    Hey guys, I searched all over the place. I'm trying to figure out what type of strobe programmer or what the best way to use my bar as a strobe light would be. It's not for messing with people. My friends and I throw some parties in the desert every now and some strobes on my truck would be awesome.

    I was thinking of finding a programmer or some sort so I can change the strobe speed. Having the individual LEDs fire off would be cool, but I don't want to solder wire to every LED diode. So basically a fast paced on and off will work. Any ideas guys? Thanks

    Here is an idea of what we do at the parties.

    I dont think you could get each led to do its own thing.. There are all pretty much wired to be on or off together.

    But it sounds like you really want a LED controller. They have different flash patterns, and some even can dim and flash to music. Try checking out controllers from places like www.oznium.com or http://www.superbrightleds.com/

    oznium has an inline controller that is perfect, but it only handles 12amps. Im pushing 20amps.
