I beg to differ. Good strobe beacons are better than rotating lights anytime. LEDs are directional, but only if you build them that way. Stick them in a Vector lightbar and they have an awesome 360 degree vision. There are single beacon LED Lights out there, but I've never seen them in action, so I ...

I will start getting my choccie stocks up - I got accepted for SJA, starting my degree next semester. Woo Hoo!

Apears to be the New type Falcon [Headlights are awesome] Nice to see that the Police actually get some adequate funding for new cars. Great to see grille lights introduced, as the lightbars on Paddy wagons always tend to be pretty high (to hight to see in the rear view mirror when it's behind you)...

OK, settle down now. Back to topic PLEASE!

Ah, a fave topic of mine. Emergency vehicles get in to dangerous situations, and need to me instantly recognizable as such to the members of public (in any sitation/weather). Due to some great technology that is currently available, notabley LED and good reflective stickers, it's pretty easy to kit ...

Eeeeasy there people! Didn't want to start a brawl, only stating my opinion. Though I do like the discussion (fact based).

Too ealry in the mrngin, but I should start up a new thread where this can be discussed more in depth.

Cheer up young lass!

No no no, I don't care about overseas people (well I do, but not for this problem anyway). Ultimately I would want Emergency vehicles to stick out like dogs balls: hi-vis and no mistake whatsoever.

All Taxi's have green and silver chequers on them. I can't recall ever confusing the two here in Melbourne...

Dude, open your eyes! ;-) No, seriously: your standard, run of the mill copcar is a white falcon or a commodore, has a bar on the roof, some reflective stuff on the side and drives around.

th grille lights: are they halogen or strobe or LED? Flashpattern? Brightness?

One thing for sure: they're buttUgly!

Yum. All it needs is some BIG BRIGHT red or yellow stripes (t distinguish it from a taxi) and this car is fit for heaven

Vic one has more LEDs, WA one has funny white corner Lights (are they pursuit or alley/takedown lights)?

As for the Lightbar, VIC wins (was grilleflashers too - yummy). As for the rest - It's pretty even in my eyes.
