A zip tie that you can cut off with your fingers by giving it a quick twist? Yeah, welcome to the 21st century. Made by Ancor (a sister company of Blue Sea Systems), these are about 2-3x the price of a regular zip tie but we've found that it speeds up our installations by much more than the...

Hi all, We are looking for a Model 11 lightbar in blue/blue. It's for a movie shoot (don't know which movie). We occasionally get approached by movie folks for obscure parts. If you have such a bar that you're willing to part with, let me know what you want for it and we'll pass it along to...

If you are not familiar with Tecniq (http://tecniqinc.com/), they are a Michigan-based company that makes what you could call "auxiliary" lights. They started off making "DOT" lights (turn, clearance, signal, running, brake/tail ) and related lights for trailers and cargo bodies, etc. Over the...

I thought you all might like this. We did up a 2009 X5 for an anti-gang unit here in the Vancouver (Canada) area. It was quite a project. Most lighting is Federal Signal (Micropulses, etc). There are also a number of Feniex Cannons on it. Siren is an MS4000U with an ES100 speaker. Viper S2...

For those gamers in the crowd, Need For Speed 2015 is being released on Nov 3. I thought you might find it interesting that the game is using Unitrol siren tones, as well as Rumbler tones. If any of you pick up the game, let me know what you think of the tones.  We worked with Electronic Arts...

FedSig announced a couple days ago that they will be upgrading the firmware in the SSP3000B Smart Siren Platinum sirens to include a wide variety of new features. They have added 8 of the Unitrol tones, plus handsfree and some other features. See PDF for full details... ...

Hi all, We have a project to light up a BMW X5 (2009, I think).  It needs to have emergency vehicle (police) capability for the very rare traffic stop, but they also want it completely lit for parades, school show-offs, etc. The officer I met with said they want it to 1) look like the...

Hi all, We did a few of these vehicles recently for an Ambulance customer.  The vehicles are 2015 Durango SSV's.  They are slick-top and used as a low-profile vehicle for small communities.  They are not needed for emergency blasts through intersections in busy cities. Decals are done by the...

Hi all, We have a customer who has a Whelen Cencom Gold and the amp has fried on it.  They would like us to source a new amp. The part # on the current amp is 01-0284302-02H so whatever we get it would need to be the same as that part #. I'm not overly familiar with the Cencom lineup so if...

I'm trying to find the impedance on an SA315P speaker for some calculations we are doing for a customer.  I do not have one of the speakers here otherwise I'd measure it, and I don't see the number in the Whelen specs anywhere. Is it an 11ohm speaker, or something odd like 5.5ohms?  Does anyone...

Hi all, I have a police department who uses handheld tethered (plus in to the 12v power socket) spot lights in their cars.  They are looking for an LED version that is rugged, bright, and tethered (not rechargeable or battery powered).  I've searched everywhere I can think of so I'd be very...

Just announced on the FS website... http://www.fedsig.com/pdf/MU537_MicroPulse_Wide_Angle_7-14.pdf I saw a couple prototypes in March.  They are extremely good off axis (and I mean at 90 degrees to the front of the light).  They are not tiny lights, but have a mirror system in them that...

Federal Signal has announced the newest generation of "Dynamax" speaker; the ES100C .  It will be available for ordering Aug 8th. The ES100C has a composite body (same stuff as the AS124 housing) .  It is about 30% lighter than the ES100, and is also 2.3" thick instead of 2.7" , which is nice...

Hi all, We are looking at possibly carrying the FLIR brand of Thermal Imaging Cameras (TICs). We have had a couple requests from local FD's about the new FLIR handheld TICs. I know people use the term "FLIR" to mean any thermal imaging camera, but I'm talking about the actual FLIR brand (as...

I have a customer looking for a light similar to a Vertex that they can surface-mount on a vehicle. They want it to run steady-on white or amber , then be able to switch to a red/blue alternating flash. I have some dual-colour Fenix Cannon lights here and they are great, but does anyone know...

I searched but didn't find a previous post on this, but the 2014 FedSig police and fire catalogs are online now... Police; http://fedsig.com/files/2014_Fderal_Signal_Police_Catalog1-2-14.pdf Fire; http://fedsig.com/files/M130_Fire_Catalog1-2-14.pdf There are, of course, a lot of...

Hi all, I'd be very interested in hearing feedback from professional upfitters on this board re: factory upfitting of police vehicles. By that I mean Ford supplying Ready-For-The-Road packages, etc. What we've experienced here is that quite a few of the police agencies are ordering these...

Hi all, We have a number of local police dept's who have purchased the Ford factory-upfit emergency equipment, only to be very shocked when the have to replace a part that isn't under warranty (due to a crash or other reason). It is one of those "we tried to tell you" situations. For...

Hi all, I'm looking for information relating to NFPA standards for clothing that you would wear UNDER your turnout/bunker gear. Specifically, shirts. I know a lot of FF's wear cotton T-shirts. We have an alternative, but I would like to know if there is an NFPA standard that these shirts...

Hi all, I have a customer who has a couple Whelen Howlers and is removing them from a Crown Vic and wants them put in their new Charger police interceptors. One is a 2011 and one is brand new 2013 (hasn't actually arrived here yet). I'm trying to find a part # for the Howler speaker...

It popped up today..... Pages 33 and 36 are the interesting ones. Addition of a dual/tri-colour Viper S2 single and dual, and a lower cost version of the Viper S2 (single colour). Also the new Spectralux ILS' are in there. Other than that, basically just some additional brackets and stuff...

Just a quick FYI - the FedSig SLR single-pod LED rotator is now available in red as well as amber. They haven't made it public yet but it's not a secret either. List price for the light in either Amber or Red is $499, of course street price will be well below that. Sorry it's not "Stuart"...
