HAW Twist Lock Strobes. How do they work???

[strobed]

I cant seem to figure out how these stay in place. I was told they are easier that regular strobes but it just doesn't make sense. I didn't drill yet but i cut a hole the right size into a piece of cardboard to see if i could figure it out. Anyone who can help it would be greatly appreciated.

that appears o be a pop in strobe tube.


just as the name states it just pops in the hole you drilled and that rubber ring around is "supposed" to create a good connecton to keep it from moving.


thats why alot of people prefer screw ins.

Is there not a difference between push ins & twistlocks? I thought twistolocks had to go in fixtures with notches so you could twist it & lock it in place.

So the full black circle(biggest part) goes into the head light?

see this is were im kinda puzzled ive never heard of a twistlock HAW. its either screw in or pop in. twistklocks are for dashlights grille strobes, the jet series, some edges etc...


I think we need some clarification from the OP

That head belongs in a housing, not a headlight. You could silicone it in if you're stuck with it but I'd return it otherwise.

As stated, Twistlocs are NOT used for hide-a-way applications in headlights and taillights. They are used in deck, grill, and larger scene/side lights.

You do have the twist lock strobe tube. However they will not work for a HAW application. They require a specific housing to fit into, one you cannot duplicate on your head lights. Get pop in or screw in style and you are good to go.
