Lowe's tends to use these a lot, a least what I can gather from other people who have commented on this video. One I've been to has these not only for the emergency exits, but as well as a restroom alert signal as well.
I've seen these in white with the blue lens before. They are at a school located about an hour morth of my area. They are used as lockdown alarms, and are set to whoop.
+NewEnglandElevators my old town high school had commander 4 blue strobed set on continuous tone for lockdown C3 yellow strobe for tornado C2 green for CO2 C1 red and clear strobe for fire
My local Lowes has these alarms attached to Emergency Exit doors on the outside garden area. They also have weatherproof casing. My Lowe's main fire alarms are Wheelock MT
My local Lowe’s has one of these as an emergency exit alarm. It replaced a blank white SHG (the other ones are still intact). The fire alarms, unsurprisingly, are Radionics T-Bars and Radionics branded wall and ceiling mounted Wheelock AS Horn/Strobes.

My Lowe’s has these by the exits and are used for the security, shoplifting, and flood alarm systems. The emergency exits when opened set off the fire alarms which are wheelock as wall and ceiling mount.
Lowe's seems to use these a lot. I've seen them next to emergency exits, as well as being used as a bathroom alarm. Never thought they would be used for Tornado/Lockdown stuff, either.
it's OK to do that in a private setting like your house what he meant was that by code in a public place you wouldn't be allowed to use it as a fore alarm.
They have those blue models as Emergency exit door alarms at the Lowe's here in Monroe. They also are set on the "Whoop" tone. Sorry to say this but, Holy crap, those things are loud. Aside from that, they have the red Wheelock AS model Fire alarm horn and strobes, honestly.
It’s not rare technically, you can buy them all over. This look rare because of its color, but it is not a partitioned “FIRE alarm”, it’s used, as en example, for a tornado alarm, or an active shooter alarm, or a bomb threat alarm.... you get the point.
The ones where the device is a full color other red/white seem to not be as common anymore, I don't think they are even being made. The ones that you mentioned now seem to come with a white body, but with a colored lens for the different notification purpose as you're getting. Congrats on your newest acquisition!
I haven't seen any Amber Simplex strobes yet, though I have seen a few clear lensed "ALERT" TrueAlerts. Too bad they don't come in a wide variety of colors like this.
Glad to see another person with the same device (though if you spray pant another trim plate blue, you could get it to match, lol). Interesting to hear of one made that far back (2006). Merry Christmas!
Anything you want, as long at it's not fire alarm use. Most common use I've seen and heard of for these are emergency door devices; not fire alarm, but still notification related.
These general use notification appliances are also commonly used in ADA suites at hotels for a doorbell system. I've also seen these general use alarms in parking garages, used as a warning for when the doors are closing .In fact that one was a also a Gentex Commander 3, except it was white with an amber strobe. And it had a sign posted above it that read: "WHEN ALARM SOUNDS, STAND BACK FROM DOORS."
***** Gentex does not directly sell blue mass notification devices anymore, but they do make the colored lenses for factory and aftermarket installations.
Never thought of it that way. There's a SpectrAlert Advance that was rebranded by BluePoint systems with a blue shell that's made for police alert use. Again, it's a general notification device, so I'm sure there's a billion uses out there for this, including police.
It could be used as a security alarm, it may even be designed for that purpose, but it can be used for general notification. General notification includes things like tornado alarms, hurricane warnings, and in some cases security.

They often use them at Lowes as door alarms that are activated when two magnets loose contact when the door opens.
I could use this as a "I'm not in a good mood alarm"
These general alarms are somewhat common at Lowe's.
NorCalDude599 yeah I see them a lot at Lowe's
@@technologyproductions-ye3px They go off on Slow Whoop when someone opens an emergency exit door

but red is my favorite color...
still a neat find!
and my favorite is blue😃
Nehemiah numbers same
for the strobe lens colors it is green clear yellow blue and red
The Lowes in Bountiful has these at each emergency exit
One Lowe's I have been to has these in a similar setup. There is also one that is used as a bathroom alert device.
+NewEnglandElevators hmmmm.
NewEnglandElevators do you mean like if the bathroom floods?
NewEnglandElevators I seen them used as bathroom devices
I definitely would like to have that alarm especially that it's my favorite color
A fire alarm covered in dryed up blueberry juice lol
I have that one at my school except its red
ive seen these at a clinic i went to before, usually they are used for fire drills and stuff.
Fire drills? Must be used on a private signaling setup then (not meant for the public to be alerted, staff responds first).

It’s blue! 😱😱
Says the title as well lol 😂
Were Do You Buy some of GenTex
It reminds me of those white wheelock mt’s at airports. Those are also general notification alarms
I have the version that also works for outdoor use.
The model is WGECB24-75PWB.
That's the one that is in your profile pic? Pretty cool!
Love the blue paint!
It looks pretty cool, I will tell you that. It's not everyday you see a blue device like this.
***** No ,siree. I've seen one yellow but every other one I've seen was red or white.
Gentex commander in blue is normal not custom gecb24-pwb
@@kylesmassproductions6374 bro you are replying my comments from ages ago. Get up off my ass.
It can be used for police it's general notification
I'm blue da ba dee da ba da
This can be used as a tornado alarm or a police alarm.
It’s for fires.
Where ever I go I always see these type of Gentex fire alarms. But I've never seen blue before! Is it a rare alarm by any chance?
Super Techno Cat sort of, but it’s for general signaling

Alexander Goushy G&G Landscaping I thought this was an emergency exit alarm.
Where did you get the blue gentex commander 3 from and how do you order one?
I seen this alarm at Home Depot's sadly the alarm was replaced with a door closer
Are you OK?
The mythical GECB.
Yes sir!
I think I've heard somewhere that they use this in washing machine factories when a washing machine fails.
That's probably the most interesting use of a General Notification device I've heard of! Thanks for sharing.
@@NewEnglandElevators You're welcome.
Why don’t you get a white one?
People would probably think it was a fire alarm 🚨 and evacuate
Yay
why is the commander 3 blue
Perfectly good explanation in video/description.
+NewEnglandElevators no it's a question
Perfectly good explanation in video/description that should answer your question!
nice device. thanks!

IT'S SO BLUE! OH MY GOD!
It is so blue! Never thought I would get one so blue!
+NewEnglandElevators l saw one in a Lowes
I know Simplex makes different versions of the True Alerts with amber colored flashers and the word "ALERT" on them. I've sen those in a few places.
I haven't seen any Amber Simplex strobes yet, though I have seen a few clear lensed "ALERT" TrueAlerts. Too bad they don't come in a wide variety of colors like this.
Something about building codes requires the fire alarms to have red on them and be easy for anyone in the building to identify.
Nathaniel Lind known as NLind on RUclips has one as well but he tested his with batteries.
Gary Beltz yes, a 24vdc alarm could be powered by batteries, as batteries output dc voltage.
Blue of the Sea!
omg it's BLUE IT'S MY FAVORITE COLOR!!!!!
Levent Hoepet it's a bluepoint police alarm lol
No it is not.
COOL
I Got This Exact Alarm (No Trim plate) 366 Days Ago (Dec. 24, 2018)

I've seen his stuff, I haven't talked with him much.
Gentex is blue its comander 3 in Home
Is there a commander 4 ?
Yes.
The Commander 4 is a ceiling-mount alarm.
Yep, there is indeed a Commander 4, which is the ceiling mount version of the Commander 3. Not sure if it comes in blue, though.
***** Gentex does not directly sell blue mass notification devices anymore, but they do make the colored lenses for factory and aftermarket installations.
How many volts did you use?
24VDC
Where did you buy that
eBay
This looks like a police alarm
I found one in eBay for $35 and I just bought it
I have one too (same model)
Awesome!
I saw one at home depot
Home Depot? That's the first I've heard of it!
***** it's been 5 years tho

its a police alarm
No, it can be used for most any general notification.
No it's not.

Not really but ok 👍🏽
Police Alarm?
E Doyle not necessarily
The blue alarms are called police alarms
It can be anything
