    How can I add a candle flicker LED to my static LED circuit?

    Hi everyone. I should start by saying I'm not sure I'm in the right place here (this isn't a householder issue - I'm making a Ghostbusters backpack for my son!), and that I have no knowledge at all of electrical circuits.

    Static caravan power supply

    I have a holiday caravan which I upgraded to a residential standard lodge. The old static had a 16 Amp supply which was OK as the oven and hob were gas though the supply would still trip if the kettle was on with the microwave but no big deal.
