What type of flashers can we choose?
Two things are worth considering when choosing a flashing ideal for us. One is the way it blinks and the second is the type of flashing. In the latter case, the essential difference is the way in which it is fixed.
There are many solutions to choose from. The most popular of the roof screens are the magnetic flaskers, which can typically be operated with a cigarette lighter connector.
But you can buy a drilling roof, which has a fixed screw fastening and a pipeline DIN -mounted flashing flash, which can be connected to the vehicle's electrical system. In addition to the roofs, you can also buy a so -called light bridge and an additional light signal.
In addition, flashers may differ in the way it blinks. You can choose between flashing, stroboscope-like lights and constantly blinking around the swinging flashing lights. In certain light signals, such as the blue distinctive signal, we also find a flashing that can be selected ourselves. The reason for this is that the standards used in different countries may be different and thus can be used universally.

The UN-EGB (ECE) regulations adopted in Hungary, adopted in Hungary, are decisive.
In the light of these, it is especially important that we would buy flashing for a distinctive or warning signal, only a piece with "E" Let's take it. The so-called "e-sign" guarantees that it can be used on the flashing road traffic.
Nevertheless, the e-designation does not entitle the proper use in itself, it is important that our vehicle and the goal on which the car is used to meet the above mentioned 12/2007. (III. 13.) IRM.
In addition ECE R65 with a certificate must have. This captures the light technical parameters of the device. The R65 mark must also be indicated by the manufacturer in a clear, irreparable manner on the lamp.
Various flashers can also be attached to the roof, dashboard and windshield, depending on what solution we choose.
