Then my understanding and experience with thermal flashers is all wrong. When I was going to college I had a job with an RV dealer and wired up a lot of tow vehicles for trailers. The added current of the trailers always made the flashing faster. To slow it down we changed the flasher to a heavy duty one. So, again, if the led's, which draw less current, cause faster flashing I don't understand what's going on. Can you explain it?
