@elightbars can you make a video on how to make on that custom control head you made?

Kentucky had those in blue.

I wish I could find the super strobes anywhere for sale for not a million dollars lol

are they good to be seen from a distance? doesnt look like it will be good far out like a regular rotator

Did they ever make a piercer that while give the 14 ha for the opticom.

Why does the CHP need to rig bids to ensure they get ripped off by a sales rep like we found in our investigation?

I just picked up a set of these, thanks for the great video! Glad to see I'm not the only one that likes old lights

These were very popular on the REAR of fire engines and are still used in cities with large fleets that have older engines with low usage and still living its shelf life

CHP Fleet will be accused of rigging bids in upcoming books about corruption in the police equipment market, Flashing Blue and Flashing Red Books about corruption and police warning lights. your information comes from sales people who are notorious liars. Creating stories from the dirty mustache is not what happened in Chester and Deep River, with hundreds now laid off, retired or fired the local stories about products are different. disclose where your information comes from or enjoy the fiction being created. much of these nonsense toys will be replaced by technology, even ambulance market is suggesting reduced use of code3 responses due to increased associated traffic accidents

Great video sir, do you by any chance know were I can get the wiring diagram for this bar and also what would be the proper model of the controller to operate the bar and the traffic advisor if you don't mind my asking?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I think you have every version of this bar😂

There is only one Q that is worth anything, and it's made by Fed Sig! This has got to be one of the worst Whelen tones I have ever heard in my life. Why they thought this was a good idea is beyond me.

I have thr vinyl covers for those domes if your interested

Where can i buy these

how do you even get one of these?

The Phoenix (Arizona) Police used these bars extensively throughout the 1980s. I can remember the blue lenses would always fade to a greenish color within a couple of years.

The Q tone was good. The M tone sounds like a flat cow.

A toy with an ECE Certification for the Czech republic?

Tone 9 sounds like a cheery background song from an 8 bit video game

Aren't federal director and interceptor sirens supposed to have a drop tone when they get switched to wail? Or is that just the early models? Great video by the way

The Whelen sounds like the sirens I hear a lot in early 70's tv shows, did Whelen ever make a siren in or around 1973-1974?

4:59 - 5:19 These don't particularly sound like the French sirens.

Most of them sound unrealistic compared to the real ones, and the 3 tone ambulance sirens where phased out years ago.

Why toy when it's essentially a whelen alphaSL with european tones?

damn the dutch ambo horn sounds about as serious as the dutch language 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

All very cool approaches manufacturers used, but the amount of engineering and resources used to come up with all the different ways to convert rotation into reciprocation seems counter to simplicity, efficiency, longevity, replacability, and profit. Seems like these designs violate Occum's Razor before the ink dried on the engineer's pallet.

Tone #38 is very common in the ambulances of the 061 health service in Spain. I didn't know about tone #18, I think it's wonderful.

Great video and siren education.

Can you get ahold of another one of these

I'll keep my Q mechanical siren thanks!

Holy shit, 18s my favorite

I noticed more than a couple tones that I could gladly use as a secondary that I believe would be effective. I especially like the tones I heard with tree parts, I think in many cases they would bring extra attention because they aren't so commonly heard.

I think that’s kind of tone, doesn’t fit with the USA culture, here in my country chile 🇨🇱the fire depts have almost 3 siren, a q2b, a Whalen or fedsig, and the hi lo air horn plus the truck air horn ahaha

Toy Sound siren

11 minutes you need the volume turned down

have any history on the vcon by chance ?

Would you happen to have 2 glass dtech rotors that you would sell or trade for something

This lightbar is named the Palm Beach Bar for Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. PBSO used them for many years.

Really cool light bar, For whatever reason these 80/90/8000s weren't really popular on that side of the rockies. I'm assuming whelens distribution network wasn't as developed as it became with the edge series

Interesting timing on this video. This weekend I came across the "box of sadness", aka the box of broken blue Whelen 80/90 lenses... I'll try to remember to PM you on the board.

nice! love those strobes

Cool alteration to a decent condition 8000, I think the cruise lights despite adding to potential inefficacy of the 360s is the best thing about the 8000, as it showcases the fluting of the outer lenses, a sweet effect, the washout from the pars' is the main detraction from the strobes but still, very cool bar. I love the biased dwell time the flasher relay gives the amber as opposed to the blue, I noticed some older headlight flasher relays used to do this

Keep it amber blue, love that

Also a really good way to have a "modern" beacon with directional color patterning, ie boston (blue front, red rear, white sides)

Well done!! You have set it up in the best possible configuration!! Don’t change it!

Very nice!

Looks awesome.

This is one light bar that I never really liked.

I want this light bar but in all red
