Default Thought on rotating lights

Hi All

I've used a magnetic based rotating amber light for convoying and traveling on high speed roads when it could not be avoided.

As all my trucks have retained 6 volt systems I just replaced the 12 bulb with a 6 volt bulb (brightest one that would fit the base) and it works pretty good though is a little slower revolving. Got another unit at a flea market that had a two step drive using an idler pulley. Changed the bulb on that one and repositioned the drive belt to cut out the idler pulley it spins a little faster.

Cheers Phil
