Yes I see your a dealer and installer, so having demo vehicles would be a must for showing/displaying & selling the various products you carry. This I understand..
And having worked in the security field in this state for 15yrs covering all aspects of that field I want to add the following links so others can see what the mandates are so there's no confusion. Security in Florida is mandated under
FS chapter 493.

I'm really not trying to argue here or pick one, I'm just trying to understand the need for large amounts of light and showing the blinding blob effects they have on others Or the need for
POV's to have the same output or more than an official emergency vehicle.
Local LE can dictate certain vehicle lighting per the state statutes for flashing head lights, certain colors prohibited & the use of audible warning devices (sirens).
Florida Laws: FL Statutes - Title XXIII Motor Vehicles Section 316.001 Short title. - Florida Attorney Resources - Florida Laws

The definition of an emergency vehicle in the state of Florida is listed below. I'm sure it's the same in other states or a close variation as well. but is provided again as a reference
“Emergency vehicle” shall specifically mean:
1. Any motor vehicle used by any
law enforcement officer or employee of any city, any county, the state, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or the Armed Forces of the United States while on official business;
2. Any fire department vehicle of any city or county of the state or any state fire department vehicle;
3. Any motor vehicle designated as an emergency vehicle by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles when said vehicle is to be assigned the use of frequencies assigned to the state;
4. Any motor vehicle designated as an emergency vehicle by the sheriff or fire chief of any county in the state when said vehicle is to be assigned the use of frequencies assigned to the said county;
5. Any motor vehicle designated as an emergency vehicle by the chief of police or fire chief of any city in the state when said vehicle is to be assigned the use of frequencies assigned to the said city.
In the end I thank you for the conversation. And I wish you the best in your business and I may come in and see what you sell as a potential customer one day.
