Here we take a look at the new SoundOff nRoads Low Dome Beacon.
These are Very Nice & Very Bright! www.TriStatePSE...

I've been a peace officer for 34 years, this fella has the best information I've ever seen from a solicitor, at quarterly residual trainings solicitors only want to sell you the most expensive, however this gentleman understands what a patrol first or second line supervisor require in an unmarked, as well as a covert/overt criminal investigator, or administrator CID/Patrol. I'm absolutely impressed with this, only because civilians now know how to ID Led police vehicles that work at hiding the COM/Siren on a hand mike, but hiding this ,while working out of a non-police looking vehicle would be perfect.

Yeah, sort of like the modern day "Fireball" of the 70's, 80's and early 90's.

I finally saw one of these for the first time today on a utility truck, dual color amber/green. I was very surprised at how bright it was, fantastic light output all the way around.

I have to see what the limitations are for the magnetic. It is interesting that it is more limited because it cost more just for the magnets, but limited capability. I wish they had a comparison list of of permanent vs magnetic mount capabilities. Looks great, but if I can switch patterns and with a dual color select the color mode and magnetic then it works for me.

[@johnhub9626]

That would make a great public safety vessel (paroling fireworks shows, assisting disabled vessels, etc) ID light since it can alternate red/amber. Most lights in service are the old-school PAR halogen bulb rotatory, one amber, one red.

Nice beacon. I'd really like to to see it built with either a circular or an eight segment lighthead to better simulate the pop-flash of a rotating beacon. It appears quite bright however.

[@ComputerLearning0]

These beacons look to be about the same size as the old "pancake" style halogen rotating lights.

[@JDogg795]

@Tri-State Public Safety Does this do dual color simulated rotation? Like if I got a R/B, would it rotate red while the opposite head shows blue (so it would look like individual blue/red if you were stationary)?

[@stevehorvat69]

Eric, I'm gathering that magnet mount wouldn't really stick on that aluminum bodied F-150 and you put it up there just for the video demo. Cool light.

[@TriStatePublicSafety]

Steve Horvat - Video purposes only 😉

[@828enigma6]

Don't buy an aluminum vehicle if you're going to put a magnetic mount anything on it.

I have been wondering and thinking about this beacon. Thanks for a very informative video. I think it has helped make up my mind. Also, can you sync these with other low domes? I'm thinking about a pilot car with two low dome beacons.

[@Commissar0617]

yup. they can sync with any and all nroads and nforce products in a permanent mount

[@RideFaster]

had a cord chewed off by some animal... do they sell replacement wires and plugs?

[@Journeyman.71]

Talking about the features that can only really be fully accessed in a permanent mount, they should make it in a mag-mount with cigar plug, but with a small in-line switch box allowing all features to be utilized!

[@TriStatePublicSafety]

secpd - I think 9 modes + flash patterns is just too much for a simple cigarette plug. The permanent mount model will have a cable with all the necessary wires thus allowing the user to use more functions. It's the same with mini bars.

[@rickfrank7934]

Eric need some help here. If one is wanting to use 2 low dome nroads beacons placed side by side on a drill free mount for a current gen Ranger or Tacoma how do you accomplish this with the antenna thats physically located very close to the 3rd brake light? Thanks in advance.

[@TriStatePublicSafety]

We can’t say for sure, as we haven’t had either of those vehicles in the shop recently. However, a Ford ranger is listed on Acari’s website, so they clearly make one..

[@rickfrank7934]

@@TriStatePublicSafety Thank you for the very prompt reply. Will for sure check out Acari's site.

[@OnBakePlatinum]

I thought these ones had LEDs pointing straight up too? What were those yellow dots on top?

[@muchammadrizqy3094]

i think that's china model, like mine

[@FamousTVvoice]

No, the nRoads Dual deck has the LED triangle on the top, and BTW, these (SoundOff) lights are made entirely in Michigan

[@jasoncook1085]

nice

[@sarge9760]

wattage?

[@satan6169]

nforce lights dont look bright off axis on video anyway.
