Caper11, I like the light you have rigged up. I went to napa to get the light and they didn't have anything like that. There looking into it for me but Could you give some more info on the light and how you made it up?

Looks like it would be hard on the rails. Kinda like the guys with short box trucks and a long track sled sitting up on the tail gate.

Has no one ever seen a logging truck before? Next time you see one on the road take a look, their loads stick out way beyond 1.2m and they go through scales and inspections. A red flag during the day and 1 red light at night. Bungee cord 1 of each to the end of your track and it doesn't matter the distance from your tailgate or lights to the end of your track as long as the load is secure and marked.

Loggers got their own set of rules;totally different than the rest of us.

I just run towing lights ( the ones that a tow truck would use ). They plug into my trailer plug and I bungie cord the light onto my track. Extra brake lights and signals with this option Pretty sure I got them at NAPA or crappy tire

I stand corrected. Loggers are totally different. They require 2 light at night and 2 flags during the day if their overhang exceeds 1.5m. My bad.

I ran 2 lights that are tapped into sled deck wiring,that have hooks on them I just hang them on sleds rear bumper,when no sled are on the deck the wires rap up and I have a magnetic holder to hold lights under the deck at the leg of the deck.have had this for approx. 4 tears and have gone through check stops in b.c. with no issue. d

Quick question. Do I need a flag during the day or can I just leave the light ON.

Flag during the daylight, light after dark.

I think if your deck has lights mounted in them than the measurement starts from there.

I used to mount a light till I heard that from a bc deck builder.
I've never been bothered.

deck needs to have brake lights not just clearance/ marker lights

No it doesn't as long as there is a solid light. The biggest difference is if you put 10ft long 2x4 's in a 6ft bed of a truck then yah need a solid light at night or a flag by day.

A 8ft deck with clearance lights at the very back mounted on a 6ft truck bed gives you 2ft of overhang, if a fellow wants to split hairs and over think it than the red light has to be mounted on the snow flap of the sled. I see lots of guys with 6ft decks and a 163 on it, than the law applies.

Like i said I asked a BC sled deck builder the same question at the sled show and thats what he told me, to top it all off his wife was a RCMP member. Makes sence when yah think about it.
