Kinda curious.......I opened it up last night to clean the dust off the inside.

Pat pretty much nailed it but, I will offer these alternatives. You CAN buy a different flasher. Fitting it into the housing itself might be interesting. You CAN buy strobe modules and a strobe power supply and convert it to strobe.

It's been a while since I've had a halogen dashmiser apart, but it might be possible to replace the halogen bulbs with a standard HAW strobe tube, and run it off an external power supply. Just a thought that might be cheap, depending on what parts you have laying around.

A more expensive alternative is to gut the whole thing and put either LIN6 or TIR6 LEDs. I'm a big fan of that:

You can change out the twistlock halogens with twist lock strobes, and get a replacement power supply that whelen places in the self-contained model. That's what I did with my dashmiser.

Those modules slide right in to the channels in the housing w/o any adapter or anything?

If so, sweet, I have a TA housing that I might like to put some of those in. Back to top    URL Pimpala03

how do you secure the lightheads after placing them inside the housing? (talking of the tir6s/lin6s)
