Understanding Chapter 8: A practical guide to vehicle lighting.

For fleet operators, vehicle converters, recovery specialists, highway maintenance teams and utility companies, choosing and using the right warning lighting is an important part of keeping vehicles visible and operating safely.

We spoke to Mark Sherriff, Business Development Manager at AES, who brings more than 20 years of experience in the vehicle lighting industry, about some of the key things to consider.

From visibility and when amber lights can be used to R65 flash patterns, synchronisation, secure installation and reliable wiring, there is more to compliant lighting than simply choosing the brightest option.

How long would you trust a Thinwall cable if its tracer colour could disappear?

It might seem like a small detail, but the way the tracer stripe is applied can have a real impact on vehicle wiring. If the tracer wears away, identifying circuits becomes more difficult, making future repairs and fault finding slower and increasing the risk of mistakes.

That's why the difference between an extruded tracer and a painted stripe matters. One is permanently built into the insulation, while the other is only on the surface.

We’ve put together a short blog that explains the difference between extruded and painted tracers, why it matters in automotive applications, and a few simple ways to tell them apart in the workshop.

Is your team still cutting conduit by hand? It could be costing your business more than you realise.

Auto Electrical Supplies offers a custom flexible conduit cutting service, ideal for manufacturers, installers, and production environments where large volumes of conduit are required in consistent lengths. We cut each order to your exact specification, then pack and deliver it ready to use.

By outsourcing the cutting process, you can reduce labour costs, improve efficiency, and free up your team to focus on higher-value tasks, without compromising on consistency or quality.

Contact our sales team today to discuss your conduit cutting requirements.
