Default Led lights, good grief!!!!!!

Somethings so simple can sometimes be a PITA .I'm putting yellow flashing LED safety lights on my tractor ,so I can mow along the highway and hopefully not get hit by a 60mph hunk of steel. found the lights I want and now to the flasher. I found LED's require an electronic flasher and on the flasher it states a specific number of lights. If it says for 20 lights does that mean each LED or 20 separate lights? Each light I purchased has 10 LED's in them (I purchased two of them). So would I need a electronic flasher for two lights or twenty? Holy Cow, I feel like a total dummy, but its cheaper to ask a dumb question than make a dumb mistake.

Since LED's draw very little current is why you need an electronic flasher. They do not require current to operate. One flasher will run enough lights to light up that cub like a christmas tree.

This is one of the lights I bought,and here are the flashers,hopefully the pics will show where it says the number of lights it will operate.The best I can figure is its saying it will operate up to that many light fixtures.I don't think it matters how many LED's are in each fixture.Im going to mount them on the back side of the ROPS,and hopefully those idiots can see me when Im mowing along the highway.I may even put two on each down tube instead of one.I like my mower but I don't want to die on it.

The Internet Search reveals that flasher unit will handle up to 20 Lamp Fixtures or 45 Amps.

Looks like to me, you are good to go.

Good grief, that's a flasher relay for a semi. You really don't need one that heavy.

Yea truck driving is what I do to keep the bills paid.My Loves card had almost 200.00 saved on it so I thought I would use that instead of cash,so Im trying to use things from the truck stop.I dropped a little over 600.00 on it last weekend for an electric deck lift so the mower fund is about dried up.After I got home today and after 638 miles I still got the holes drilled and lights mounted.Still have to run wires and get the switch installed but I will get it done.I mowed along the highway last weekend so I'll be able to skip that this weekend giving me a another week to get it done.And I love over kill,its like having too much food at Thanksgiving,it never hurts!!!!!!!!!!!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
