Ugly they are, but when the people see those 3W Amber Luxeons, 6 total with Carlco 6/25 lenses, they are like watching UFOs.

Those leds are in my work car( harbor security). The flasher unit is Sho-Me 11.1005. 6* 3W@110Lum Luxeon and Carlco 6/25 degree lenses.

The flasher has 7 flash patterns. I think that I have only led warning lights on area.
I was not satisfied work cars single lousy 22 W rotating beacon.
I did also have two of these

Strobe beacons, they died. I'm planning to put 8 Luxeons/ beacon and new Sho-Me strobe led flasher soon.
Future is bright, 16 * LXHL-LH3C Red-Orange III Star to roof !
:rock:

If you go for some different colors your buddies will soon be saying, "Here comes the xmas tree!!"

pfft, im sure ppl in Boston will get a laugh out of it...unless they're really THAT paranoid

good idea, but leave it at orange.. since its under the construction caution lights...If you put on red and or blue flashers you might get pulled over for it:ohgeez:

I really liked reading this tread ! I had some strobes on my car too :lolsign:

Any info on the driver and strobe circuit used ?
Check out the Whelen site for ideas about strobe mounting
(sloped enclosures with suction cups) Cheers man !

come to think of it...if you turn your headlights out and drive on a road with rolling hills in the light, an observer at the next highest point down the road might mistake it as a UFO
