Maybe tell them how tower lights are white strobes during the day but are 
required to change to lower intensity red at night.

Yup. Often approaching an accident all I can see are the cop car lights. Can’t 
see the cop directing traffic or literally anything going on. 

 

Extremely unsafe. 

 

The problem is they have no intensity setting. It’s day mode all the time!!!!

crazy dangerous. The worst are the snowplows. it used to be in bad snowstorms 
was a godsend to get behind a plow where you could follow their lights. now you 
will die because youre blinded if youre within a mile of it. There is no 
additional "safety" for emergency services ove the prior existing lights that 
actually had science behind the color, cadence and brightness,

I agree. 
I brought this up at a fire department meeting and they acted as if I had 
proposed removing all lights.

I was just pointing out that at some point, it becomes dangerous to bystanders.

Am I the only one who thinks that the new LED's that all the emergency vehicles 
have now are dangerous?  I was about 1/2 mile behind an ambulance and the 
flashing LED's were so bright in front of me that I could barely make out the 
traffic light I was stopped at.  And why does the ambulance need to have 
approximately 200,000 LED Fixtures on it?  I get it, I see you, I can't not see 
you, now I can't see anything else.  
They saw an open piece of sheet metal and were like, 'We could put another 
strobe there'  It's even worse when there are multiple vehicles together at an 
accident scene.  I understand having them bright during the day, but they are 
just blinding at night.  It's like they need to have a day/night mode. Who do I 
write a strongly worded letter to expressing my displeasure?
