Tell me about strobe lights

[MA Arborist]

Who here has strobes on their trucks/trailers and what kind of money are we talking??

I’m interested in putting them on my trucks mostly for safety when working on roads.
(tired of idiots speeding by the jobsite and hoping the strobes will at least get their attention).

Thanks

We have them on all of our trucks, they’re not terribly expensive in my opinion - lights, wiring, switches, etc. can be done for $300-500 per truck, if you do your own install.

We don’t use a kit, we have set up all our trucks custom, depending on how the truck is designed. Pickups and the one stakebody/flatbed we have get a mini light bar on the top, Buyers makes a good one, also good is the Federal Signal Highlighter, and the Frontier LED Mini Bar.

For chip trucks, we use various rubber grommet and surface mount lights from Pine Hill Trailer, one of our local dealers. They have a big enough selection to fit every application we have.

Wiring we do with spoils of wire we keep in the shop, switches are whatever looks best, or the factory upfitter switches if the truck has them.
