viper alarm
I got a viper alarm system for the car. Theres a Blue LED light mounted in the car and it flashes once per second when the alarm is armed. The place that installed my alarm is closed right now so I might get an answer here.
Does the alarm system drained the battery ALOT?? The LED seems pretty bright so Im a bit worried. On the EX accord models, they have a red flashing light in the car but its not as bright..(Maybe because its not LED? ) Now my car has keyless entry, remote trunk popper and it also have a shock sensor..hehe I barely kicked my tired that hard and the alarm went off. =) |

An LED shouldn't draw much power at all......have you checked if the cars battery is going bad?

The led could stay on for probably a week straight before it had any sort of effect on the battery.

LED is known to not waste energy, if you've seen those new flashlights that use LED. a battery can last years in those flashlights because no energy is converted to heat most conventional lights. and thats off a battery you buy at eckerds or something...so don't worry, LED is the way to be
 and I don't know what you're saying about the EX model being different...I got a Hornet alarm and its red..my friends Viper alarm is blue..I guess it just depends on the alarm brand

heh, a led can go for a long long time before it drains the battery. the only time i've seen a led waste a battery it's when i burnt it because i put 12v in in instead of 1.5 v

Your dome light takes more power than your alarm led light.
