The reason why Wheelock had this long flash duration in their LED strobes was a quality control issue as they tried to get the LED to flash at 20 ms but they messed up and did 200 ms and that's not good because the slower flash rate produces a lot of colors and cause a person to have epilepsy of a variance of luminance and brightness when they look at a Xenon strobe due to the eye constantly adjusting brightness of the switching processing of Xenon or slow LED flashlights They did fix this issue on the new Wheelock Eluxa strobes and surprisingly System Sensor got the new LED L-Series to flash like Xenon and produce a pure white flash
So Wheelock basically has a longer flash with their strobes due to the fact that they couldn’t check that they added an extra 0 to their strobe duration?
@@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554 Ik but like I'm saying, when will we see a notifier voice evac system with simplex speaker strobes (e.g. truealerts, 4903s, lifealarms)
LEDs produce a different color of light (usually white with a blue-ish hue) in comparison to xenon tubes (pure white). Also, if a person looks at a device with a xenon flashtube that is surrounded by LEDs like those in the video (or vice versa), the LEDs will still be lit up after the xenon device flashes, thus causing a massive variance in illumination and brightness. These variances can, and likely will, cause a person with a photosensitivity (epilepsy, migraines, etc) to have a reaction. Newer codes require LED strobes to illuminate for 0.02 seconds or less to closely mimic the effect of a xenon flash.
The longer flash is pretty trippy, I can see why they changed it lol
Long flashes are SO underrated!!! Gotta be honest though, I just hate this script lol
Sound quality is really good actually especially from the led speaker strobes.
I Have an First addition AMBER LED Wheelock strobe its trippy
These are my favorite brand of fire alarms we like LED series are my favorite and also the message quality is so good

@@dexterthewulf3637 Yeah I think that was the QC issue with the company
Awesome!
The only led fire alarm design i like is the newer est genesis models. Like the speaker strobe or 4 strobe ceiling mount tbh
That long flash is pretty weird and for some reason brighter.
Nice, now when notifier with simplex speaker strobes
These are Wheelock, not Simplex, Simplex has never made an LED Speaker strobe and they really should.

I agreed @@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554
You can actually see the strobe flash
there has always been LED Strobes (VADS) in the uk
What kind of pull station do they have?
Probably a notifier Nbg-12 LX
These LED strobes with a Xenon Strobe mixed in won't cause epilepsy when they're synchronized

@@joeycaridi3030 yes they can. There’s a reason these aren’t listed for use with xenon strobes
Which pull station did you pull to activate the fire alarm?
They used the NBG-12LX
0:20
Imagine how weird that would look if they weren’t synced.
be like a weird disco
I dont like the new led strobe lights honestly
I dispise led strobes, they look ugly :D
They look cool to my opinion.
In my opinion they're good but they're actually bad quality wise because of Wheelock's quality control issue
I actually like them too, I wish Simplex and Gentex will make LED Strobed Conventional Fire Alarms
@@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554they both have LEDs. Led truealert and upcoming Commander 5
@@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554 System sensor started making them at least a few months ago.
