wiring, stock switches? Question was asked, question was answered...

No standard flashing bulbs for signals....
