    I was excited, this is the exact scenario I had in mind for it too. On the side of the highway for whatever reason and flip it on for better visibility.

    Was really hoping for a little more Michael Bay action, but glad everyone's alright.

    Have my BD chase bar hooked up to a strobe option as well and it's so handy for roadside emergencies.

    I noticed the lenses on my Baja Designs S1 were bulged and cracked, presumably being melted from the LED. I called them up to get a new set of replacement lenses but he was worried it would just happen again if there's an underlying issue with the board letting the LED get too hot, so I mailed them in to get checked out. He said they'll freshen them up, replace whatever is necessary and get them back out quickly.

    Nice work!

    Having rolled up on a few car fires...it is amazing how quickly the extinguisher seems to empty in those situations!

    Honesty I didn’t even use it! Once I realized she could get out of the car herself I chose to prioritize getting away from the car over everything. Plus it was in the back of my mind how you’ve said nothing short of a 20 lb extinguisher is going to do a lot of good.

    We require more evidence for proof of life. You could be an imposter.

    Hmmm. I have a set I'm about to install. You run them for long periods of time? Hours?

    Yeah, I like to use them for running lights offroad and they'll run for a few hours. I don't think melting of the lens should happen though, as I would consider that normal use. Comparable to using them as scene lights at camp at night.

    Terrorizing the HOA at night by flooding their windows with light is not normal use, Randall.

    Neighbor David? Is that you? Listen, stop complaining when I make noise at a 10am on a Wednesday morning. Your need to sleep until noon every day is what's not normal.
