Blue ones are illegal unless you're in the emergency services. PM VPower as he supplies and fits a range of them.

Seriously like, what's with all these trucks with the blue light's on the front?

I used to be the Irish importer (probaly still am) for this company Clicky i still have a few left that we use for emergency breakdowns etc. Incredible lights. Let me have your comments, and if there was enough interest I might look at taking another shipment in.

Try Haztech, http://www.haztec.biz/ have used them for refuse collection vehicle strobes etc.
Though blue lights on the public road on anything other than emergency vehicles and law enforcement is illegal
Vehicles using them as display lighting though not flashing are also illegal, as is the use of Green or Red lighting on the front of a vehicle
I have a red flashing light attached it my rear brakelights to reinforce the fact that I am using my brakes and that I may have a learner rider who may or may not slow without warning, so I can also use it to ask a tailgater to back off??

There's no specific rule on green lights per se, there is this however:

Restrictions on lighting-colour.

41. (1) (a) A vehicle shall not be equipped with lighting which when lit shows any light to the front of the vehicle except a white or yellow light.



(b) The provisions of paragraph (a) of this sub-article shall not apply as respects direction indicators.

I dunno if these lighting laws are enforced, e.g. all Hino trucks have had 3 green forward-facing lights on the roof of the cab for as long as I can remember, breaking at least two of the regulations.

Coolio. I have red strobes on the back plus green and white ones on the front. I use them for marshalling.
On the Garda bikesafe course we came upon a woman driver broken down on the bridge in Chapelizod. Both the Guard and I pushed the vehicle on to the path while leaving our bikes in the middle of the road with the disco lights flashing. When he saw them he just said they were neatly done.

these are designed for car use. waterproof box and waterproof switches, you'll be right.

I have amber strobes/led flashers that I have on my bike for marshaling etc. same as the Gardaí but in amber.

Do a google search ... Emergency vehicle systems. They are based in the uk, excellent stuff but a bit expensive. For my set front and rear plus controller it was about €240

Here is mine. I've 2 on the front and 1 just over the license plate

I've a pair of amber flashers too, also used for marshalling.

a local motor factors supplied them at cost price!!

They're the same type as used on county council lorries.

[Nsr-Giggs]

I had blue strobes behind the indicator lenses on my old ped. Got them in halfords I think there 44euro for the controller and 4 blue L.E.Ds

Recorded on a phone so the flash rate will be alot slower than they actually are...

Curious, why would you put blue flashing strobes on the front of your bike?

[proinnsias]

Guys, be aware that unless you're on the rather short list of vehicles allowed flashing lights other than direction-indicators, you could be in for a nasty surprise.

Couple of parts of the vehicle lighting regulations deal with who can have flashing lights, of any colour!!

[valkeire]

Plenty of strobes listed here;

Green is restricted to non-ambulance medical personnel (on-call doctors etc) iirc ?

[LaFiamma]

Open to correction, but can't Emergency Personnel, ie EMT's, Paramedics, Firefighters etc attach Blue / Green strobe lighting onto their civilian vehicles where when on call and they have to get to a scene in a hurry they are permitted to use these strobes?
