Which Small LED lights work the best?

TIR3 from Whelen

or

LED Stars from 911ep

or another brand that I'm overlooking?

Also what is a good flasher for these?

the Sho-me hyperbright LED's are also excellent. I have used them many times with excellent results.

I have used both and clearly prefer the Whelen. The lense optics on the W provide much better angle than the 911ep and I believe they are also a few bucks cheaper (not to mention that no matter what color, cept for clear, is all the same price w/Whelen).

For some of the 911ep models and all the Whelen units, you will not need a flasher as there is an internal one ....
Here is a demo vid: http://www.lshlights.net/video/Whelen/TIR3.HTM

Good luck - let us know what you end up doing...what application would this be for?

The Whelen #500TIR6 is, so far, the ticket for small LEDs with alot of punch. Drawback: they suck at any angle other than about 15 degrees of center, otherwise, they're bright as all hell and are small. I just did an 8 light system on the side of an engine and you can't miss it. Yes....I said Whelen! (of course, there are Tomar RECT series 3x7" LEDs on the front and rear)

I just choked on my dinner.

Jim- You put TIR3 lights on the side of an engine?? Are those in combination with other "normal" light heads you find on an engine, like 600 or 700 series lightheads?

Matt, I think he is referring to the TIR6 heads.

TWL, I know why Jim said something good about whelen, they were just showing on the news they have pigs that now can fly.

I used the TIR6 lights. I DO like two of Whelen's products now (TIR6 and the SA314 speaker).
