Flashing Amber Light selection? Led, xenon?

Sir why do YOU go on a rant and make personal derogatory comments anytime someone says something you do not like?

I made statements of fact ... I made no comment about the OP whatsoever, I applaud him or anyone asking a question looking to get answers - let's review his quote:

"class 1 is for emergency vehicles, fire trucks etc"

Did you read that and verify that is exactly what he said? Good. Now let's look at what you said, a direct quote:

'...however you're statement that says they are only for emergency vehicles is incorrect, you can to use them."

Now, if your comparison of the two statements missed it let me politely point out that the word ONLY was not in the OP statement, and in your reply you said, and I repeat again, 'you're statement that says they are ONLY for emergency vehicles is incorrect ..."

Got that? Okay, so I just made my post to clarify that (1) the OP did NOT say what you stated and that (2) the OP was not incorrect. Now see, YOU had no problem telling the OP he was incorrect, that was fine, did anyone call you a crybaby or berate him or start an argument? Apparently it is perfectly acceptable for you to correct what someone else says and say they are wrong, but if someone corrects you, and it is verified with your own words, that substantiates you being the one that begins a personal attack.

Let's review further, YOU are the one that critiqued the OP for using the word ONLY, which in fact he did not, and that was fine until someone else politely points out that the word was not in there. At that point criticism is not longer allowed in your opinion as you accuse me "You seem like a crybaby that ONLY wants to start an argument over the word "ONLY". when in fact you are the one who originally brought up that subject. Again, it is fine for you to correct a misstatement but not for someone to correct you. Okay, got it.

So on to your last statement, in case you decide to complain about this reply ..."I never said he said "ONLY" in his statement, did I?"
(1) Yes, you did, and
(2) Since YOU asked me (see the question mark at the end of your sentence?) I replied and tried to be polite. Re-read the p0st and please, without emotion and posturing, tell me that "...however you're statement that says they are only for emergency vehicles is incorrect" convince me and others that the word "only" is not in your statement.

Respectfully, your friend, "The Crybaby"

 

Are you happy yet, because dude you have shed some serious tears, omg LMAO!!

Time for you a diaper change, get that #### cleaned up you're making a mess in here.

P.s. I didnt even read your response, I just wanted to laugh after the first sentence. Stop wasting you're time hand.

 

To the OP, I'm assuming your lights are mounted on door mounted mirrors. If that's the case your going to have a tough time finding a light that will hold up to the constant beating from the door slamming which is exponentially harder on the lights than anything they'll encounter going down the road.

I run OD almost every day in most states and Canada. The ONLY time I've had my lights come into question is Florida and that's just for the 360 degree visible rear lights. I have some magnet mount battery operated LED strobes and they have never questioned them.

Suffice to say, as long as you get something Class 1 your going to be fine. I'd recommend LED based on where your mounting them for the durability but even those are going to fail fairly quickly if they're subjected to door closing simply because of the sudden shock to the electronics each time.

 

The class1 is not the issue, being speed of traffic. But rather the color and output.

I tell you what LED is getting to where it's pretty bright. I bought a outdoor lamp made of about 90 LED's once for the house and in sunshine it was capable of taking away your vision and inflicting pain onto the retinas.

The one other thing related to light sources in vehicles dividing Emergency Vehicles and everyone is would be the color as well.

Get the brightest you can find for your Oversize where possible. You would be surprised at how many people fail to see the hulk sitting prior to the bridge in my area.

 

Okay so, Class I lighting is for any road-worthy vehicle that needs to be in operation while in the flow of traffic. These are your tow trucks, 18 wheeler w/ wide loads, etc. Class II lighting is for any road-worthy vehicle that does not need to be in operation in the flow of traffic. These would be your construction vehicles parked on the side of the road.

It gets a little tricky to define vehicles that require Class II lighting, but the rule of thumb is the "in operation" bit. So for instance a construction company truck moving from one side of the construction to the other in the flow of traffic isn't considered in operation, whereas a tow truck with a disabled vehicle is.

And then your Class III is for any non-road-worthy vehicle. These would be your forklifts, atvs, golf carts, gators, etc.

Also op: be careful with those style lights that you're looking at, while not really enforced some states consider those inadequate lighting. For instance in NC those aren't allowed on vehicles requiring Class I lighting, such as tow trucks. And while it's not really enforced, if you catch a cop on a bad day he can cite you for it.
