Good Beginer Light - Not Professional Grade!
This is an OK light due to the price. For what you are paying you would expect much more. Its not very bright but workable. My problem with the light is it blows its own fuses constantly and only had it 2 months and already replacing bulbs. I my profession it is not popular; the moving parts don't hold up to the vibrations, blows fuses and bulbs easily.
The advantage is dual lights so I can at least keep going when a bulb burns out and when a fuse pops it is located in the power plug. The magnets are the best I have seen; even with its high profile it doesn't move at all at high speeds.
If your using it on the highway and can't stop to replace parts I would highly seggest LED for only a few dollars more for the dependability and brighter lights.
With my line of work I will not buy this again but in lighter duty applications it would probably do fine

Outstanding Warning Light
Prior to purchasing the Guardian,I did alot of research to find the best light for the best price for what I needed,and after seeing the light on several of our Airport vehicles the decision was easy.I feel this light surpasses any light it's size either revolving or strobe,and even some full size lightbars as to the light output and visibility in all weather conditions. My Ham radio club does event communications and course monitoring for numerous charity bicycle rides,some of theses are 100 mile events with several thousand riders,and our course vehicles need warning lights that get the attention of motorists.and this light does the job .An additional feature I like, that alot of lighter plug models don't have,is the on/off switch in in the lighter plug,so you don't have to plug it in every time to turn it on,just leave it plugged it and hit the switch . The 4- 50 lb magnets seem to hold very rather well,but I replaced them with 4-90 lb for that extra hold at highway speeds. You'll be hard pressed to find a better mini lightbar anywhere.

Lots of flash
This mini lightbar provides a ton of flash for not a whole lot of cash. There are plenty of full size lightbars which do not provide the same flash rate for more than double the price of this light and they won't fit in the trunk either. For instance, the full size Federal Signal Street Hawk has a flash rate of less than 600 flashes per minute. This little gem is sure to be noticed with it's 700 flashes per minute!

Wlelen Light Bar
Great product for the price. Works as advertised. We use the light bar on our vehicles in Las Vegas, NV where the sun is usually very strong. Light bar can be seem with no problem. Easy to install with magnets. Due to a lot of highway driving we decided to do a perminant mount which was also easy. Highly recommend this product.

Professional
I use this light on top of my skid steer loader when doing snow removal. A few weeks back we had a heavy snow shower after dark where visability was a factor, I was told I could be seen about 1/2 mile away in those conditions. I plan on purchasing another for my Truck.

light bar
This is a great light, can be seen easily. Some light bars do not attract your attention --- this one does a great job. As we do not have one truck that would be on the job site needing a flashing light, we did not want a permanent mounted light. This light enables us to move it from truck to truck easily.

Nice light
This is a great light i have 2 on my back rack one on each side and it puts out some nice warning power. I think it is even brighter than the new led bars in daylight for 1/4th the cost . This mini bar can be had much cheerer else ware though.

I HAVE INSTALLED THIS LIGHT BAR ON OUR PLOW TRUCK AND HAVE TRUCKERS COMMENT THAT THEY CAN SEE ME FOR HUNDREDS OF FEET. IT IS EASY TO INSTALL AND EXTREMLY BRIGHT. WELL WORTH THE MONEY. WE HAVE BOUGHT ONE FOR OUR OTHER LOCATIONS.
