Warning and work lighting serves a different purpose than recreational off-road lighting. Whether you're equipping a utility vehicle that needs to be visible on a busy job site, a contractor truck that operates near traffic, or a fleet vehicle that requires emergency identification, the installation needs to be done right — correct wiring, secure mounting, and legally compliant output and flash patterns. We handle the full install at both our Reno and Carson City shops.

Whelen Engineering

Whelen is the dominant name in emergency and warning lighting across North America. Their products are used extensively by law enforcement, fire and rescue, utility companies, and municipal fleets — not because they're the flashiest option, but because they're the most reliable. Whelen's linear and surface-mount LED warning lights are built for continuous duty use and come with the certifications that matter for professional applications. If you're equipping a fleet or a vehicle that needs to meet specific visibility standards, Whelen is where we start.

Rigid Industries

Rigid makes work lights and scene lights that are particularly useful for contractors and service vehicles that need high-output illumination for nighttime work rather than emergency warning. Their Adapt and SR-Series scene lights are popular on utility trucks and emergency support vehicles.

KC HiLiTES

KC's work light lineup works well for contractors who need durable, high-output lighting without the price premium of emergency-rated equipment. Good option for job site visibility applications that don't require certified warning patterns.

Who We Typically Serve

Most of our warning light work falls into a few categories: contractor and construction trucks that need amber warning lights for road work or site proximity, utility fleet vehicles, dealer upfits where warning or work lights are part of a package, and occasionally retail customers building out emergency preparedness or recovery vehicles. We work with fleet managers and dealers directly for volume applications — contact us to discuss fleet pricing.

Nevada Permitting

Nevada law regulates the color, placement, and use of warning lights on public roads. Amber lights are the most broadly permitted for non-emergency civilian use. Red and blue lights are restricted to authorized emergency vehicles. If you're unsure what's legal for your application, we'll help you understand the requirements before installation.

Professional Installation

Warning light installations require correct wiring, appropriate fusing, relay setup, and mounting that won't compromise the vehicle's structure or create electrical issues. For fleet work, we can coordinate multi-vehicle installs. We wire everything properly, test all functions, and document the install for fleet records if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a private contractor legally run amber warning lights in Nevada?

Generally yes — amber warning lights are permitted for vehicles engaged in road work, construction, utility work, and similar activities under Nevada law. Specific rules apply to placement, activation, and when the lights can be in use. We'll walk you through what's applicable to your situation.

Do you work with fleet accounts for multi-vehicle installs?

Yes. We work with fleet managers for contractor companies, dealers, and municipal accounts. Contact us directly to discuss volume needs and scheduling.

Can I add warning lights to a truck that already has auxiliary off-road lighting?

Yes, though it requires planning around existing wiring and switch configurations to avoid conflicts. We'll assess what's already on the truck and design the install accordingly.
