Military convoy light.

(1/3) > >>

Andy.:
I know these were fitted to Sankey trailers, but were they ever fitted to vehicles  :?:

muddyweb:
Yes

You'll notice a lot of the Land Rovers have their diff pans painted white to aid convoy driving too.

hobbit:
They are normally mounted underneath, onto the inside of the rear chassis, to shine a low wattage (5w i think), onto as tim says a white painted rear diff pan, or attached to a retangular white plate mounted in a suitable low, well hidden from prying eyes from above

Range Rover Blues:
That's one of the reasons ex-mod vehicles have so many positions on the light switch.  In convoy the only light showing would be the convoy light, except for the front & rear vehicles.  If it gets too dim you're too far away, if too close it dissapears under the tailgate.  So my dad told me.  He also said it's not that easy when you're driving a tank and all you can see of the world is through the armoured porthole, but that's a story for another day.
