Running board light options?

[Blake]

So in my research I commonly see Feniex T3's, T6's and lights of that size. Has anyone thought of mounting a light stick like the Fusion 200 instead of the smaller lights?

 

[Carlos SpicyWeiner]

The fusion series is thicker than those but its still possible to do.

I figured that. I noticed that the new Fusion Running Boards Lights are the same dimensions just longer. I was just thinking for the money, would it be a smarter option since even in single color their only 109.00 dual runs about 160.00

I just don't understand this obsession with mounting warning lights (lights that aren't cheap) on the sides of a vehicle only 6 inches above the road

Whelen makes the tracer, which is a full stick (Meaning there is no gap between lights).

Chief ops, Although it sits lower, it is a good way to put intersection lights, making the vehicle noticeable from 360 degrees! While it may see to some as over kill, we have even done wiring to make one into a intersection traffic advisor!

I looked at the Tracer Solo. Looks like an easy solution for my running boards. My Chevy Avalanche is a Security equipment installation vehicle. The reason behind my amber lighting is so that when I'm working in a public area, the vehicle is noticed for safety and insurance purposes.

Are we talkin cameras or what? Just get a minibar. Done!

Not everyone likes a minibar on their vehicle.

I don't mind running board lights on trucks or SUVs, within reason of course, but I don't see the point on a car.

I figured what would it hurt to have some side warning. Even if I place two Feniex Fusion dual color surface lights, they can pull double duty.

Mount a side facing light light where it will be useful such as in the top front corner of each rear door window

Thank you for this idea. I've seen lights mounted this way before, just didn't understand the full reason behind it. Since I have an Avalanche what about the little hole area on the side of my upper rear Cladding?

I think that would work good, in combination with a intersection bracket on the front license plate.

 

[Blake]

The license plate is recessed. If I where to go that route, I would just flush mount lights at the sides of the front bumper in front of the front tires.

We recently built this Fire Battalion Chief Vehicle and used Whelen Tracers for intersection lighting and we believe these lights serve a great purpose!

I looked at doing a single Tracer module on the side. I don't need an entire running board worth.
