12 Volt Blinking Circuit Boards
Anyone know where I can get a ready made 12 volt blinking circuit board? All I want is a board that I can hook up 12 volt LEDs to, set a selector switch to what ever I want the blinking rate to be, and be done. Nothing more involved than that.

Well, there ARE 12 volt LEDs, for special purposes, which contain built in droppng resistors, but those are very rare compared to normal LEDs.
Typical RED LEDs usually operate n the 1.9 to 2.4 volt range. So do most YELLOW, AMBER, and GREEN ones.
Most BLUE and WHITE LEDs need from 3.2 to 3.6 volts.
What you seem to need is a blinken board that RUNS off of 12 volts, that will blink various LEDs of whatever voltage.
Check out Madman's blinken boards.
