I need something similar to this for my truck. I plan on mounting it on the headache rack. Any advice on wiring or brands of lights that are any good?

Reply:Ecco minibars are good and have a wide viewing angle https://www.eccoesg.com/us/en/products/minibars . The Ecco ED3701 surface mount strobes https://www.eccoesg.com/us/en/produc.../ed3701-series are exceptionally bright and have a very wide viewing angle, wider that the minibars. Grote used to be my go to but these, IMHO, are much better..............Mike
Reply:As far as LED's go.... You get what you pay for. cheap chinese Ebay/amazon crap will fail. (or turn yellow or fill with moisture)Buy Whelen or similar brand named tested equipment. I recently bought a Light bar for the top of my Jeep. It was $600 BLACK OAK LED .... I also have RIGID brand LED lights on my Kubota and pickup.

Reply:Also,Secure /mount them well.Otherwise they WILL get stolen. use tamper proof nuts & bolts.Miller 211Hypertherm PM 451961 Lincoln Idealarc 250HTP 221 True Wisdom only comes from Pain.
Reply:Feniex Industries is the new up and comer popular with all my EMS and firefighter friends. Made in Texas. Every bit as good as Whalen for half the price. https://www.fleetsafety.com/feniex-p...ng-light-bars/Miller Multimatic 255
Reply:Actually YESLouie just reminded me....I DO have a couple Feniex small lights... and they compare to the Whelen TR3 at about half the price. I still prefer Whelen... but if yer on a budget..... they are worth looking into.Miller 211Hypertherm PM 451961 Lincoln Idealarc 250HTP 221 True Wisdom only comes from Pain.

Reply:Will look into it thanks guysHobart Handler 190Hypertherm Powermax 45XPLincoln Ranger 305G EFI
Reply:We usually run these whelen mid size strobes, one each side of the rack. They last about a year or two if you use them a lot working in the city like we do... been thinking about switching to led versions and a different brand as whelen just doesn't last as long as they used to...
Reply:Fo the last ten years or so we used all strobes that looked CLEAR but flashed amber. Even the directional light bars.....
As ronsii mentioned i switched to led also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk:
Reply:Im liking the idea of 2 Ecco led beacons on each side of the rack instead of just 1 mini lightbar. That seems to be what most guys are running. https://www.eccoesg.com/us/en/produc...ns/7160-serieshttps://www.eccoesg.com/us/en/produc...-reflex-series

Reply:Or should I go with just 1 beacon in the center of the rack. Mostly what I want the lights for is acting as sort of a pilot car for when we haul equipment up the grade real slow...Hobart Handler 190Hypertherm Powermax 45XPLincoln Ranger 305G EFI
