    Yes good that you have come back with the conclusion and you found a solution that seems very easy to implement...and works.


    Pity in some respects that you did not go down one of the advised routes (would have been a lot cheaper [it's MSE after all 😂] and would not have the flicker!) but problem solved!

    yep , but the flicker is only very minor at tickover , and even with dc and smoothing (nowhere to fit it) I suspect there would still be flicker at tickover , the LEDs would have cost the same , checking back the ac regulator was £30 , not £35

    there is a link wire , you cut if you want to use it on 12v , so it is definitely reusable at a later date if needed

    thank you for getting back to us.

    a bigger capacitor with bigger uf should give you less flicker and a diode to block the current going backwards to power the other things - like front light

    think this link may work? https://images.app.goo.gl/vifzcVaePkaJmFvTA
  • You can get 6v ac LED stop lamp bulbs.
