Canadians with LUX

dnjc · 11-29-2007, 12:26 PM

Just wondering if you have that blinking sequence when you start up your car. I was reading some through some threads and I noticed that a few people who purchased Lux and didn't have this blinking sequence, were from Canada. I'm wondering if it has something to do with Canadian model cars?

I have the blinking sequence, It's normal

+1 on normal to blink. mine blink.

it's just the car sending some currents of electricity to test if any bulbs are burnt out. the LEDs in the LUX are so sensitive they pick up these "test" currents and blink while starting up.

yes, +1 on the blinking also. people generally dont notice it because by the time they start the car and go outside, it stops blinking.....u can only really see it at night in the dark against something reflective

No blinking for me. Although, I have LED lights all around with resistors so maybe that has some impact?

Yes. The resistors will (for lack of better word) absorb or resist these test currents...thus the LEDs will not flicker.
