airport vehicle flashing beacons

Hi. This may be a bit of a strange question, but still here goes.

With regards to vehicles being airside and having to have a flashing beacon. Can anyone point me in the direction of the regulations surrounding this.

I have only ever seen vehicles that have one single beacon on the top of the vehicle with 360 visibility of the beacon. Is this part of the requriment, or can it be satisfied with several lights on the sides of the vehicle (like many ambulances have now).

Also are there any regs regarding the colour, brightness and flashing sequence etc.

Im am asking this as it is the poduct of 'down the pub' a conversation regarding airside vehicles. You know how it is.

Best Wishes.
