LEDX wiring/controller question

[mcpd2025]

I have a bunch of Code 3 LEDX modules in my lightbar. They have a circuit board on one side and the LED module on the other side, connected together with 2 wires. Do I need the circuit board, or is that just a flasher? Could I get rid of the circuit boards and attach the LED modules directly to a flasher, or is the circuit board neccessary to control voltage and other electrical stuff that I don't understand?


This is an Optix module for reference.

Could I simply take the LEDX or Optix LED modules off the lightbar mount and attach them directly to a LED flasher and not use the circuit board on the back?

With that many electronics, I would have to say it is not only a flasher but also voltage regulators/etc.

it has a built in flasher, if you hook them up to a power source they will flash.

Thats what I was afraid of... Does anyone know if there is an LED flasher that controls voltage as well?

Yes, but Code 3 didn't include a way to syncronize the LED heads, so it just gives a jumble of light. I bought a LED flasher to attempt to sync all the lights, but some of the LEDX modules do not have a feature to allow me to set them to steady burn, so it doesn't really syncronize.

I'd emailed Code 3 a couple months ago with a similar question. The LED boards do NOT run off 12 volts. I thought/remember 36?? maybe. So, you're SOL.

Par for the course... thanks.

it looks from the pic that the yellow adg gray wires go to the led head itself. if thats the case take a tester and check the output at the connector
