FireFighter POV LED lights

2008 GMC Sierra with STL Quad Elite and STL Grille Pro all green. I work in a courtesy light state so Green is the law for volunteer Fire and EMS. My lights are wired into 1 control unit that speed tech lights provides with the Grille Pro. Very easy install and very bright. Check my other videos for day and night shots.

Green ? .. That's wired that you can't use red..

[medmark]

@David4946 I could have used red but there are certain certification requirements such as 360 degree lighting, siren, radio, registered with the state, take a class to get certified to drive while using such equipment. The courtesy law makes it so all you need is a permit and a green light.

---------------JUST TO CLARIFY--------------

Our Engines, Ambulances, Command Vehicles use Red/White/Amber combinations

Why green? I have red and white. I dont know if its a difference in states or what

[bradfirec71]

@lb611 my bad, apparently police use solid blue lighting in the state vollie fire use red and white?

[medmark]

@bradfirec71 It depends on the state.

[medmark]

@lb611 Washington State has a courtesy light law. All you need is a permit to have Green lights. With Green you must still obey all the traffic laws and the green only requests that a driver yield or pull over. To equip your vehicle with red/blue/white emergency lighting you have to get your vehicle certified with the state and it is expensive. You must have a full compliment of radio, siren, 360 degree lighting, etc... The green LED's worked great for me!

@ylen13 I would pass you in a passing zone so there

Emergency vehicle lighting laws are so inconsistently stupid in the US. Green for POVs in one state, red or blue for others, some allow a mix, some states allow siren use, some don't, some make it a requirement to run them constantly, some only allow one light, others allow wig-wags and other lights, some allow a combination of lights.... I could go on... and that's only for POVs, I could rant about police, fire and ambulance lighting too! A lot of European countries have blue for everything :P

Green is used because its a color that can bee seen through smoke
