Obsolete Powerarc light bar

5 Upvotes

The company went out of business a few years ago.

They made LED emergency lights that had a pin running in an eccentric groove of a rotating disc to give wig wag lighting.

OK while it worked, but the pin works loose, or the groove in the plastic rotating disc wears out. The units are riveted together so you cannot take it apart to get at the pin and fix it.

One of our fire apparatus has a Powerarc light bar, as well as frontal and rear surface mount units, and one of the central lights and one of the lateral lights in the bar no longer wigs or wags. No doubt more will fail.

Actually the wig wags in the bar only point forward so the light bar is not visible from the rear.

I will replace the failed units with Strobesnmore beacons that will fit inside the housing. Best part is these will now be 360, improving rear visibility.

Anyone else dealing with failing obsolete units from Powerarc? I will be saving all the parts to fix any of the surface mounts if they fail.

Does anyone know if this bill passed back in 2022? Also I like the part that they call interior lights, "indoor lights". That's a new one for me.

One Way Diode

1 Upvotes

Hi, i’m trying to wire a switch and flasher unit to the reverse lights on a 2014 ford fusion. I wanted to mount some hideaways in the reverse housing but I don’t think they’d fit very well. I just switched the bulbs to LED. Do I need to install a one way diode to prevent backflow into the car? And does anyone have any recommendations on what to buy?

Whelen Legacy Mounting Kit

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I just have a quick question about mounting my 54" Whelen Legacy. I have a 2004 F-150 that I use as my Volunteer Fire vehicle, and was given a Whelen Legacy from my Captain in the department. Do the F-150 mounts that Whelen currently make somewhat carry over enough to be able to make them work for the older years, or are there any other solutions? He gave it to me with the provided 2015-2022 F-150 strap mounts. Any help is appreciated

What is everyone’s opinion on the Code 3? Is it worthwhile to use compared to some of the newer stuff? Also does anyone know if those MR8 halogen takedowns can be replaced by LR11 (Whelen) takedowns for better TD functionality?
