Who has any experience with them?
I need them for the race track, parades and when we cover events that include a police ******. Any suggestions on brands to look into/avoid?

Thanks in advance!!

Stay away from anything you see at autozone or any store like that. Sirennet.com has pretty good deals on their products, they have theyre own brand of strobe hideaways and are cheaper in price because they havent been out that long. They are just about as good as a whelen hide away strobe kit.

I'd say away from strobes, go with LED's. Strobes require a central pack where the leds can be run independent, don't draw as much amps, no heat, multiple flash patterns, etc.

Dubbs,
So there seems to be a heat concern with these strobes in small areas. Have you had any issues with the front turn signals? How long have you continuously ran them at one time? Do you have any pictures or idea of placement of the bulbs? Ducati is going to be doing the install when he does the headlight conversion so any help would be appreciated.

I'm digging that sirennet setup and the price. The tubes seem to be much longer than the LEDGlow setup so I'm assuming that translates to more output.

LEDs are great at night, but during the day you can't beat real strobes. I do have a couple ideas for a pair of D2s but I have a lot more important stuff to do before that will happen.

Cine, It looks like I may be able to retro some of these strobe kits into the bulb opening for the amber side marker, if you want a kind of a stealth strobe inside the headlight. Is this the style of the bulb that these kits use ?



Are you looking for certain colors ?

Im still learning about these emergency strobes.
