Can anyone recommend flasher LED bulbs for the Stern Spike system?
I understand the Spike bulbs are 5v?
I want to install under a translucent apron and will tap off the existing flashers in the game.
Thanks!

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:Cointaker should have them, Not sure if Ryan at Comet got them in.
However, there is a better way to light an Apron, especially if its diffused.
The 8 SMD will sit too high and spot in many cases, depending on Apron and/or Diffuser.
Youd be much better off with 6.3V Strips and Pads.
I have done this with a Matrix Flasher Split Power tap, and attached an 8 SMD on one side, to light as Normal, and grab the power and signal to run to Strips.
So far, Ive gotten up to 4-10 SMD Strips off one line and not blown a fuse.
I think there is some slight variation, but you can also tap off the GI for always lit, and control the brightness, and add Flasher Strips
to go along with it.
I did GB this way.
(Its apart now, i dont have any pics, but should redo in the next few weeks)
Thanks for that, I see Cointaker have them. The aprons are clear (not diffused), so I'm happy to keep it simple with 4 GI bulbs and a couple of extra flashers added
