    California/CA Flash Patterns

    In general I understand Title 13 regarding red forward facing steady burn and only certain flash patterns within the flash rate speed. So basically what everyone is saying is that the only reason something is labeled “CA flash pattern” is to make it dummy proof so it can be legally used in CA...

    California/CA Flash Patterns

    What is the difference between a California flash pattern (CA flash pattern) vs a “regular” flash pattern? Like what’s the difference between a CA Signal Alert vs Signal Alert, CA Double Flash vs Double Flash, and so forth?

    USB Power Supply

    Should probably watch how much the usb plug pushes out. I had a dash cam that had a plug at 1a. It broke so I plugged it into a 2.1a and fried the battery in the dash cam. It was a few years old so it could’ve been a coincidence. But there is also such a thing as overcharging too, assuming...

    Real talk - flash patterns

    Like they said, slow simultaneous flashes for the rear with a traffic advisor. Slow flashes can be seen more from a distance and help drivers gauge how far you are. Also having the lights at both ends of your car helps drivers distinguish how far ahead you are too. Rapid seizure lights grab...

    Best police lightbar

    Those Whelen liberty II lightbars are f**king bright. Their 2 takedown lights light up everything in front of them too. I’d get those if money wasn’t an issue

    No drill lightbar mounting

    The Honolulu police department have personal cars with Whelen mini light bars on top. They aren’t permanent mounts and have some type of clamp I believe. It is then secured with a padlock to prevent theft. Wires appear to go through the door seal, most likely into a plug. Probably leaks...

    Whelen avenger question

    Avenger is a good dash light. I’d probably buy it for $150. Thought these were selling for about $200 new-ish. It’s not like these lights wear that much, it is LED and not always constantly on. The Avenger II seems interesting with their linear and TIR optics. It’s a good light for having...

    Extreme Tactical Dynamics

    Was it their older style lights? With the supposed 1 watt LEDs? I honestly think the lights with their “3 watt” LEDs are pretty good. Not Whelen, code 3, federal singal good but pretty close. Maybe if they worked on their optics a little more? Or maybe built them in America. Those amazon...

    Extreme Tactical Dynamics

    LOL well actually I’ve been watching this forum for a while but just never made an account. Nobody ever talks about the “other” brands but I know some have tried them. Emergency lights aint exactly a very popular topic in the world like cars or firearms. I know there is no way to convince you...

    Extreme Tactical Dynamics

    I just wanted to share what I thought about ETD, Extreme Tactical Dynamics. So I bought 2 of their lights, Foxtrot 16 Linear and the Chaser Linear, both in Blue/Blue. At the time, it was advertised as using Gen IV 3 watt LEDs in both lights. The Fox 16 supposedly meets SAE 1 class but the...
