I want to use several LEDs in my alarm install, but I have been told that if I use too many I could fry that stage of my alarm brain...if this is the case, how can I change that?

is there a low voltage relay that will allow 12V through?

can anyone help me with this aspect of my install?

how many do you wanna use.

spdt relays let 12 through. but the coil eats up alot more current that an led

you can run flashing led's off teh Ground when armed

You can use a transistor to amplify the current from the LED output, there are several threads on the12volt.com about this.
