What Are the Differences Between Wolo's Hot-Selling LED Warning Light Models?
Updated
The main differences come down to mounting method, size, and price. On Wolo Manufacturing's homepage (wolo-mfg.com), the featured LED warning lights range from $49.99 to $153.99: the 3040MP-A Super Nova ($49.99) is the lowest-priced entry with magnet or permanent mounting, the 3055MPS-A ($69.99) adds a suction-cup option, the 7808M-A Mini ($153.99) is the smallest and most expensive, and the 6000-2 See-Way ($70.99) is a separate style of light. If you want the cheapest flexible-mount option, pick the 3040MP-A; if you need to move the light between vehicles or attach it to glass, the 3055MPS-A's three mounting choices matter more than the $20 difference.
How the Featured Models Compare
| Model | Price | Mounting options | What it suggests about use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7808M-A Mini LED Warning Light | $153.99 | Magnet mount | Small footprint, premium price — likely for tight spaces where size matters more than budget |
| 3040MP-A Super Nova LED Warning Light | $49.99 | Magnet or permanent mount | Lowest-cost way to get a full-size warning light; choose permanent if theft or vibration is a concern |
| 3055MPS-A LED Warning Light | $69.99 | Magnet, permanent, or suction cup | Most flexible mounting; suction cup suits temporary placement on glass |
| 6000-2 Wolo See-Way | $70.99 | Not specified on the homepage | A different product line from the numbered warning lights — check its own page before comparing |
The homepage does not publish brightness, dimensions, or flash-pattern specs for these models, so those differences can't be confirmed from the featured listings alone. The prices above are the listed sale prices shown on the homepage and may change.
Choosing by Mounting Method
Mounting is the clearest deciding factor, because it determines where the light can go and how easily it moves:
- Magnet mount — best when you move the light between vehicles or take it off between uses. All three numbered models offer it.
- Permanent mount — best for a fixed install where you don't want the light removed or knocked loose. Available on the 3040MP-A and 3055MPS-A.
- Suction cup — best for temporary attachment to a windshield or other smooth glass. Only the 3055MPS-A lists this option.
If you're unsure, the 3055MPS-A covers all three methods for $20 more than the 3040MP-A, so you can decide after trying it in place.
Beyond the Warning Lights
Wolo's homepage also features the Model 900 Hideaway Blast 12-volt horn at $99.99, rated at 124 decibels and 510/650 Hz. It's a sound device, not a warning light, so it only belongs in your comparison if you're outfitting a vehicle with both.
Wolo also lists 30-day returns, free shipping, vehicle-specific fit, and professional support as purchase benefits. The homepage doesn't state whether an account or login is required to order, so confirm that at checkout.
A Practical Way to Decide
- Decide whether the light stays on one vehicle (permanent), moves between vehicles (magnet), or attaches to glass temporarily (suction cup).
- Match that to the table above: 3040MP-A for the lowest price with magnet/permanent, 3055MPS-A for all three methods, 7808M-A if a compact size justifies the higher price.
- Open each model's product page to confirm brightness, dimensions, and flash patterns before buying — the homepage doesn't list them.
- Check the return and shipping terms on the same page, since the homepage only summarizes them.
The most common pitfall is choosing on price alone: the cheapest model (3040MP-A) lacks the suction-cup option, and the most expensive (7808M-A) is a mini light, so paying more doesn't mean getting a larger or brighter unit.
