Default Beacons/Mars light whatever you call them...

Hey guys bought anything from this company or used these lights? http://www.pistenking.com/02c69f9be3...be90c7c446.php

and what about the stahl ones that PMD carries?

Thanks
Jordan

I do not see the ones you say PMD has. I have also looked at these but they do not ship to U.S.A.

I used the pistenking rotating beacons in my tracked loader and Scania and Mercedes trucks
here is a video of the tracked loader being tested on the kitchen floor with the beacon working

Claus Sorry i don't think Ric has them on the site yet. He sent me an email with the ones he offers.

Brel Yes the pistenking are the ones i like, did you buy them directly from there website? I'm assuming they speak English if you did. If i converted it correctly they cost about $54. Which i believe its un-fair.

yes I did. I had no problems once I got them to take a paypal payment
they are a bit expensive but are well worth the money
they are very easy to connect just a red and a black wire, the ones on the trucks are wired via a pico switch on the fifth channel to turn them on and off whilst the one on the loader is hard wired into the main switch so that I know if the machine is turned on

Hi Jordan, as far as I'm concerned the pistenking beacons are the best and the old saying if you want a good product you have to pay a little extra and it is defiantly true with there lights, there are 10 different light sequences,3 different scales 1:8/1:12/1:16, 2 different mounting types,colours, and shapes, and the best thing is the circuit board is enclosed within the beacon so it can be placed on any model or any where.....
I have them on my rig and on the weekend they were running for about 5 hours straight no problems, here is the test video when I was setting mine up http://s905.photobucket.com/albums/a...t=0821412b.mp4 and there are some good night shots in my build thread....

Cheers Tracy
