Blinker Lights with Brush Guards

[charlessenf]

I can see that. Got several red flashing solar LED lights “predator eyes” to keep the coyotes out of front yard and woods while wife walks the dog at night. They do work. Deer and turkey don’t seem to care but they don’t move much at night. One theory is they relate the red flashing to fire?

Interesting study: Hunter or prey? The eyes are the key

No, dogs cannot see red. Dogs have dichromatic vision, which means they can see shades of blue and yellow, but not red or green. This is similar to how people with red-green color blindness see the world.

"keep the coyotes out... while wife walks the dog ..."

"No, dogs cannot see red."

I dare say SMOKEYDOG (nor his wife) never so much as intimated their dog even noticed the flashing LED's

He certainly never stated nor implied their dog saw red in the day or night!

SARG, you need research coyotes' vision - that 'fun fact' might prove pertinent. e.g. "Dogs see red as brown and green as shades of yellow." So, in point of fact, at night, your puppy will see brown 'Predator Eyes" flashing, right?

Saving you a bit of effort, I found "Coyotes have protanopia dichromacy, which means they have a limited color spectrum and are color blind . . ."

Something a hunter might know?

One aspect these sorts of 'arguments' ignore is that fact the DARKNESS is certainly kin to an ABSENCE OF LIGHT.

These devices take advantage of that fact and only 'flash' their (what most sapiens* see as red) lights after dark.

So, the question is not necessarily about the color (wavelength, actually) of the diodes as much as the (relative to darkness) intensity of their illumination - the contrast, if you will. And, likely the rate of the flashing combined with the simply 'unnatural phenomenon' these devices present to prey and predator alike.

e.g. Something lit up over there a bright, intense speck of (any color) light(s) seen 'out of the corner of (any creature's) eye' in an otherwise still evening on SmokeyDog's Farm.

Now, one need pay close attention to Googol (et al) AI responses because A.I. is in it's infancy. It can recognize a Daddy figure on sight, perhaps, but has yet to understand how one** is supposed to act. So, best to do a deeper dive and, a the very least, look at page two of the results before placing your bet(s).



* Sapiens translates to wise. So **** Sapiens are the wise sapiens. Who came up with that name for us? Why, we did!

** A 'daddy figure' that is.

I bought a cheap ring roller and made my own hoops. but I have a welder and some basic fabricating skills... the roller worked suprisingly well for 100$ CAD tool. but it took some disassembly, clean up and greasing before use to make that happen.

How about a link? "I bought a cheap ring roller and made my own hoops."
What did you use for the hoops? Thickness/gauge? Width? Cold Rolled?

I bought a New Holland TC21 from my neighbor. The warning lights set to the outside of the ROPS. They are both broken off. I have been trying to find replacement 2 sided amber lights that have a guard to protect the lights. I have found a few guards but they are simply pipe around the lights. I was hoping to find pipes that are wide enough to cover the lights and have a screen to protect the lens.

Any ideas ?

I use my tractor as a skidder and go into dense woods.
I first mounted illumination type lights on the inside of the rops but didn’t like the spread or me being in the way of the light throw.
I mounted the lights back close to the fender on the outside of the rops but arranged the mounting bracket vertically.
This way when the lights are struck by brush, they simply give and hinge back.
When l need the lights, I just push them back straight.

I had to take it apart and clean the swarf behind the grease zerks. I used 1 1/4 wide 1/8 thick strap that I had left over. not sure if it was hot or cold rolled.

If I count my time it would have been cheaper to buy a pair of guards from Paul shorts of specialty repairs but I got a new tool out of it and I enjoy puttering.

thats 65$ USD for you guys until the tariffs come into effect.

Just to be clear this is not a canadian product this is cheap chinese crap that worked long enough for me to make the two hoops and I don't see why I wouldn't be able to make several more. If I had a fabrication shop and had a bunch to make I wouldn't have bought this tool but it worked for me.
