Has anyone added 360° Rotation LED Strobe Lights to their layout?

I was thinking it would be cool to add these to watch towers or as an indicator when a train is passing.  Possibly the 3535 Security Car, the 52 Fire Car, or the 16688 Ladder Car.  They run on 6 VDC.  I'm somewhat familiar with using LEDs, just not sure what to do with 3 wires.  Any wiring / powering assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!  John

Pretty cool item.  The answers are in some of the reviews.  Here's a summary for optional wiring if not plugging into an RC controller.

Its input from the Power supply needs a current limiting resistor wired in series.  Probably something like a 1/2 Watt 220 Ohm.

To cause the blink mode to change, momentarily connect the Yellow Signal wire to the unit's DC negative (GND).
