Post your strobe/warning light setup with pics!

As stated, I don't want to cut into any factory wiring or have lights installed anywhere that I have to mess around removing should I trade the truck someday. So for my fairly limited use this setup should work out just fine.
Attached are a couple screenshots of the configuration/software update menus.

Does nobody use the old motor-driven beacon (AKA 'gumball machine') atop their rigs? Surely with high-output alternators and in some cases dual batteries the high draw should not be an issue...the beauty of them, in my opinion, is that they actually warn rather than just identify, especially when plowing driveways...the rotating beacon (2 or 4 sealed beam bulbs) will throw its light in a distinct moving beam when the truck cannot be seen casting its light far and wide onto adjacent properties and objects warning oncoming traffic that a plow truck will soon be emerging. These newer warning lights are more of a glow, and not as far-reaching, more of a line-of-sight warning light...then once the truck is in view they both pretty-much even out with identifying the truck.
Does anybody use them?

I actually checked the box after my original post and reinstalled the module to the OBD port. Haven't tested it yet. Here's a note from their website:
- Will my brake lights still work?: Your brake and turn signals will override the flashing pattern. If the module is active and you hit the brakes or use your turn signal, that function will override. This cannot be disabled as it is an important safety feature.

Whelen makes a nice light bar called Century with either magnetic or suction cup mounts. The trouble may be in finding green LED.
I recently purchased suction cups on Amazon that had a 1/4 inch threaded stud. That may be an option to replace magnet mounts on a light bar.

I honestly haven't used it yet to any degree. I installed it, turned it on and it worked. Brought it in and plugged into computer just to see what the configurations looked like but didn't change anything.

I can plug mine into my Mac. In fact that was one of the specific questions that I had before purchase. The ZPU app is on my Mac desktop but I honestly don't remember downloading it specifically. Seems like I just plugged the module into the computer and it came from there. You may have to go into the Printers/Devices or whatever Windows calls it to find your ZFlash device if you use that OS. I'm not really savvy in that world, I'm a Mac user.
According to page 3 of this manual, you should be able to plug it into your computer and access the software. https://www.ultrabrightlightz.com/co...k%20Manual.pdf
If you contact Ultra Bright Lightz, today I'll bet they reply sometime on Monday. At least they did for me one time when I contacted them over the weekend.
Sorry I couldn't come up with some better specifics for you.
