Winter Lighting for Plowing

[DustyRusty]

Looking for some ideas for emergency lighting for when I am blowing or plowing snow near the read, or if I have to go into the roadway. I have been looking at LED beacons, strips, and small button mounts, about the size of a quarter. Not looking to break the bank, but to have enough lighting to keep everyone safe. I learned today about a site that sells all the strobes that are used on emergency vehicles ( https://www.strobesnmore.com ) and they have some very interesting products, but not wanting to reinvent the wheel, what are you presently using?

Linkitom 12-24V 12-LED Super Bright Sync Feature Emergency Hazard Warning Strobe Lights with Main Control Box Surface Mount - 4PCS (Amber) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081VKCSHG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_BYT96YTSDS7P12XVA04N?psc=1

Don’t have, but maybe something like this? I personally would cut the cigarette lighter adapter off and hard wire it.

I bought the Nilight lightbar and 2 spots, kit on Amazon for around $100.
I had to buy 2 x 3" square ubolts and fashion up a couple simple brackets (easy peasy)
similar to this one NILIGHT

I also added a multicolour, multi LED, magentic mount top light which has 15 flash patterns.
SIMIlar to this one flash/strobe (the toplight plugs into the "cigarette lighter" and the Nilight kit I plugged into the left rear fender 20a accessory wire intended for lighting. I put the switch in the hole by the loader valve stick.

I haven't had it a year yet, so no snowblowing, but it lights up the yard like the daytime
so I think it'll be fine.

I bought this one last year.

I'm indifferent about it, it works, LED< bright, super strong magnets, plug and play into
12v socket. has like 4 different flash modes.

I have a flashing yellow strobe with a strong magnetic mount on the bottom , it plugs into the 12 volt socket and has an inline switch, I don’t remember where I got it from though, I think it was about 50.00 or so, it’s meant for going on the top of a vehicle for construction work

Dusty - I have a go into the road a bit.

Besides my added LED’s on the ROP’s for lighting/vision, I changed the hazards to LED. I think they helped greatly over OEM bulbs.

You guys that shop amazon and think $54 or $100 are good prices should look at this :

I went with the products from ROPSLights.com in Canada and can't say enough good things about them.

Don't really need those, but I may buy them, just because!

OK so are you looking for warning lights, or light to see by, just so we are clear. Everybody has covered what I was going to, so take your pick my friend,, 100 bucks will get you just about anything you need

 

[DustyRusty]

I am looking for warning lights. I have enough lighting on my tractor without adding additional. thanks

 

[GreensvilleJay]

It doesn't matter how well lit up your tractor is,sadly, while odds are small, someone will NOT see the million candlepower of flashing lights and hit you......
gets worse every year, more and more IDIOT drivers on the roads.....

It’d make a heck of a back-up light for the pickup truck, heh?
