MULTI-FUNCTION LAMPS

The latest additions to Peterson Manufacturing’s patented line of Piranha LED ‘Smart Lamps’ — the warning-light technology that combines strobing LEDs and automatic turn signal override functions in one self-contained lamp — is a  new 10-diode, 4-in. round model. They’re SAE J845 class two compliant and DOT approved.

Said to be an easy and efficient way to retrofit existing vehicles, each self-contained lamp unit has electronic strobe and turn-signal functions built in. It also has digital “synchro wire” technology that keeps lamps in both dual and quad installations perfectly synchronized. No external flasher or control box is required. Peterson calls it a hassle-free solution for refuse, maintenance and service vehicles.

Like all others in the line, the new 10-diode models feature a triple-flash strobe function that can be manually activated or configured for automatic strobing when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. Activating the turn signal automatically overrides the alternating strobe function.

The 10-diode models are available in two series. The 4344 features an AMP-compatible main port plus hardwired Packard hardshell connector for sync-wire connection. The 8344 accepts AMP SuperSeal 1.5 connectors for all functions. Both models fit standard 4-in. mounting grommets, and their 9-32 volt operating range is compatible with 12- and 24-volt systems.
