When the job demands attention—on the road, on the jobsite, or at the scene—our LED emergency strobe lights deliver the brightness, durability, and compliance you need to be seen. Black Oak's XDR Series strobes pack high-output LEDs into a slim, low-profile housing that mounts almost anywhere—grilles, bumpers, headache racks, light bars, ROPS, or surface mounts on trailers and heavy equipment. From volunteer firefighter response vehicles and tow trucks to county fleets, public works trucks, snowplows, and landscaping rigs, every XDR strobe is built to be seen day or night and rated to keep working long after the storm ends. Every unit is SAE J595 approved, IP69K waterproof, and backed by Black Oak's limited lifetime warranty.
Featured Models
XDR-5 Emergency Strobe Light — Our flagship 5-inch surface-mount strobe puts six high-output LEDs behind a 120° wide-angle lens, with 13 selectable flash patterns plus a steady-on scene mode. It's the right pick when you need maximum visibility from a single light head and a clean install on flat surfaces.
XDR-4 Emergency Strobe Light — A more compact 4-inch version of the XDR-5 built for spots where mounting real estate is at a premium. Same wiring, same patterns, same waterproof seal—just sized to slip into grilles, mirror brackets, ROPS posts, and tight tailgate locations.
Both lights are available in single-color (Amber, Blue, Red) and dual-color combinations (Amber/White, Blue/White, Red/Blue) so you can match your jurisdiction's signaling requirements or fleet warning convention.

Built for Every Vehicle That Has to Be Seen
Emergency Response — Volunteer firefighters, EMS, search-and-rescue, and security teams use XDR strobes as primary or supplemental warning lights when a full light bar isn't required.
Tow Trucks & Wreckers — Amber strobes mounted to grilles, headache racks, and rear bumpers cut through highway traffic on roadside recoveries.
County, Municipal & Public Works — Snowplows, street sweepers, line-painting trucks, sign trucks, and supervisor pickups need amber warning lights that survive every season.
Construction & Heavy Equipment — Skid steers, loaders, haul trucks, and dump trucks meet jobsite safety rules with surface-mount strobes that stand up to vibration and pressure washing.
Landscaping & Lawn Care — Mowers, mulch trucks, irrigation rigs, and tree-service trucks roll safer on busy roads with a flashing amber LED strobe.
Pilot Cars & Escort Vehicles — Bright, daylight-visible warning patterns help oversize-load operators stay legal, visible, and safe.
Off-Road & Agricultural — Tractors, UTVs, and ATVs working near roadways or active job sites benefit from the same durable, weather-sealed construction.
Choosing Your Color
•     Amber — the universal "caution" color for utility, construction, tow, public works, landscaping, and pilot vehicles. Legal on most non-emergency vehicles.
•     Blue — typically reserved for law enforcement and, in some states, volunteer firefighters. Always check local statutes.
•     Red — fire, EMS, and rear-facing emergency warning. Most states restrict forward-facing red to authorized emergency vehicles.
•     Dual-Color (Amber/White, Blue/White, Red/Blue) — adds a second function such as scene / take-down lighting or extra daytime contrast.
Always confirm warning-light color and flash-pattern requirements with your state DOT and the local authority having jurisdiction before installing.
Mounting & Installation
Each XDR strobe ships with vibration-dampening foam, M4 mounting hardware, and a 12-inch pigtail lead with an open-end connector—wire it straight into a switched 12V circuit, a strobe controller, or a dedicated emergency switch panel. Optional 90-degree brackets are available when you need to mount to a vertical surface or push the light off the body line. Multiple XDR strobes can be wired together to sync flash patterns across the vehicle for a clean, professional warning package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these strobes legal on my vehicle?
A: Black Oak XDR strobes are SAE J595 Class 1 compliant, but legal use depends on your state and vehicle type. Amber is broadly permitted for warning use; blue and red are typically restricted to authorized emergency vehicles. Check your state DMV/DOT statutes before installing.
Q: Can I sync multiple strobes together?
A: Yes. When wired to a common controller or daisy-chained through the supplied leads, multiple XDR units flash in unison or alternate in matched patterns.
Q: What's the difference between the XDR-4 and XDR-5?
A: The XDR-5 is a 5-inch head with a wider lens for maximum output; the XDR-4 is a 4-inch head built for tighter mounting locations. Both share the same LED platform, IP69K rating, voltage range, and flash patterns.
Q: Will these survive a pressure-washer?
A: Yes. The IP69K rating means they're sealed against high-pressure, high-temperature water spray—the toughest waterproof rating in the industry.
Q: Do they work on 24V trucks?
A: Yes. The 10–30V DC operating range covers virtually every car, truck, marine, and heavy-equipment electrical system.
Q: What's covered under the warranty?
A: Black Oak backs every XDR strobe with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee.
