Legal stuff re "Driving" lamps
datalas:
I'm doing my bit for the festive season too ...
I'm wandering around randomly saying "humbug" ...
well, us grouchy types need to be catered for too
Andy.:
'Totally illegal!!!! Anything blue is a no no.... so I'm told'
Hmmm..... because our fine police force use Blue :?:
I was/am going to fit a rather nice little blue strobe/flasher to my rack for personnel use of course. Now I know that if I use it to get home a little quicker in time for my tea I may be asking to get stopped, but surely harmlessly using it whilst off-road or just as a little 'I'm here' signal in a carpark would'nt hurt anyone :?:
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way, :lol: :lol: :lol:
Andy.:
Hmmm.... looked on a link which I picked up on here and yep Blue out it seems :evil:
Quote 'These include restrictions to general colours of lamps, i.e. only red to the rear except for indicators, work lamps, reversing lights, number plate lights, other emergency lights, also restrictions as to blue lights or items imitating blue lights - these being restricted to emergency vehicles'.
So I may go and exchange it for an amber on which I believe is OK :D
Got the initial idea from a 90 that I saw with a small flasher (light) on top of his snorkel top and that was a clear lense but the light omitted was blue.
Paul:
If you want to go for a low cost Blue flashing strobe light
I surgest you go to your local alarm shop and purchase
a blue strobe light that is fitted to the house alarm bell box,
They are very bright and 12 volts....
Two look very good behind the front grill, for use off road
only........ :lol: :wink: :wink: :wink: :lol:
Andy.:
Sounds very much like what I've got, from Maplins under the Security section.
May just go and exchange it for an amber one then I know I'm kinda safe with that, was thinking of getting a beacon for the motor anyway.
