Got a new beacon for my 3cx
hi i recently bought a 4 foot britax lightbar with 4 rotators for my project 21 3cx i got it for a good price on ebay from a guy up in thurso but am now wondering if it will look a bit over the top and also if the battery will cope with the 4 lights i'am sure i have seen a 3cx super with one of these before bt not 100% sure so just looking for you're opinions

Re: Got a new beacon for my 3cx
ok the leds are smart we have them fitted on our gully tankers think they are brighter than halogen beacons i thought about getting 2 and puting them on my jacklegs but only use them on dual carriageways or when working on the roads.haha better not forget to switch all those beacons off at lunchtime it def wouldn't start lol blackpool illuminations eat your heart out
