LED turn signals

[Ratledge]

I found these online, though I don't really know exactly how big they are or how bright.

The cheap price makes me wonder. More various taillights, mostly not LED's here, but options nonetheless:

I'm really considering these flexible LED arrays as turn signals, for a really stealth look, but I kinda worry about them not being noticable enough. I'm guessing I would just mount them around the front forks like on this website and possibly around the rear shocks for the rear turn signals. Anybody used them?

this is just me, but i tried using several LED applications for turn signals before. everything from the LED windshield washer ports used on cars (super-stealth) to regular short stalks with basic LED arrays. they all worked, but they never made me feel like the guy behind me in the '78 Buick would notice me. they're just not very bright, unless you have a boatload grouped together like in an undertail kit for a sportbike's brake lights. the ones on stalks that i used only had a single row, and were worthless; but the ones that kneedraggers have looked a little more beefed up, so maybe. also,depending on how good of a buddy you have inspecting your bike, he might feel the same way and not pass it. i don't have any experience with the flex lights, and they looked kind of bright in the pics, but i dunno. the only good answer i can think of is to try them, and have a friend ride in front/behind you in a cage and see what he can see.

Do these LED signals draw enough power to make the flashers work?

My 1982 SX650SJ has all LED lamps where possible and the draw on my system is at a minimum I am using a EL98 Electronic furnished by TMI and it workes fine. A note about this flasher, it came to me as a unit that is not waterproof and had a clear tape across the top to cover eight holes in the top of the flasher unit. I found out that the holes were for a beeper when the flasher is in use and you can control the loudness of the beeping by uncovering only a few holes.The flasher now comes as I described above or as a waterproof unit with no sound EL98N. $ 11.95 ea. Operational voltage 5.5 Volts to 14.5 volts DC. Both flashers will flash your light when your battery is below 8 volts. Will operate from 20mA to 20 amps.
