Looking for: flasher with programmable pattern!

Post by MotoFAN »

HI all!

I am looking for any flasher with programmable by user pattern (NOT selectable from preprogrammed by mfg. list!).

It should be some box to which it's possible to connect two superbright LED's or two strobes.

For use in the car.

Something similar is available on the market?

Most LED flashers offer this.. Whelen, Federal, Code3 etc.

I have yet to see a LED/Strobe combo flasher.

By reading your post, I don't know how much you know about them...but its not one size fits all.

LED's are powered by 12vDC with or without internal flashers on the LED head, and strobes require a strobe power supply. No mix/match.

You mean programming? Including flash pattern, including pause between blocks of flashes, "play mode" (loop or once)?

For e.g. I need to program this patterns:

1. Flash/Flash/Flash/Pause;
2. Flash/Flash/Pause/Flash;
3. & etc.

Pause length must be programmable or selectable from available with the minimum step 0.5 sec.

And the "playing" mode should be changeable - once or loop.

Any examples of suitable products from Whelen, Federal, Code3 & etc.?

Combo is NOT required. LED or strobes. But LED is preferred.

I know it, therefore prefer LED technology. But if anything similar is not issued, I will agree on strobes.

Nobody makes anything like that for our purposes. Primarily becuse it is totally unnecessary and there is no market for it. What you want is something you might have more luck in a theatrical shop with. But even then, I doubt you'll find much.

But I still hopes and Pj promised that it is.

Umm, no he didn't. Are you on drugs or something?

PJ is talking about flashers with multiple selectable patterns. What you want doesn't exist.

I am aware of that. Which is why I'm telling you AGAIN that it doesn't freaking exist. Obviously PJ misunderstood your poorly worded question and nobody promised you anything.

You so are assured because well know all products of the basic manufacturers emergency lights?

P.S.
English isn't the my native language. It is not necessary so sharply concerns my questions and literally to treat the told.

Enough.

MotoFAN - what you seek doesn't exist as a pre-packaged emergency light controller. Yes, I have extensive knowledge of all the major manufacturers flashers.
