The LEDs draw much less current than even one incandescent bulb.  In my
limited tests, both the original flasher and the non-LED electronic types
(at least the Tridon EL13 I tested) will fail to flash at all, with only LED
bulbs.

The only flashers that will work in all cases are the ones that take a
separate ground wire (so they can get enough power to operate without having
to pull it through the LEDs).
