Red Warning Lights (School Bus): Strobing/LED versus Incandescent

[TheKlops99]

Is this a BB Vision?

@TheKlops99: No. It's a 2004 Intl/BB.

Ive noticed newer school bus warning lights are now days becoming strobing. I know the school system I attended started them in 1999 officially for the stop signs but I know one driver who got a brand new bus in 97 had them retrofitted to the stop sign while the rest of the 97s still had the standard flashing lights on the stop signs. I dont think the over head lights are strobing at this point.

@MrWill1985 Strobing, LED, and Strobing/LED school lights and stop arms are becoming more popular these days.

@flywithjacob most school buses dosen't do that

what part of mass

[yugiohman1]

hey true blue with the strobing light does your light monitor do a weird thing cuz i have a blue bird andall my lights strobe and instead of the light monitor doing a solid flash it blinks

[TrueBlue466]

@yugiohman1: We replaced the original Doran exterior light monitor with a SoundOff exterior light monitor. All of the LEDs I ordered were SoundOffs. The warning lights strobed on the light monitor (as they did on the outside of the bus). The SoundOff monitor worked fine with the exception of the tail lights, reverse lights, and one of the turn signals. We never figured out what was wrong with it.

that is a nice bluebird, can u do a video about the bus?

[TrueBlue466]

@NCFerrySystemfan:

I may do a walk-around, inside/outside video of the bus. It is a 2004 International/Blue Bird 3800.

Wow, you can really see the difference here. Pretty cool.

I prefer the incandescent lights in the morning I often see a bus with LEDs (non-strobing) and I've noticed that the red lights often seem amber because of them being brighter, just my opinion

[matts4290]

If they were cheap, I'd already have them.

[luis900997]

We have a few vans in our yard with the strobe lights on the top and on the stop sign,they look very cool but still some drivers dont know the difference cause they keep passing the bus with the red lights on.

My IC CE has the strobbing LED warning lights, they seem to be much brighter, durable, and better at grabbing people's attention. But those ol' incadescent ones just make the bus have that nice old feeling.

Nice way to compare them though. Much easier that way.
