Abusing the Right to Use Lights and Siren (or maybe we should say "Illegal Use")

Being an supplier of lights and sirens, we are troubled with the way lights and sirens are abused. It may be a government official without the proper authorization, a "wannabe" police officer, or a volunteer EMT/Firefighter using there lights when they arent responding to a call. It can even be a police officer using it to get back to the station after a long shift.

Each case is wrong! This should not be happening! There needs to be stricter laws/guidelines stating who can use a light, does it need to be a lightbar, or when can it be used.

The above video is an example of a county government official using a single dashlight to get through traffic! This is just unfair. Its unfair to the others sitting in traffic and its even more unfair to everyone in his vacinity being that he was putting them all at risk.

Lets all use our LED lightbars or dash lights only when they are needed and only when they're allowed to be used by law!

Police Pursuit '09 Camaro Concept Unit 1:18 "Outfitted" with LED Lighting

I've always thought that model cars are "OK" but after seeing this one, I would say that done right, they are awesome! This Police Pursuit '09 Camaro Concept was fully outfitted in the front with an LED dash light, wig wags, red/blue alternating fog lights. In the back, this police car has two headliner mounted deck lights, and alternating tail lights. The only thing thats missing is side warning (but then again, its just a model car:)

Heres the video:Model Police Car

Inciter EX Review by Pimpala

Pimpala's review of the Inciter EX:

Not too long ago, I received two Inciter EX Dual head dash/deck LED lights from Herschel with Whacker Technologies. I got a red/blue and an amber/white model, both dual heads.

Right out of the box the first thing I noticed was that the lightheads looked similar to a Whelen TIR3 lighthead. The quality of the product seems to be excellent. I got the cigar plug version of the light. The cigar plug has power, pattern, and sync all built in. The cigar plug is a bit bulky but saves you from buying a switchbox, I suppose. The extrusion is well made and offers several mounting options. The lights come with a plug in system for syncing the lights by connecting the wires near the cigar plug. I tried it out and it seemed to work fine.

There is an SAE approval on these lights which should add some extra reassurance in purchasing these products. The word WHACKER is etched into each lense twice along with the SAE approval. This light is available in a 1,2,4,8 and 10 head design. The two head lights have 21 flash patterns. Herschel will be doing a video of those patterns soon. The flash patterns on the light were pretty good patterns. The red and blue were very rich and not pink or teal (see pictures).

I think these are really good lights, especially with their low price and seemingly great quality.

Final disposition: Pimp approves! Cool
