Strobes

i got a pair of 20 buck strobes in my headlight, they arnt super stronge, but good enough.

my question is, do these things suck batteries, i mean if i leave them on when the car is off, like an alarm light warning, will it suck my batteries, or are they safe like LEDs ?

they will drain your battery, but im sure short periods of them being on wont do a damn thing

yeah batman scanners use LEDs, leds take almost no power.

i was just worried cause strobes flash rather bright so i thought they might be using high amount of current, but i guess even if they were, its only surges of current not continuous.
