Thread: Whelen light demo boards. Video added 9/27

I just got these in from a board member..... they need a few lenses and lights here and there.... but I couldn't pass them up. They come with either the flasher or power supply needed mounted on the back, all you need to do is add 12v dc.

GREAT Find!!!!

Awesome!

Those are sweet!

Dude those are pretty cool!!! What are you going to do with them?? Man cave decorations???

Very cool! When I visited their factory in NH the install guys said they normally strip the demo boards for low-budget installs for the local emergency agencies.






A little off topic but relevant to the older demo boards- are the Whelen 73/64/97 Series lights compatible in size to the current 600/700/900 Series? Our heavy rescue is all of the older halogen style and I'd like to upgrade them to LED in the future if it's not too much of a PITA.

You're going to need a big box van, with a lot of surface area, to mount all those lights.

Nice switch panels too!

No, he's going to mount them on the ceiling over his bed.

I'm still fixing up my basement so my light room can be about twice the size it is now. These will be part of the display.

Now those are cool to have! I would assume these can become collector items as well.

Am I guessing right? Are the holes in the lenses on the 200 Series LEDs so you can change the flash patterns by "Shorting" the pins?

Good eye. That is correct.

Way cool! I always liked displays like those.

Too bad I just sold a few strip lights.....

Very nice John! It is always hard to display flush mount lights nicely and usually involves some creative handy work to build something.

i have an older strobe version of those in my collection

Yes, the 600/700/900-series LEDs have the same dimensions as their 64/73/97-series counterparts, screw-holes and all.

John, you are getting close to be the Whelen-man 'round here

Nice displays!

That's awesome. I'd love to have something like that!

I still need a Darth Vader beacon.... I also don't collect whelen crossbars... and my rotabeams will never come close to dmathieu's .... but other than that I think I have a decent whelen collection.

Definitely the most eclectic Whelen collection.

Very good find John! They will look awesome in your display room. They are obviously going to be functional for display, am I correct?

Yeah, I have 4 of them working now... and parts to do 2 more... then I'll hunt down the other two probably... but they will be functional when displayed.

Here is a pic of the ones that don't require a video... a video of the others is uploading to youtube now.

Great Score John!!

New video of the boards...
