The Grote doesn't look that impressive from a picture - but I'm sure it's bright. I don't really need anything during the daylight, just at night when I'm near / in the road. My cheapo Rural King light isn't bad. The alternating patterns probably make it look like an "official" vehicle from a distance and I've noticed that the cars have slowed WAY down now. I guess they don't want to buzz by a salt truck or wrecker, but don't have a problem if it's a snowmobile or my tractor.

I feel a little more comfortable now with the strobe, but I figured I would take another look. If it looks like they are coming up fast, I'll flash my LED floods at them to at least get their attention.

that's one thing I like about the LED strobes. many can have a dazzle or semi rotating pattern as well as blinking. Same with the new bicycle lights you see. Designed to draw attention.

Bingo. That's what my Rural King special does. It catches your eye a lot quicker than a simple strobe.

The Gotes we use have very bright flash, immediately followed by a dimmer one, then a time cycle. I believe they do this to catch peoples attention and it does work.

These are what I used last time. Clear lenses so they don't look gaudy when not in use. Easily programmable by pushing a button.

Extremely visible even in bright daylight conditions.

I have a Grote 360 degree LED strobe. It has 16 flash patterns and cost me about 500$ at Fort Garry Industries in Thunder Bay.
It can be seen good in both daylight and dark.
