If I need more than that I have more lights anyway.
The small yellow road sign is approx 425' from the light.

Thought I'd add a link here for a couple reasons. (1) Apparently some othercpeople like this light too (2) Its different and apparently much better than the dyno version.

I'm actually a little disappointed cause I was really looking for an excuse to buy a dyno!
