Federal Signal Vista Strobe Lightbar
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.7 месяцев назад
This is a 90s vintage Federal Signal Vista strobe lightbar, from the Aurora, Colorado Police Department. This lightbar features 8 upper strobes, 4 intersection strobes, front alternating flashers, rear traffic advisor, takedowns, and alleys. These strobes are lackluster, and are easily overpowered by the halogen lower lights, but it’s a cool collection piece nevertheless. NFS/JFS
Code 3 Force 4 LP6000 Volunteer Lightbar with Variations of Colored Filters
Просмотров 8429 месяцев назад
This is a 38” Code 3 Force 4 LP6000 Volunteer lightbar, that features 2 standard outer rotators and cascade mirrors. This is the lowest of the low budget options that Code 3 offered at the time, but the options for colored filters under clear domes for the rotators are nearly endless. I put together three possible configurations of various filter colors and styles to show the potential. NFS/JFS

    Agreed - the D-Techs are novel and unique, but as you said, they spin too quickly for any real color definition. I do like what @elightbars did, with the variable speed motor and slowing it way down. This was back in the day when Code 3 was novel and innovative - things like the intersection/pursuit sweeps, tactical takedowns, the ArrowStik (I believe that was the first directional bar...)

    I get sad when I see a Tomar Heliobe. Early on in my collecting, about 10 years ago, I bought 4 or 5 different light bars from an auction across the country. They were able to individually ship me each of them, except for the single Helilobe because it was too big for the boxes they had. I think it was about 5 feet long. Unfortunately, I have never seen another one listed from the places I bought from since.😢

      Do not do that. LED bulbs will not work as warning, and the motors are not upgradable. LED bulbs for display are okay if you want, but it won’t flash with a “pop” they way it’s designed to. The motors are specific to the light and are not interchangeable with any other motor without extreme modification.

    • @doranbaltus
      @doranbaltus 3 месяца назад

      @@SgtkodeI’m telling you that LED bulbs will not work due to the way LEDs cast light. LEDs cast light in one single direction, and there’s no central focal point as there is in a filament bulb, so there is no “pop” within the flash that will occur due to there being no focused focal point of light. This applies to any replacement LED bulbs you could put into the original fixtures. And the motors are specific to the gears and gear cage, so they are not readily replacing without heavy modification. And don’t tell me to calm down. I’m not uncalm. You just have a bad idea and I’m telling you it’s a bad idea. Don’t get mad that someone is disagreeing with you.

    Never could figure out why the inner rotators are at a fast speed than the outers. Federal Signals was the same way with their Streethawks. I would much rather the faster rotators be on the outside and actually reversed them on my Streethawk to be more effective when clearing an intersection since I want more lighting.

    • @doranbaltus
      @doranbaltus 6 месяцев назад

      Slower rotators have a better "dwell time," which enables the human eye to more effectively track the vehicle, without the eye becoming overwhelmed. The outer standard rotators effectively establish the dimensions of the vehicle from all angles, while the inner rotators don't have that responsibility, and can be faster in order to create a more urgent front/rear facing warning signal. When used together, you get both a good steady signal that's easy to track with they eye, and a good front/rear fast signal that conveys urgency. If you really want good intersection lighting, you're not going to get it on a lightbar unless it's mounted on your front bumper. With that being said, you could get StreetHawk intersection lights (DynaRays), or do the easier thing and put strobes in your outer front turn signals.
