I use this for snowplowing. It is way brighter than most other flashing leds and single rotating beacon lights. It has a long cord with switch built in to the plug. The only downside is that it is quite loud. It is to be expected as it has 2 motors rotating around but just be warned it does make noise. The noise serves as a reminder its on when you finish a driveway and pull out on to the road and in case you don't look down at the plug and see the little green led indicator light you will hear it and remember to shut it off.
