Federal Model 14 beacon discussion

Decided to toss together a quick video covering the run on Model 14 Beacons I have been coming across as of late.
Covers some of the variances between releases, and other beacon tomfoolery.

SV, have you pit this on your eLB acct? Perhaps in a spreadsheet that covers the changes in each series and models 11 & 14. As always, a wealth of knowledge on Fed Sig products and another quality, informative video!

Back in the day we did the spot and flood bulb mix on purpose.

Interesting, when I was a VFD we had CJ184/284 lights on mounted in tandem on the cab that were setup like this. I think I still have one of them actually.

Very nice! I got a 14, been trying to find a clear dome forever for mine. Someday maybe.

[@stampeedvalkyrie]

should not be too hard to come by. While out of production, I still see them floating around from time to time.

Thank you Stampeed for your video, you are a wealth of knowledge. I am lucky enough to have a Model 14 in mint condition, found in a local FD (-:

[@stampeedvalkyrie]

Nice, these are neat little lights.

[@robertskeels1140]

Housing for the lamps in 2s are different

[@stampeedvalkyrie]

correct, the changes between the A2 and the A3 series is where this takes place.

[@TV-MASTBYGGAREN]

Very cool how many watts on lamps?

[@stampeedvalkyrie]

That depends on what bulbs you are using. The Model 14 used GE4416 which I think are 30 watt lamps. So 2.5 amps per bulb. 2 bulbs so 5 amps + motor
