Buying a warning light when one fails is easy.

Buying warning lights one at a time, from different suppliers, in different models, at full retail pricing every time a truck needs one is where fleet management starts getting unnecessarily expensive.

That is why Strobe My Ride introduced Fleet Bulk Pricing for select SAE Class 1 LED warning lights.

The program is designed for Canadian commercial fleets, towing companies, contractors, municipalities, utilities, road-maintenance operations, snow-removal companies and other organizations that would rather stock standardized replacement lighting in their own shop than scramble for individual lights every time equipment is added, damaged or taken out of service.

The concept is straightforward:

Buy in manufacturer-friendly quantities. Pay a lower cost per light. Standardize the fleet. Keep replacements on the shelf.

Why Fleet Warning Lights Should Be Treated Like Inventory

Most established fleets already do this with common maintenance items.

Filters. Fluids. Tires. Electrical components. Common lamps. Hardware.

Warning lighting should be no different.

If your operation uses the same style of surface mount, beacon, mini bar or hideaway across dozens of vehicles, keeping replacement units in inventory can eliminate a surprisingly common problem:

A $50 or $100 light fails, but the vehicle ends up waiting because nobody has the correct replacement.

That creates:

• unnecessary vehicle downtime
• rushed purchasing decisions
• inconsistent installations
• multiple brands and wiring configurations across the fleet
• technicians wasting time determining what was previously installed
• repeated freight charges
• full retail purchasing instead of volume purchasing

For a company operating 50, 100 or 500 vehicles, those inefficiencies add up.

Fleet standardization is not just about getting a better price on the light. It is about creating a repeatable equipment standard.

What Is Strobe My Ride Fleet Bulk Pricing?

Fleet Bulk Pricing allows organizations to pre-purchase select Strobe My Ride warning lights in larger quantities at substantially reduced per-unit pricing.

Rather than buying one or two units from normal stocked inventory, a fleet purchases a predefined bulk pack.

The order is then placed with the manufacturer specifically for that customer.

Typical lead time is approximately 30 days, depending on production schedules, international transportation, customs clearance and destination.

There is:

• no annual purchasing commitment
• no dealer account required
• no requirement to become a reseller
• no complicated rebate structure

It is simply a way for commercial end users to purchase professional fleet lighting in meaningful quantities.

Current Fleet Bulk Warning Lights

Our initial Fleet Bulk program focuses on products fleets consume repeatedly: mini bars, beacons, surface mounts and hideaways.

Fleet Bar Mini — SAE J845 Class 1

The Fleet Bar Mini is designed for portable roof-mounted warning visibility on fleet, roadside, maintenance and service vehicles.

Available Fleet Bulk configurations include:

• Amber
• Amber / White
• Amber / Blue

Features include:

• SAE J845 Class 1 certification
• 12–24V DC operation
• IP66 protection
• heavy-duty magnetic mounting
• 12V plug with power and flash-pattern control
• permanent-mount / hardwire capability
• ECE R65 certification
• ECE R10 certification

Fleet Bulk quantity: 24 units

This is particularly useful for operations that frequently move warning equipment between pickups, service trucks and temporary fleet vehicles.

Fleet Beacon Pro — SAE J845 Class 1

The Fleet Beacon Pro is our heavy-output amber beacon option for commercial equipment and fleet applications requiring 360-degree warning visibility.

Key specifications include:

• SAE J845 Class 1
• 24 × 3W LEDs
• 72W total output
• 8 selectable flash patterns
• 12–48V DC
• IP66
• aluminum mounting base
• single-bolt or three-bolt mounting
• approximately 5.0 × 6.0-inch cover
• approximately 6.7-inch overall height
• -30°C to +50°C operating range

Fleet Bulk quantity: 20 units

The wider 12–48V operating range also makes it particularly useful for fleets containing different equipment platforms rather than only conventional 12V trucks.

Fleet SM Compact — SAE J595 Class 1

Not every vehicle needs a large lighthead.

The Fleet SM Compact gives fleets a small, straightforward amber surface-mount warning light that can be standardized across bumpers, grilles, bodies and equipment.

Despite its small size, it carries a strong specification package:

• SAE J595 Class 1
• 3 × 3W LEDs
• 9W total
• 16 flash patterns
• synchronization capability
• alternation capability
• pattern memory
• 12–24V DC
• IP6K9K
• ECE R65
• ECE R10
• compact approximately 3.1 × 1.2 × 0.5-inch footprint

Fleet Bulk quantity: 50 units

For larger fleets, a compact three-LED Class 1 light can be one of the easiest warning-light components to standardize across multiple vehicle classes.

---

Fleet SM Stealth — SAE J595 Class 1

For fleets wanting significantly more surface-mount output, the Fleet SM Stealth uses a smoked lens and heavy-duty aluminum housing.

Available configurations include:

• Amber / White
• Amber / Blue

Specifications include:

• SAE J595 Class 1
• 24 high-output LEDs
• 12 LEDs per colour
• 3W LEDs
• 8 flash patterns
• memory
• synchronization and alternation
• 12–24V DC
• IP69K
• aluminum housing

Fleet Bulk quantity: 50 units

The duo-colour configuration also allows fleets to use one standardized physical lighthead while selecting a colour configuration appropriate to the intended application.

---

Fleet Hide — SAE J595 Class 1

The Fleet Hide is intended for operators that need a compact hideaway-style warning light without giving up Class 1 performance.

Available Fleet Bulk configurations include:

• Amber / White
• Amber / Blue
• Green / White

Features include:

• SAE J595 Class 1
• 8 LEDs
• 4 LEDs per colour
• 5W LEDs
• 2,879 lux output
• 12 flash patterns
• synchronization
• alternation
• pattern memory
• 12–24V DC
• IP69K
• surface-mount bracket included
• flush-mount grommet included
• compact 1-inch design

Fleet Bulk quantity: 50 units

For organizations operating numerous similar trucks, stocking the same hideaway and mounting hardware can dramatically simplify replacement work.

Why SAE Class 1 Matters

Not every warning light marketed online is built to the same performance standard.

That distinction becomes increasingly important when warning lights are being installed on commercial vehicles operating around traffic, construction zones, roadside incidents or other high-risk environments.

SAE J595 applies to directional flashing optical warning devices.

SAE J845 applies to 360-degree warning lamps such as many beacons and mini bars.

Class 1 represents a defined level of photometric warning performance under the applicable SAE standard.

Requirements can vary by province, vehicle type and application, so purchasing a Class 1 product does not automatically make every installation legal everywhere in Canada.

However, for fleet managers working in jurisdictions or applications where SAE performance is specified, being able to document exactly what product was installed is substantially better than relying on an unidentified marketplace light with no verifiable performance standard.

Standardization Can Matter More Than the Initial Discount

Suppose an operation has 75 trucks.

Over several years, different installers purchase whatever happens to be available.

Eventually the fleet contains:

• six different surface mounts
• three styles of hideaway
• several beacon models
• different flash controllers
• different mounting footprints
• different wiring conventions

Every replacement becomes a small investigation.

Now compare that with a fleet that specifies:

This is our surface mount.
This is our hideaway.
This is our beacon.
This is our mini bar.

Technicians know what they are dealing with.

Purchasing knows what to order.

Replacement inventory already exists.

New trucks can be built to the same standard.

That is the operational value behind Fleet Bulk Pricing.

Who Is Fleet Bulk Pricing For?

It makes the most sense for organizations that maintain multiple vehicles or pieces of equipment, particularly:

• towing and roadside-assistance companies
• road builders and civil contractors
• municipal and public-works fleets
• utility contractors
• telecommunications fleets
• snow-removal companies
• equipment-rental businesses
• traffic-control companies
• landscape and property-maintenance fleets
• waste and recycling operations
• heavy-equipment operators
• fleet maintenance and upfitting facilities

You do not need thousands of vehicles.

A company operating 25 or 50 vehicles with an internal maintenance shop can often benefit more from standardized inventory than a much larger fleet where every vehicle is outsourced.

Why Buy Through a Canadian Warning-Light Supplier?

A low purchase price means very little if nobody can answer questions after the product arrives.

Strobe My Ride is based in Ottawa and supplies warning lighting to commercial fleets and professional operators across Canada.

Our approach to fleet lighting comes from a fleet-safety and commercial-vehicle compliance perspective, not simply from importing lights and putting them online.

That means we care about questions such as:

• What standard does the product actually meet?
• Is that certification relevant to the intended application?
• How will the fleet standardize replacements?
• Can technicians install the same product repeatedly?
• What happens when the operation needs another 50?
• Is there Canadian warranty and product support?

Those questions matter considerably more to a fleet manager than having another flashy product page.

How Fleet Bulk Ordering Works

The process is intentionally simple.

1. Choose the product

Select the warning light and colour configuration your fleet wants to standardize.

2. Select the Fleet Bulk pack

Each product has a predetermined fleet quantity based partly on practical manufacturer packaging and production quantities.

3. Prepay the order

Fleet Bulk products are prepaid special orders.

4. Strobe My Ride places the factory order

We coordinate production, international freight and importation into Canada.

5. Receive your fleet inventory

Estimated lead time is approximately 30 days.

Standard shipping is included to most Canadian commercial addresses. Remote, northern, residential, oversized or special-delivery destinations may require additional freight.

For organizations requiring quantities beyond the published Fleet Bulk packs, Contract Fleet Pricing is also available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a dealer to receive Fleet Bulk Pricing?

No. Fleet Bulk Pricing is specifically designed for commercial end-user fleets and organizations that want to purchase larger quantities for their own operations.

Are Fleet Bulk products stocked in Ottawa?

No. Fleet Bulk orders are produced and imported specifically for the purchasing organization rather than fulfilled from normal Ottawa inventory.

How long does a Fleet Bulk order take?

Our estimated lead time is approximately 30 days, although factory production, transportation, customs and destination can affect delivery time.

Can we purchase more than the listed bulk quantity?

Yes. Larger organizations can contact Strobe My Ride for Contract Fleet Pricing.

Are the warning lights SAE Class 1 certified?

The Fleet Bulk products identified as SAE Class 1 meet the specific SAE standard stated on their product listing, including SAE J595 or SAE J845 depending on the product type.

Always verify the applicable lighting regulations for your province, vehicle and operating role.

Can we standardize one product across our entire fleet?

Often, yes.

That is one of the main reasons the program exists. The correct configuration depends on vehicle type, mounting location, warning-light requirements and applicable regulations.

Build a Fleet Lighting Standard Instead of Buying Lights One at a Time

The lowest-cost maintenance problem is often the one you planned for before it happened.

Warning lights get damaged.

Vehicles get added.

Trucks get transferred.

Equipment gets replaced.

The question is whether each event triggers another emergency purchase — or whether your maintenance department already has the standardized replacement sitting on a shelf.

Fleet Bulk Pricing is designed to make the second option easier.
