TEXT: Gentlemen:

We are just finishing our first winter with your heated lens on the flashing hazard lights on one of our buses.

The snow that accumulates on these lights has always posed a problem that required our drivers to stop the bus and clean them off periodically during adverse conditions.

The use of your heated lens has alleviated this problem and we will definitely be replacing the regular lens, with yours, on our entire fleet.

Sincerely,
