Review on 🚨 SpeedTech Lights Flare 360 Degree LED 18W Strobe Light: Super Bright Surface Mount Grille Flashing Light for Police, Construction Trucks, and Emergency Vehicles – Amber/Clear Alternating by Butros Allen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fits great on my PPG helmet

The light is bright and small. The built-in turn signal ensures a compact installation. I power the light with two 9V batteries in series, giving 18V. According to the manual, the flash is designed for 30 V. The mode button and power button are recessed into the helmet to prevent accidental activation. The epoxy sealing the flash had some drips preventing a flush mount. This was solved with the help of a office knife and a file. I don't have 34 firmware options, watch the video. But I have what I need for my purposes. I would like to be able to access Always On mode via the yellow mode selector cable. According to the instructions, activating the yellow wire for 3 seconds does not activate the continuous burn mode. I only noticed this after the installation. I didn't connect the green wire, so I didn't turn on the stuck mode. As a test, I switched it on to two Li 9vs in series for 60 minutes. There was still plenty of life left in the batteries. The base of the LED heated up to a whopping 175 degrees Fahrenheit.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Everything ok
