Review on 🚨 SpeedTech Lights Mini 14 High-Powered 72W LED Strobe Lights for Trucks, Cars, Plows, and Emergency Vehicles - Magnetic Roof Mount, Amber/Amber (Yellow/Yellow) by Robert Wood

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Very directional and NOT 72 watts!

The light is bright but not as bright as I expected for the price. I doubt it's brighter than cheap flashlights. It's also VERY directional (see image). Most of their available Flash templates are just a slightly faster version of the previous template. So it actually only has about 8 flash patterns, but some with different speeds. It comes with a cigarette lighter plug. I asked the company for a pigtail that I could plug into their hardwired socket (so I don't have to cut the cigarette plug if I want to use it later) and they just told me to buy another cigarette plug and cut it off. . Not by what they take by the fork! Overall, I am disappointed that I spent the extra money on this product. I wouldn't buy it again. Update: I actually measured the consumption of this light bar with all the LEDs and it was only 1,055 amps. This means it was only about 15 watts TOTAL (based on applied voltage)! Far from the declared 72 watts. One star deducted for that. Even if it drew a maximum of 3.5 amps, it would only be 44 watts at 12.6 volts. Don't expect it to be as bright as the pricey units you see at freeway exits. It's not much better than the Chinese ones which are half the price. Look at the picture how badly the light spreads. It's on my skid steer about 15 feet from the wall. The light of the 14" light strip only reaches about 30". Also attached is a photo of a real light amplifier.
