What happens when a light bar becomes a control system? We sit down with TowMate’s Chris Anderson to explore how flexible warning lights and smarter training are reshaping safety, installs, and compliance across state lines. The Infinitra 58 quad‑color bar anchors the conversation with full 360 coverage and deep configurability: independent control of patterns, speed, intensity, front cutoff, and rear‑only modes for stationary work. Add traffic advisor functions, cruise and parade modes, plus stop‑tail‑turn integration, and you get a single platform that adapts to jobs, policies, and regional codes without swapping hardware.

We also unpack the engine behind it all: PowerLink 2.0, a two‑wire power‑and‑ground digital platform that’s 44x faster than the original and broadcasts across three frequencies for rock‑solid reliability. Installers get CAN‑like control without extra data wires, upfitters shave hours from builds, and fleets can standardize across vehicles with drop‑in multicolor markers and stop‑tail‑turn replacements. For agencies and operators crossing state borders, a configurable quad‑color setup means fewer compromises and clearer signaling at every scene.

There’s more: a first look at the TowMate Advantage wireless tow light, a lithium‑powered, budget‑friendly cousin to the SaberLight. Expect wireless stop‑tail‑turn with sequencing amber turns, integrated strobe and area light, a clean housing with strong magnets, and a smart battery indicator on startup—plus an upgrade kit path for TM22 owners moving to lithium. Rounding it out, TowMate University launches as a module‑based training hub to help dealers and operators master setup, configuration, and best practices so every feature turns into real‑world safety and efficiency.
