Hi all,
I have begun to start the process of mounting some lights to my ROPS so I will able to see behind me next winter when snowblowing instead of relying on the hazard lights. I cut and drilled some angle iron yesterday and have most of the hardware to mount them. I think I know what lights I’m gonna get - diode dynamics ss3 or ss2.
i apologize if this has already been asked but I have been looking on the forum and haven’t been able to find an answer, is there a weatherproof switch that is recommended? Most of the setups I’ve seen have cabs so the switches used in those probably wouldn’t be a good idea with my setup being exposed to snow and ice. My current thought is to buy a small sealed plastic box and put the switch in there with just the top exposed or just have it inside the box and have to open it to turn them on and off. Then seal the wire entrance into the box with silicone. When I go to look online for weatherproof switches it just gives me regular automotive style switches with the rubber sides, but I don’t know how that would last even with a homemade enclosure.
