Hi, have 4 led indicators but they flash too fast. How much resistance do I need to slow them down to a standard flash rate?
thanks, Grant

Simplest way is to buy a indicator relay for LED indicators.

Simpler still, get rid of them and buy some with bulbs in Thumbs Up
LED indicators should be uninvented, poxy blooming things.
