Lucas 8FL flasher unit connections

Forums

For the 2 pin flasher unit can someone tell me which wires go to the B and L terminals?

Is B for Battery or Bulbs and is L for Live or Lights?

I can't find a wiring diagram or any information to determine this.  I have the standard positive earth system.

As this Flasher is a Bimetal strip it doesn't matter. If you try and use a modern electronic one then they would be made for Negative Earth.

Alan, thanks for your swift reply with this.  I'm still intrigued with what B & L stand for, even though it doesn't matter with the 8FL unit.

(B)attery & (L)oad..  But as A.O says, on a two wire sytem it doesn't really matter. 

Convention would have it that the live terminal went to the heater (bi-metallic strip).  But as the unit could be used on either +ve or -ve earth, it doesn't really matter.

Geoff, thanks for explaining that, I'll mark up my wiring diagram accordingly.
