Point taken though. I got the Nova Bull because it was relatively cheap and I'd had my eye on them for years.
I would really like something with a 4 watt amber driver with a good flash mode. heck, there's no reason I can't make it myself, it's just a microcontroller. I'll have to pick up some drivers and start playing around.
I took a look at the Nova Bull on their website. Looks like a nice set-up. The only problem is that it would take some special mounting and wiring to get it to work, not to mention a special battery. Still, quite do-able.
DiNotte still sells amber light sets. Their brightest is a
800 lumen version. Supposedly it is using the XML3 light body but is using a quad amber LED set-up. Knowing DiNotte it should come with one of their standard 3-mode flashing menus. They used to offer the 400R in Amber as well although when I last checked I didn't see it on their website. That doesn't mean they don't still sell it though. You should still be able to buy these lamps separately although to do that you need to e-mail them to ask on availability and price. DiNotte is known for coming through on special orders...or they used to be known as such.
