[@Lightbars7000]

Sorry I’m two days late watching this but it’s a great video I am really satisfied with the way you respond with answers and how you put in good information on videos

[@AdamsLights]

Thanks James- your satisfaction is my #1 priority 😂

[@sirendude]

Such an interesting bar. I love the night time demonstration. You should do that more often. Once again great video!

[@AdamsLights]

Thanks! I've considered doing an "After Dark" series of videos, with random videos of my bars in a dark setting. Stay tuned to see if that happens!! :)

[@santaclaus6602]

That slow flash is neat

[@AdamsLights]

yeah, I like it too!

[@thomasp942]

Cool! Never seen one of these bars before!

[@AdamsLights]

Thanks!! They are pretty rare, from what I've learned.

[@jamesf9540]

Cool I like your video

[@AdamsLights]

Thanks!

When I started in 1988, we had some of these left. I've been trying to find one, any ideas?? Thanks/Ryan

[@AdamsLights]

GOOOOOD Luck. They were not very popular outside of Texas, so there wasn't a ton of them to begin with. This one had a literal bird's nest in it when I got it.

Rutherford County, TN Sheriff had several of these in service in the early to mid 1980s. Blue/Blue tho.

Never saw a LL bar before though I burned through every LL beacon attached to the forklift fleet.

[@AdamsLights]

They were very rare, and didn't last long..... used primarily in Texas, with few other locations nationwide.

[@spunbearing65]

@@AdamsLights There was this old Clark forklift among the then newer Toyotas that had a North American rotator on it. Saw that over the LL’s. Really helped in the dark spaces because the bosses demanded everyone ship and receive at full throttle. Don’t know how many people got injured before it was finally slowed down.

Whats the green and blue one below it and the led one abovd it

[@AdamsLights]

The one above it is my Tomar Heliobe 930L. The one below it is my MX7000 Custom Flasher. BOTH of those videos will be coming out before the end of the year, so stay tuned!!

@@AdamsLights the heliobe looks suspiciously like a Freedom bar...🤔

[@majortom4300]

Why are strobes so hard to see?

[@AdamsLights]

It has to do with the frame-rate of the recording. For example.... let's take exactly one second of time, and zoom way in on that. My video camera captures video at a frame rate of 30 frames-per-second (FPS)... that means that in that one second, it takes 30 individual 'pictures'.... it stitches those frames together every second, to create motion video. The flash of a strobe can be as fast as 1/100th of a second.... which is considerably faster than the 30 FPS shutter speed. That essentially means that the strobe is most likely flashing BETWEEN the 30 'pictures' the camera takes each second. Now, not all strobes flash that fast obviously, and they are fairly inconsistent as well.... that's why the final result looks like a haphazard collection of random looking flashes. Sometimes the camera shutter and strobe flash line up, but most times they don't. I hope that makes sense!

[@Carterthielftw_]

@@AdamsLights well explained, strobes have always been annoying to film.

[@thepurdychannel8866]

I would love a xenon strobe light bar i have a amber halogen beacon

[@AdamsLights]

They are available, you just have to look in the right places!

[@thepurdychannel8866]

@@AdamsLights seen some on ebay but the postage fees are insane

[@AdamsLights]

@@thepurdychannel8866 Yeah, you'd definitely be better off on Craigslist or FB Marketplace, where you can get them locally.
