Ultimate Old vs. New Fire Alarm Dual (3,000 Sub Special)

[@Nolonger-q8f]

I do prefer the modern horn strobes. But my favorite generation of fire alarms is from the 1990s to early 2000s

[@idkanymore9590]

I’m with you man, specially the later 90’s to the mid-late 00’s.

[@That_2_guy2T]

The thing about modern alarms is they actually aren't trying to be very loud because older horns and bells are very loud which can hurt peoples hearing, so a solution to that is making alarms not entirely loud.

[@WarningSirensOfCNY]

True that

[@Firealarmcollectorpeople_1]

Edwards changed there logo from the rectangular lantern logo to the shield logo in 1964 so the Edward’s bell is from ether 1970 to 1989 and the Edward’s circular horns are the old lantern logo pre 1964

Thanks for the info!

@@tots16 Why does the Potter bell have some similar name kinda similar to… uh… Harry’s surname…?

[@The-creator-of-good-videos-15]

@@tots16 And also, my previous school’s fire alarms were the ZeRio box sounders, the smoke alarms/detectors and the heat-alarms/detectors. I think… there were also the strobe ones. I think the box shaped sounders were *v e r y* loud I think, in my opinion. I think…

Thanks! That means a lot to me!

[@wigwagstudios2474]

Gahh your collection is so cool! I love how you collect all kinds of neat old ones and not just some modern electronic stuff.

[@Warp3326]

I like the old alarms better since most use higher quality materials (metal)

[@anthonyanderson4350]

A lot of places still use the adaptahorn! They’re great! 😊 my local YMCA still does!

[@GeauxPJLifeSafety]

What are you using to measure sound levels? Whatever youre using is reading about 30db too high... You'd go permanently deaf if those were true readings lol

[@Idreamoftrucks316]

You should use the one that got painted as hazmat emergencies or severe weather just a thought

[@aerhardt]

12:34 That is true. There is a water park near me that was built in 2011. They use one of these to warn when the wave pool is about to start.

Awesome sounding! Some of these alarms you showed are still being made today: Simplex 4903-9425/9426/9427 series Gentex Commander 3 Wheelock Exceeder

[@michaelgrahamwongacutemadness]

I have a rare faraday resonating horn I find it not as loud as my spectralert advance alone but with all of my alarms connected it carries the farthest

L-series was introduced in 2017 iirc (I was there when it was introduced)

[@WarningSirensOfCNY]

The spectra alert one is what my school has

[@mr.fortytwofortysix-two]

Wow nice collection! Never knew you had a Natsco 411!

[@tots16]

Yeah, I bought that one several years ago now!

[@jacksonslaterelevatorraila6444]

Did Elyse & Ben give you the Federal model 53 from the late 60's ?

[@tots16]

No, they didn’t, and I don’t know who they are.

[@majed9004]

I have question about a model called HWL-LF the white one , is it only an audio device ? It doesn't sensitive to carbon by it self right ?

[@olgavherrerat7011]

🤩 wow

You’re missing the National Time 411 flush mount. This collection is badass tho my dude. Love it

[@tots16]

Thank you! I’ve been keeping my eye out for one of those!

[@jansimonsen8731]

10:09 Damn you got a 411? I live in Michigan and I can’t seem to get one. Where did you so happen to get this?

[@tots16]

I got this one on eBay a number of years ago.

34:28: Why does the System Sensor L-Series white fire alarm speaker-strobe thingy sound like a bell that belongs to a passing locomotive or a train?

[@tots16]

That’s because it’s a chime strobe.
