    I ordered the ones from Ackland Grainger, they are an authorized Canadian supplier for the Stonepoint LED lights but they can't order them for some reason. the ones they have look similar but are not the Stonepoint LED, they are called Flare Alert

    I contacted Stonepoint in Colorado and they told me Grainger is the only supplier to Canada for their products.

    I had no luck whatsoever with any Canadian suppliers for the stonepoint LEDs, or the FlareAlert listed through Acklands Grainger. the ones from Acklands are discontinued and no longer available. the only ones available through Amazon Canada are a pack of three in red.

    I managed to get a set, 2 red and 2 yellow, from a friend trucking in the US. he picked them up from a TA truckstop in Oregon. he mailed them to me once he was back in BC stonepoint.jpg

    Very nice , where do u wire them into? I have ran wired lights but only a red light bar on back of 60ft rebar and steel. Ground and hot wire ran into back of the trailer.

    Depending on where you run and what loads.

    You might need 2 sets of yellow.

    Cali for instance, requires every 20 feet IIRC.

    Basically like some trailers that aren't lit up along the entire side. One in the front. One in the middle. Red on the rear.

    I used that same plug for wired lights you use for light bar on those 60 ft loads.
    I had the wire rolled up for clean and tidy storage.

    Try to find a rechargeable kit also for the triple A's.

    You're not constantly buying batteries and you'll have em on the charger as needed for use.

    Som of our trailers have a 4 pin connector on the rear for lights. I also carry a 7 way cable that has a male and a female end with about a foot of cable in between. I tapped into the marker lights and ground wires on one end. This can be used in between the truck and trailer or on the rear of a rgn where the flip axle would go.
