Does anyone have strobe lights?

lots of my buddies have them. and i know quite a few of the triangle boys and they all have them.
the lights are VERY expensive. a light bar is about $150 that is 10-12 inches long. and single light is about $50. one of the brands they use is SHO-ME. u can do a search for them and see how expensive they are. they are 100% water proof and very bright. most of the videos u see of the triangle boys have about $500-$1000 in strobes on their bikes to make it look that good.

I have strobes in my headlights. Cheap kit from the auto parts store. The hardest part of the install was removing the headlights to drill the 1/2" hole. Once all that was done the rest was cake. Just make sure to silicone the bulbs in the headlights.
Mine also stop working after direct water contact to the power pack. Once they dry out they are good to go though. I am working on a way to waterproof it.
The lights you are talking about are not strobes, they are LEDs. And from what I have seen of those bikes, if they spent that much on what they have they got ripped off big time.

you are correct, they are LEDs, but they did not get ripped off. these are the only lights that look good and work in water. they come 100% waterproof out of the box. there is no cheap way to do it. i guarantee you that you dont do the amount of water riding we do.

I gotta jump in here.
Are you guys doing this for looks or for safety? I’ve been considering picking up a Headlight Modulator like they use on road bikes so I would be a little more visible. Ebay has them for about 75 bucks.
I figger it would be another way to keep poachers from sighting in on me when I’m in the sticks.

hey lucky, if you're looking for some video footage, go to youtube and type in Triangle Boyz, there are a bunch of vids there with the flashing lights. I would post a link, but I'm not that computer savvy.

I bought strobes from the parts store for about $15...They looked good till the front lights went under water and the headlights leaked water in...the main bulbs busted soon after but the strobes were still flashing.
