Quoted from latenite04:You can probably get away with a 16v cap since the lamps are run on a pulsed 18v and it doesn't burn out a 6v led but I would use 25v to be safe. I think the standard diodes on lamps are 1N4004. You might not need the diode, I haven't looked to see if lotr has diodes at the lamp socket or remote. I was originally thinking of using this same setup to smooth out the flasher above the sword ramp but I haven't had time to play around with it.

I see that you have a 220uf 16v on the bread board
Im having a hard time finding 320uf 25v that you suggested i see a 330uf 25v but im not sure of what that difference would be? 220-320-330?
I understand the voltage tolerance aspect but im not certain of what a difference in uf would mean in this application
i am now searching the internet i hope to gain some knowledge about it
But of course ill have to ask
