@@DodgeMonaco1978 Thanks, I’d rather pay for reliable American products, my father was a combat Marine in Korea from 50-51, but only fought Chinese, yet never was hateful except about parts & tools manufactured in China, as my folks operated farms from 1914 until today, they always talked about losing money for trying to save by purchasing tools from China, and they would give out on the first 2 minutes of use, maybe they’ve gotten better, but I don’t have the money to speculate, I must buy American products with American warranties.
@@DodgeMonaco1978 A high amperage power supply wouldn't make them rotate faster but excessive output voltage would. That means it's very possible your 50-amp power supply is delivering more than the standard 13.8 volts. Most power supplies of that size have an adjustable voltage feature and if you crank it wide open they typically max out in the 16-17 volt range. If that's the case here, the motors in these lights would likely be alright because these types of motors can handle a slightly higher voltage but the bulbs will probably result in a much shorter lifespan if they exceed 14 volts.
@@Zorak1 - Wolo (3610-R) Power Beam Halogen Rotating Emergency Warning Light, or just type "Wolo Beacon". I bought one and put a resistor in line with the power wire to motor to slow the rotation closer to the Federal Model 14.
Nice toy but nothing really serious. If you are looking for a few spare parts(or a dome) for your Mod.14 beacon, it is definitely an option. But not for serious collectors.
Really awesome lights! First I thought, they are fish trawler lights. But then I noticed it's police lights!
Thanks, but nautical lights are always red (larboard/port) and green (starboard).
Those manufactured in US? They’re awesome
Made in Taiwan, they are a cheap copy of the original Mod.14 beacon

Ive got a wolo power beam 3600 and it does not spin that fast. How did you get yours to do that??
Depends on your power supply. I use a power supply with 50A.

How much for these lights?
$340 or 300€ for both plus shipping.
Where did you get them or do you know where to get them
Amazon

What's your overall thought on this light
