I recently bought a cvpi and someone cut out the supplies and left the heads. I do have one set complete. I was wondering if I could parallel a pair to one supply or if I could rig something else up to power them.
Whelen vertex question regarding the inline supply

1 supply will not run more than 1 head. It is a current limiting supply so any higher current draw attempts would just result in dimming both heads
They are pretty much useless without the flasher or someone willing to build you an power supply. It could be done but it wouldn't be practical

If I very quickly tap 12v they flash. I can tell it's too much to I have t done it again. Wasn't sure if solid state flasher would switch fast enough
Hate throwing out working parts

You can still use the head itself. Hook it up to a led driver (steady burn), and then hook it up to a led flasher.

The only issue is that the costs of parts might end up costing more than just purchasing a new vertex.
You could buy parts on the cheap though on ebay, etc.

its possible, although it may still burn the vertex out.. this is a tough fix in a way, much simpler to source a new to you pair on the cheap from the site, and have a pair of spare heads if one ever fails, or even to swap the flashers on your heads w a cheap pair of any color..
