Frequently Asked Questions
What manufacturers do you install?
We install safety and work lighting from Whelen and Ecco, and power inverters from Xantrex. All three are proven standards in emergency, utility, and commercial fleets.
Are your lighting solutions compliant with Minnesota DOT regulations?
Yes. We only install lighting and strobe systems that meet or exceed state and federal standards for visibility and safety, including SAE certification classes required for road work.
Can lighting and power systems be customized for different fleet vehicles?
Yes. We design solutions for vans, pickups, service bodies, and heavy-duty trucks. Each installation is tailored to the vehicle and trade requirements.
What color warning lights am I allowed to run?
Light color rules vary by vehicle use and state law. Amber is standard for work and utility vehicles in Minnesota. We will configure a compliant setup for your fleet’s role.
What size power inverter do I need?
It depends on the tools you run. Charging batteries and laptops may only need 1,000 watts, while power tools and compressors can require 2,000 watts or more. We size Xantrex inverters to your real loads.
What is a pure sine wave inverter, and do I need one?
Pure sine wave inverters deliver the same quality of power as a wall outlet, which protects sensitive electronics like laptops, diagnostic tools, and battery chargers. For most fleets we recommend them.
Will added lighting and power drain my vehicle battery?
No. We wire systems with proper circuit protection and can add battery management, low-voltage cutoffs, or auxiliary batteries so your crew never gets stranded.
Does installation affect my factory wiring or warranty?
Our certified installers integrate equipment to manufacturer standards using proper harnesses and protected circuits, keeping your factory electrical system intact.
Can you standardize lighting packages across an entire fleet?
Yes. We build repeatable lighting and power packages so every vehicle in your fleet is equipped and documented the same way.
Do you offer on-site installation?
Yes. For larger fleets, we offer on-site installation services anywhere in Minnesota.
