LED Beacon?

Can anyone recommend a good quality LED Amber magnetic mount beacon to go on the back of my sprayer?
Not worried about having a trillion different flashing sequences but it does need to be comparable in brightness to a halogen rotary beacon.
I've seen some really hopeless LED ones in the past just hoping that recent ones are now better.

Best I have found is to make your own. Get an adjustable timed flashing relay, get a nice led spot lamp, get an orange filter. Aim it correct and you will see it from miles away. I am yet to see a decent flashing LED beacon that can be seen in the sunlight well

Arrived today, good flexi base and are very bright did Comparison with std beacon vs these and would say they are just as good if not brighter on highest setting.

Would they "stick" well enough and show well enough if placed flat on a piece of flat on my quad bike pole?
Magnets are really strong. If you had a decent sized base to stick it on I'd think it would hold. Mine goes on side of plough and has never moved. Don't get 1 in link don't think its rechargeable.

Are they red or orange lights?

Going to replace this which was hard wired but not bright enough
