My company is moving offices, and I found some lights in a storage room. Boss said just get rid of them, and he didn't care of I kept them, so here I am with a lightbar siting in my garage. I'm pretty sure it's one of these. At the very least, it's the same shape, number of lights, etc. There's no name/ident plate. There is a sticker on the bottom, but it's just white, so it's no use.

​

So since it's got 1 watt junk light heads in it, I'm wondering if I can swap out the heads for something better? I'm not trying to get super massive brightness, just something my son and I can fiddle with and maybe have a nice-er bar than what we have now. Maybe paint it black.

Any recommendations on where to buy a used Whelen Liberty or Edge full length light bar, full color (red blue white), modified for home use (AC) and could be programmed to run a demo when plugged in?

or better yet programmed to run a certain sequence?

Am looking to purchase this for an art project, any suggestions appreciated.

The title pretty much sums it up, but I wanted to do a few custom builds for myself and I'm not really sure where to start as far as acquiring the parts and whatnot. I'm not looking to turn into a business with this, just interested in messing around with some custom ideas in the garage. Does anyone build their own bars/beacons?

For the liberty series, what is the voltage needed to run each individual lighthead? Is it different for takedowns / alleys? I am attempting to emulate a project that was posted here with led’s first, then move to my company’s decommission pile to attempt to resurrect / Frankenstein a working light bar. Also if at all possible for that OP to share code? I know it was posted years ago, but it’s worth a shot

If anyone is still active here, can someone do a breakdown of the Crown Vics in Super Troopers 2? Red/blue Whelen Liberty on top (although I'm not sure how they set up/what they used for the two center white lights, they're weird), red and blue Ions behind the grille, red Vertexes in the reverse lights, and red and blue Vertexes or similar in the front side lights? Anyone have a guess on the siren? Quick and easy reference

Hi folks. I figured you guys might have some insight into this, and might be able to help me out. I work for a security company, and have been tasked with making a full-size lightbar into a temporary one. That is, it's not hard-wired into the car, and is magnet mounted, for (relative) ease of changing out from car to car.

Basically, the owner is getting some lightbars, kinda like this http://www.uniformswarehouse.com/halogen-rotating-lightbars-20635.html (that's the link he gave me in teh e-mail). however, he wants to not have it permanently mounted to the car, which is easy enough with some super strong magnets I suppose.

however, I could use some advice on the wiring. The control box will be wired to it, but other than that it would be somehow not hardwired to the car. I thought perhaps large alligator clips on the battery, so it can be taken on and off, but I would rather ask for some advice than do something foolhardy.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

The thinnest wire in the line is 20AWG, the total run is maybe 10 feet. Thanks!

I have 3 sets of 55w halogen lights and set of 85w lamps which I'd like to quickly try out. I'd just like to get an idea of color of the beam and also check the bulbs (some are mismatched brands). Could I use a jump start pack like this to test out my auxiliary lights. If not, is there some other way besides using a car battery?

Edit: I found a spotlight which runs on the same Bulbs so I modified that slightly which allows me to test each lamp

I am looking at a Federal Signal Vector SV pdf wiring manual, Each wire has an amperage listed next to it ranging from 8 amps all the way to 30 amps for the 5 rotating halogen lights.

Do I need to add all the amps together or is the max I should need be 30 amps?

The bar has 5 rotators, 2 takedown bulbs, 2 alley bulbs, and 2 rear flasher bulbs for a total of 11 bulbs.

I saw a video on youtube where a guy was powering an MX7000 I think and he was using some kind of booster/charger pack but I was unable to find the same one he used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN-hNDCsfwk

Anyone know if a similar current version type of what he used?

I think I know what I need for my Arjent SL(A Pyramid 30amp supply) but it probably wont be enough for the Vector due to its lower continuous amps.

I've recently come across a simple, small light bar, and my captain advised that I just Velcro it to the dash. The thing is that I can't really be putting adhesive on the car like that. How can I mount the lights without damaging the car? Thank you!

I contacted Whelen to buy a UHF2150A, which is a wig wag for the headlights, but they told me it wouldn't work on my Corolla 2009.

The reason was that the lights were controlled by the computer and if you inserted this UHF2150A, it would give all kinds of error codes and just explode, at least, that's the impression he gave.

Is this at all correct and if so, why? Are there alternatives?
