HSE Ambulance Lights Query

searescue · 2011-02-04 18:48:02

Hi Lads, Just noticed in the last few months when I see the HSE Merc's on a call that they don't use the front facing white LED's in their lightbar. I've only noticed this is Cork & Kerry but they always used to use them but, like I say, haven't seen them used in a long time. Just wanted to know if there was any reason…

Hi Lads,

Just wanted to know if there was any reason behind this.

If the headlights are on, the white LEDs are automatically cancelled out simple

Maybe the vehicle was stopped and the lights were set to "On Scene"

Maybe they weren't working and had only been reported for repair 3 months ago !!!!!
