I have always been a fan of the rotating lights. And have used many over the course of my working adult life..


I recently needed a cheap throw light and started looking, researching, aka doing my homework, and reading up on threads posted on elightbars. Since my purchase I have recieved many compliments of utilizing the OLD SKOOL light, in conjunction with my all LED setup.

While I'm not a fan of high speed rotators (160FPM) this one is starting to grow on me.


Fit and finnish: Quality/Durabiility, medium duty light. with minimal interior noise for a low price (the saying "You get what you pay for", doesn't mean much with this product. As you still get a bright & effective light for under $55.00). built in on/off switch on lighter plug, comes with mounting plate and vinyl eye shield.


I'm very impressed with this light & would highly recommend this product to others! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


Notice my Iphone doesn't show the flash intensity very well in daylight.

I'm glad that someone is still manufacturing these teardrop beacons. Thanks for the review. Out of curiosity, which retailer did you purchase yours from?
