Lights on a moving vehicle

[Charles Levien]

Richard.

My understanding of the lighting regs is that pre a certain date the wattage requirements does not apply.

On my 1915 traction engine provided I display two 'white' lights to the front, two reds to the rear I am 100% legal. Even whe  they are provided by paraffin wick lampa

I'm certainly with Hedd Jones understanding re low wattage and the advantages of LED are impressive -- easier to be seen, drive with full lights on on dull days, keep your six volt Dynamo for originality and give it a holiday by reducing output.
Not sure, however, about flashing lights on back of car unless you're part of a Christmas parade ( sorry Nick) especially a flashing triangle which could attract the wrong sort of attention.
I'll stick with my modest reflective triangle despite the letter of the law and in six years of motoring since I fitted it, in uk and abroad, the Opal has never been stopped for this reason.
