Federal Signal would like to thank Microchip Technology for this great video. We really appreciate the demo and booth space. Thank you!

I wish we had these type of light's on at least one each of our emergency and non-emergency vehicle's here in Concord, New Hampshire. 1 with Red, White and Amber for our Fire Vehicle's. 1 in all Blue for our Police Vehicle's. 1 in either all Amber/Yellow/Orange for our Construction/Maintenance/Towing and Snowplow Vehicle's. And 1 in all Green for our Security Vehicle's.

Nice light system, but way too many controls and options.. Appears way too complicated for a single officer to be able to operate. Going to need a second cop to operate the light controls.

[@subjectc7505]

They look good on the FDNY trucks 👏🏼😎

[@OnBakePlatinum]

between this and the valor, I kinda wish they combined them. Valor LEDS around the bar with the domes on top. Now that would be some major light output!

[@aaronbonatz3038]

Looks like a newer version of the vector light bar.

[@Davis2920022001]

$5000 !!!!!!?????

[@viperq]

Put this in a club.

[@thatonenigeriansformula]

NYPD use them today

[@FandCCD]

Super cool. I’m currently learning microcontroller programming with the Arduino and some of the other Microchip/Atmel MCUs (Eg. ATtiny13, ATtiny85, AT90S4414, etc). Maybe one of these days I’ll be building my own brand of light bar with your products! ;)

[@DDFJ1230]

I prefer whelen but I have to admit this is the best lightbar ever made. even the old ones

[@melonngmaing4499]

I see these lights I see NYPD

[@TourDriverSean]

FS stepped it up again! This is awesome!

[@michaeljavert4635]

Something as simple, and as awesome as sealed beam halogen rotators was completely destroyed, over complicated, and outrageously priced for cheap plastic and those HORRIBLE LED. Sad. And this is why we can't have nice things. Because of this rubbish that everyone thinks its better, and it's not. It is really NOT ! Parts probably not even made in America.

[@gtafan2006]

could this be done in an aerodynic package as their LED version has a limited light dispersment being stationary. im just wondering if the circuit board and rotator package could be implimented into a different bar or is this just the best light positioning for a lightbar?

[@tylerwallace4185]

I want one

[@Rick1885]

In the thumbnail it looks like it is melted and burnt.

[@Acer8181]

Coooooooool... :-o If you give it to Italian Police Forces, they will become crazy... (to understand hoew it's working!) :-D

[@astoriazfinest13]

cool but completely unnecessary

[@alexandersalarms5380]

Wut

[@aco52672]

I'd hate to see how much one of those things COST!!!

[@jetphoto]

I saw this at the Harrisburg PA fire show and made a video of it. Since then my video has been viewed close to 14,000 times. This is an awsome light bar

[@Basketball7552]

How much this costs????

[@tommysims89512]

NYPD

[@westerlywinds5684]

Tow trucks could abuse this by showing police colours.

[@SteveGarfunkle]

Amazing

[@jeriellsworth]

I'm sure I'll see these lights someday.

[@CCWSig]

@JRFF18E I heard more like $5000 as equipped.

[@MicrochipTechnology]

@pinerockfd4073 Federal Signal has received several orders from various local & state police municipalities. Please contact Federal Signal for additional information.

[@M-I]

What is the lowest temperature that this can handle

[@thebakerman1]

This is one bad-ass light bar.

[@signalstatstevedouglas1387]

very cool light bar.

[@H.R.T.P]

Obviously the person below isn't a police officer..

[@mediacoregroupph]

no korea green?

[@DreadWing7777]

Green Light's are mostly for Security Vehicle's here in the US, here in my hometown of Concord, New Hampshire, Green Light's are only on our Security Vehicle's, but I've have seen some Fire Department's in other state's that have Green' Light's mixed-in with the Red and White Light's on some of there Vehicle's, but I never seen any Ambulance's that have Green Light's on them though. I'm pretty sure they'll make an All Green One, they probably have to special request for one when ordering.

[@Packinheat1175]

This is a great light bar, way ahead of its time. They just need to get the price down and prove its reliability.

[@BCSchmerker]

This new lightbar, to replace the venerable Vision Halogen, will be a boon to installers preparing vehicles for some California code-enforcement agencies, e.g., animal services agencies and utility-district security departments, that may have scramble responsibilities for distress calls. An animal-control officer could need all-amber on scene at an urgent or routine call, red and blue when answering a call for backup from police.

[@gearreviewwithswampy5794]

It looks so good

[@aguyghow9783]

It looks like my blender when making a festive cranberry smoothie .. thanks for sharing .. Cheers.

[@douro20]

This is being sold as the Vision SLR. It is the world's most advanced lightbar.

[@tacomabanga1986]

this kind of technology would be cool in a dash light setup with the mirror behind it for povs and what knot, but a killer lightbar none the less :) looks like a new age smart vector

[@MVSLight]

Too Many colors and bit expensive

[@gtafan2006]

some railroads already have those idk why we don't for cars

[@PaulieMac77]

I so want me one they look cool

[@pinerockfd4073]

when will federal start to sell them

[@thomashowl6488]

Talk about over engineered, holy cow.

[@nightfury8440]

Illinois has a lot of Germans in it.

[@jeffking6286]

Where can we purchase these lightbars & accessories...???

[@MicrochipTechnology]

Hi Jeff, This light bar was designed and manufactured by the Federal Signal Corporation, located in University Park, IL. I would suggest contacting that location for further details on how to purchase. Here is their information: Federal Signal Safety And Security Systems Group 2645 Federal Signal Drive University Park, IL 60484 Phone: [phone] Fax: [phone] I hope this helps!

[@0527000]

Super light effects

[@Trumpet1669]

how much in us?

[@beaconmania]

FS still a leader

[@FM418]

Very innovative setup!

[@เต่าตกมัน-ฤ6ฤ]

มีความอยากได้

[@VFVFCo68]

they should make a 3 pod version...i would so get one!

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

They do. 7 years late.

[@nmtay]

This is the future...

[@นัด555-ร6ถ]

I very much

[@Shane42011]

Very Nice.

[@KiloByte69]

Brilliant.

[@christianocampo8894]

$????

[@joek0617]

@jacklimsws that's what this is

[@xXLoneDroneXx1]

Could a Volunteer Firefighter buy one of these or is it only for police, and other municipalities?

[@audinos1840]

Actual LED rotating beacons are actually not as actually bright as actual incandescent beacons actually are. Actually.

[@ObamaTookMyCat]

holy actually

[@828enigma6]

True. But incadesent lights have a terrible current draw.

[@Son37Lumiere]

This isn't really true. LEDs have become much brighter than the halogen bulbs used in old rotators but LEDs are available in all sorts of brightness levels.

[@astoriazfinest13]

explain to me why you need different colors in front and back?..flood lights fine but other than that i think its a little too much...

[@Lummy9134]

QNZ NYC there isn't an answer that will be worthy, but for example NYPD uses blue on the back for the becons on the ends. So they could have red in front blue on back.. is it nice sure.. needed is another story

[@skunko144]

can u have say amber / green and white ? for public use

[@jacklimsws]

the multi colored Fed Sig V shaped bar is better than this , but nice job .

[@MrBeto2020]

This are more annoying than hid

[@germanytank78]

made in china !!...

[@satan6169]

Can you get the multicolor LED's in a navigate rotator version
