As a former firefighter and someone with a keen interest in vehicle lighting including emergency / warning lights, PLEASE FIX THOSE LIGHTS. Strobing chaos as you have now is worse than no lighting at all. For simple marking of a position, steady burn or very slow flashing is best. For "get out of my way" or "you need to stop or react", faster flashing helps, but it needs to be very distinct. Either everything on one side on and everything on the other side off, alternating slow enough that the brain can recognise the movement of light side to side, or changing from one colour to another distinct colour. The best example of that I've seen is our local Ambulances (seperate emergency service in Australia). All of their lights are dual colour red / blue. And ALL of the lights are on displaying either all red, or all blue. You will not see a aingle blue light anywhere at the same time as a red light. It grabs your attention instantly. The worst example I've seen, unfortunately, is the fire brigades, where some lights are set to cycle through all of the flash patterns. Approaching a scene (or working around it) it is nothing but a confused mess of flashes. It's hard to define individual vehicles at night and can trigger epilepsy in people. At bush fires, particularly at night, we'd turn off the lights so that we could see better and not get headaches. Many LED lights come with dimmable functions. This may be light head specific with a "low power" trigfer wire, or through a digital lighting controller where the light modules are set to steady burn and the controller does the flashing. The controller can then dim ANY LED lights and often also include DVI, or dynamic variable intensity. DVI introduces "fade in, fade out" effects which are less jarring on the eyes than instant on or off. As a rule, flashing lights should not be used UNLESS there is a hazard. They may look cool, but their purpose is to warn others of an issue in which they need to take specific action, such as slowing down or moving over. Using them for normal driving, even off-road, degrades that effect. It's the old tale of the boy who cried wolf. How will an offroad driver know if its just some wanker with flashing lights, or an actual hazard, offroad tow truck etc. Not calling you names or trying to insult you, but most people just don't understand and go with "if it looks cool, I'm cool". That aside, not heard of this brand and I'll look at what they offer. If you have a contact with them, something I'd pass on is that a two wire setup is possible and would be WONDERFUL. Think of Canbus, two wires provide both power and a data signal. A compact lighting controller then only needs inject the data signal which makes wiring so much easier, cheaper, more flexible and more compact overall. For example, I want to setup a lighting package on the rear of my vehicle. 4 dual colour amber / white, and three tri colour amber / white / red. It will provide white scene illumination, brake light function, indicator function (amber indicators seperate from brakes as required in most of the world that isn't the USA), amber warning as well as traffic director function. Those functions will overlap, so if amber warning is on and I turn on rear scene lights, some lights will maintain amber warning and some will swap to white scene lighting. That means each light needs ro be wired separately, that's 17 different trigger wires, JUST for the rear lights. Front, left and right lights are also planned with amber warning and scene lights. I've worked out around 40 trigger wires will be needed in total for all the functions I want. Whom ever brings a two wire system to market first is getting my money and I bet a lot of installers will also be happy new customers.
@FortuneTacoAZ3 ай бұрын
That is one hell of a comment. This lighting setup is designed as an off-road safety feature, and i know very many people who run lights light these its not just me. These lights look way more blinding and intense in the video than they do in person. If you are about 20 - 30 feet behind the vehicle you can look directly at the lights and they are not blinding like you might think. These lights already come with a 2 wire function. They have a power wire, ground wire, then function 1 and function 2 wire you you can wire up a pattern and have a second wire ran to brake lights for dual function.
@35manning3 ай бұрын
@@FortuneTacoAZ again, not meant to be an insult to you. But tell me this, what safety benefit do those give when flashing like that over a steady burn? It's not always about pure light intensity blinding people, but rather the flashing pattern of light. I've worked in airport and trucking (including rollback trucks, oversize loads etc) with amber warning systems and have over 11 years as a firefighter with red/blue lighting. I have first hand real world experience that shows simpler lighting is better. At emergency scenes, after the chaos of initial arrival, it wasn't uncommon for us to go around and turn off emergency lighting on most vehicles. Only the vehicles blocking the road or being a traffic hazard needed their lights to be on. If driving in a convoy, only the first vehicle would use sirens, to help people clearly hear them rather than having a confusing mix of sounds. Having the same or similar colours (like amber and red) close together and alternating produces a "single flickering light" source, particularly from a distance, that really isn't as useful as it could be. My advice isn't to stop using these lights, but rather how to make them more effective and to convey the right message. "This vehicle exists" and "This vehicle presents or is protecting a hazard" are two very different messages. I do hope you'll read through my comment again and try to understand it for what I intended it to be. Then you can pass in that knowledge to your friends and others on the trails to promote a positive change.

@@FortuneTacoAZ do they have a sync wire? Sometimes the pattern change wire doubles as the sync wire. If they do, than my suggestion would be function 1 is steady burn on them all and function 2 to alternate a double or quad flash left than right. Units with a sync wire often have each pattern duplicated, the duplicate is offset in timing. Eg, pattern 1 is on then off, pattern 2 is off then on. I'd be happy to help as best I can if you would like that.
@35manning3 ай бұрын
Just read the manual for the lights, yellow is your combination programming and sync wire. Connect to +12v for programming, all yellows together with no 12v or ground for sync. They also have a dim mode, but unfortunately it is set during programming and can't be used on the fly unless you set both functions to the same flash pattern and set one of them to dim mode. Also unfortunately, all of their light switches and siren controllers appear to be the older "basic switch" design, compared to a few companies that have moved to computer programable smart systems.
