Default All things LED...

So i've got 60 LED's on the way, 30 red, 30 amber. I've got some questions.

Does anyone remember seeing on police cars, when they've got their strobes on, most are outfitted with an amber light bar beneath it that lights up in sequence from one side to the other - telling you to move your *** over.

I want to do that on the 929. How can I set up say 10-15 LED's in a row that would perform this task - from left to rightand vice versa?

Anyone know... ? I'm not an electrical guru, I really just bought these things because I got them all with resistors for a total of $8.94 shipped, lol. I'm sure if someone told me what to do I could do it, lol.

Thanks in advance and if I can get some help, I'll certainly add a, "How-To" covering it. It should be pretty damn cool if it can be done... in the place I want to put it.

sounds like you may need to set up some delay or something... 60 LEDs for 8 bucks!? wow...

Sequential or chasing circuits are the buzzwords, maybe that'll help in your search. You can probably buy one from a car on EBAY but I don't know how they can be modified for 10 to 15 LEDs.

you should be able to build a ckt from schematics on the web...some are pretty flexable as what you can add or run...consider loosing the resistors as they draw lots of power compared to the actual LED...
