Not the most in volume that's for sure! But I try! I think I have a collection of distinctive and unique offerings by the different manufacturers.

None, however I'm willing to learn. It's easier to place my collection in use, I can switch out dash lights, but I certainly can't use a light bar on my work ride.

Lets see:
1) 52" all light MX7000 - 4 rotators, 8 strobes including two intersections, f/r flashers, TDs and alleys
2) 47" all light LP6000 - 5 rotators, two diamond mirrors, mini TDs, and alleys
3) 48" SVP Impulse - 4 rotators, flashing TDs, rear flashers, and low profile alleys
4) 52" Twinsonic 12x in with solid blue domes
5) 52" Yankee 911 - NOS with red and blue domes
6) 48" NYPD Vision
7) 52" Twin Beacon Ray / Visabar - R/R
8) 47" Premier Hazard Maxim 90 - 5 rotators, 4 diamond mirrors - clear dome with B/R/B/R/B filters.
9) 22" Aerodynic - 4 synced rotators R/C/C/R
10) Mini LP - amber - two rotators and oscilazer
11) Mini Intensity - blue - 2 rotators and diamond mirror.
12) Sho-Me Stealth - R/B on top, green on the bottom.
13) 3 pod Vector - R/C with A rear/R - two medium speed rotators and center high speed

I think we all need to start posting pics. You guys all have some nice stuff!
