View Full Version : Its Here! Strobes Group Purchase - Make your Truck Stand Out!
Code3Response 04-12-2004, 08:27 PM OK, the GP has been approved, and has had people anxiously awaiting! Make your truck stand out at shows, in parking lots, or cruisin down the strip on cruise nights!
Easy installation - just drill a 1 inch hole in your light assembly, and screw it in! run the cables to the power supply, and then to a switch and you are ready to be noticed!
They can be inserted in your headlights, tail lights, reverse lights, turn signals, fog lamps, DRLs, whereever there is a lense space!
I have both 2 and 4 strobe head kits availible.
Each kit comes with the strobe tubes itself, the power supply, and all necessary cables.
Just for purchasing and being an FSC member, you will receive free shipping. If I receive more than 5 orders, $5 off! More than 10? Well than you'll be getting $10 off! You guys get the idea, now recruit some friends and lets get the ball rolling!
The prices are listed below in each kit. If you would like a color strobe tube instead of clear, than add $10 per head. I can do clear, amber, red, blue, purple, and green.
2 Strobe Head Kit:
My regular price: $148.59
Your STARTING price: $139.50.
4 Strobe Head Kit:
My regular price: $237.59
Your STARTING 228.50.
With your first order, you are already saving over $10 off the normal price, plus free shipping. Get your friends, family, and coworkers to order, and all of your price drop! Remember, these are not the chincy strobes you see in Autozone or Pepboys - these are real police strobes, the same kind you may see in your local area. I sell thse same setup to police departments and fire departments around the United States.
If youd like to order, post your choice of the 2 or 4 head pacakge, what, if any add'l colors you would like,and your email address. I will email you a Paypal Money Request, or you can send a money order as well if you prefer.
Thanks guys, and Ill keep an updated list of confirmed purchases in this post!

I may want to talk to you about a couple other things as well.

Code3Response 04-12-2004, 08:41 PM OK - sweet! Yes, I carry a full line of halogen, Strobe and LED warning lights if you are interested. Also do two way radio equipment.
BogeyBoy82 04-13-2004, 11:52 PM you sellin red and blue or just amber?
i know its not illegal to have them...but everyone is gonna use them...what are the exact laws....if im informed correctly...it's okay to have amber as long as they do not alternate...
Code3Response 04-14-2004, 12:20 AM Amber and clear are okay on the road, off road, whatever. Red and blue I am selling, but I am in no way held responsible for their use. They are for OFF ROAD USE ONLY when parked at a truck show, etc. I would recommmend pulling the fuse or whatever in a normal daily driver scenario if you are using red or blue. Bad news if you "Accidentally" hit the switch :D
Jokeman 04-14-2004, 06:10 AM Are they Whelen?
Code3Response 04-14-2004, 09:57 AM They are Nova brand. The strobes themselves are made from the same company that makes for Whelen, the power supplies are different. Police Depts prefer this brand just due to the cost being lower but still the same quality. I had a blown Whelen power supply in the shop the other day - havent had any Nova yet. Im satisfied that their products are top notch!:head:
Luke2kZ71 04-14-2004, 10:00 AM can u legally use all the other colors besides red and blue on the road :think:
BogeyBoy82 04-14-2004, 10:50 AM if im not mistaken they cant alternate....
jryther 04-14-2004, 11:40 AM That brings up a good question. What will the flashing of this kit be?
alternate?
Both together?
Variable?
User set?
I'm guessing if this is the same stuff used by the PD, that they will alternate. But would be nice to know for sure.
Thanks!!!
Jon
Luke2kZ71 04-14-2004, 11:44 AM Im gonna make it a habit of pulling over bad drivers :D
Code3Response 04-14-2004, 01:19 PM Amber and clear can be used on the road no problem. You can set the pattern to be whatever you like. On the 4 head pack, for example, there are 4 plugs for the strobes. Plug 1 and 2 alternate with 3 and 4 - so depending on how you plug the cables in determins flash pattern - IE: left to right, top to bottom, an X pattern, etc. There are also different flash patterns such as single flash, double flash, quad flash, a CHAOS mode (:head: ) etc. There is a lot of user manipuability (is that a word? LOL ) here in these kits. OK - lets get some orders in!
surfib 04-14-2004, 02:10 PM code3,
could you shoot me an email on additional info about the strobes for private use. I work for a lifeguard agency and we are getting new trucks and we have to have strobes put on them. My email is surfib@cox.net. Thanks Mike

I am looking for 8 4 red 4 blue either single or dual control box because i dont want all on at one time...
Bz02z71 09-08-2004, 10:15 PM you also need to check the law in your area about the use of any alternating lights on a vehicle, State of Missouri you can NOT have alternating lights on the roadway with the exceptions of emergency vehicles and authorized vehicles
StationHouse 10-05-2004, 12:24 AM Amber and clear are okay on the road, off road, whatever. Red and blue I am selling, but I am in no way held responsible for their use. They are for OFF ROAD USE ONLY when parked at a truck show, etc. I would recommmend pulling the fuse or whatever in a normal daily driver scenario if you are using red or blue. Bad news if you "Accidentally" hit the switch :D
JESUS! What kind of advice are you giving out here!?!?!?!? Contrary to your statement, amber and clear ARE NOT "okay on the road" in most states without proper permits or reason.
NY, for example, (And most other states) require a permit for the installation and use of any amber lighting that is'nt factory. In order to obtain the permit, you must show reasonable cause for having said lighting. (Tow truck operator, construction vehicle, plow vehicle, etc) If you are using the lighting in a manner other than allowed for on your permit, you can be charged with anything as simple as a summary offense (traffic citation) to a felony charge for criminal impersonation.
In PA, white flashing lights are for use only by fire chiefs, fire aparatus and police vehicles (Notice I said vehicles, not officers. Said vehicles must be registered with a police dept. or municipality) If you are caught using them, you are GUARANTEED to be charged with criminal impersonation as well as several traffic offenses including wreckless operation of a motor vehicle on a public road.
In NJ, the use of forward facing white flashing lights has been outlawed by state mandate for ANY vehicle! Yes, police vehicles included. I know, you will see them on police vehicles all the time, but if they cause an accident as a result of using those lights... well, you figure it out.
Some states allow for red lights for construction or tow trucks. Some states allow blue lights for snow plow vehicles. Some local laws are different from state laws. (Example, we have a town next to ours where vol. firemen ARE NOT allowed to have ANY emergency lighting on thier vehicles regardless of state laws that allow them to have blue lights.) Some states don't even allow the installation of any extra lighting other than what came from the factory regardless of whether or not it is used off road. If the vehicle is registered, it must meet the state's inspection regs. My point is, each state's law is different and you should be familiar with them.
We are also a retailer and installer of police, fire and EMS equipment. Any internet or mail order sales of lighting or sirens we make are accompanied by a statement of disclosure telling end users to check with thier state and local authorities before installing or using any of these products. Any installs we do are done ONLY to authorized vehicles and we will only install what is permitted on that vehicle, nothing more. We check a person's credentials on walk in sales of some items and have been know to refuse to sell to some individuals do to a lack of affiliation to any public safety orginization.
I would strongly reccomend telling someone you don't know the answer to thier question the next time you are'nt sure and referring them to thier local or state police. Or, tell them to do a search by thier state on Google or another search engine to see what's on line regaring thier vehicle laws. You'll have a happier customer if you give them the right info. (or at least point them in the right direction) instead of just telling them "Amber and clear are okay on the road".

Bz02z71 10-05-2004, 12:30 AM your correct that each state has diff laws, but most states around here allow amber for construction, and anyone can get that. blue here is for vol. departments, blue in ARK. is for police. just check with you state and you will be fine.
StationHouse 10-05-2004, 06:56 AM your correct that each state has diff laws, but most states around here allow amber for construction, and anyone can get that. blue here is for vol. departments, blue in ARK. is for police. just check with you state and you will be fine.
That is the point that I am trying to make. I understand that the guy is trying to make a sale, but before just telling someone that certain colors are ok in a broad and general sense, he should make sure he knows what he is talking about. Amber may be OK in the states in your area without a permit, but as I said in my previous post, in most states they are not without a specific permit.
I was'nt trying to debate what is or is'nt legal in particular states, but merely showing a few examples of where his generalized statement is wrong and can get someone into trouble if they install these lights just on his say so.

**post edited by Admin.....Stop with the name calling**
Code3Response 10-05-2004, 06:00 PM Thats right CDubz - you dont. I do. Myself and Mr. Pranski have known each other for several years. Mr. Pranski- as stated on eLightbars all sales have been clear/amber only with realease of liability signed waivers stating exactly what you have said - check local/state laws regarding use. any red/blue have been sold with anyone presenting and me verifying proper credentials... I.E. VFF or EMS. Thanks for the concern, its taken care of.
cDUBZon40s 10-05-2004, 06:26 PM **edited by Admin second warning stop with the bashing**
redsled 10-06-2004, 05:44 AM what is the power supply and bulb wattage on the 4 head unit and do you have a pic of the switch assembly?
