I know the same sentiment was probably thrown around when the Aerodynic was introduced, but where do you folks predict will be the next major advancement in emergency lighting? Other than a few minor additions developed over time, there has not been any significant changes in the last 10-15...

Hey folks, Just inherited a fleet of maintenence trucks decked out with $30 Amazon specials - time for an upgrade. Since I'm really only involved in the collector community, what's the top-of-the-line in mini bar technology these days? I'm assuming LED brightness probably maxed out about 10...

Thanks to a member of this board, finally got a chain-driven JS1. Something super unique about this design that uniquely combines esthetics with functionality. Two hours of wet sanding really cleaned her up nicely.

Jdh was thorough, thoughtful, and extremely diligent in ensuring my buying experience was top notch from first contact through to receipt. Guaranteeing you'll have the same experience with him. Thanks for the 'Sonic!

Hi Folks, Looking for a Federal Signal Jetsonic lightbar. Any color combination except amber. Doesn't have to be mint, but also nothing that can't easily be cleaned up. Must ship to Canada. Appreciated. Adam

Been watching a lot of "To Serve and Protect" (Canadian version of COPS) lately and keep seeing this lightbar show up on the Edmonton PD cars. I cannot seem to identify it. Almost looks like a TurboBeam but it has the black gaskets between the lenses. Help?

Finally took the plunge and invested in my first "real" vintage beacon. Prior to this I've really only collected lightbars. Just a run-of-the-mill 17, but you've got to start somewhere I guess. Wet sanded the dome and tried polishing the base. Couple questions: - How do I know if I have an...

Anyone here have video/photos of the Federal H.I.D. Spectra System? It's the system with the fibre optic-like "pipe" setup with a single bulb powering multiple lightheads. Seems like it was interesting in theory but probably a poor performer in practical use. Can't seem to find much out there...

All, Entertaining a Beacon Ray posted locally. Model 17 manufactured in '63 with glass red dome. Seller claims it oscillates, but was this an option on the 17? Not seeing it in the Beacon Ray guide here on eLightbars. Also, fair condition - where would you value this? Thanks

There just doesn't seem to be nearly as much traffic or activity on here as there was 15, 10, or even 5 years ago. Where has everyone gone? Is it a lack of interest or another platform?

Hello, Does anyone know if there is any affiliation between Star Warning Systems (SWS) of Ontario, Canada, and Star/SVP? They both seem to have offices in New York state.

Wow! It's been years since I have been on this website or even looked at my lightbars. Last week, during a trip back to my home city (on the other side of the country now), I went to check on my lightbars in storage. Really got me pumped up for the hobby again. I just feel so out of touch with...

Tried searching for this, but can't seem to find reliable answer. Considering starting beacon collection, looking for value before buying. Federal Signal Beacon Ray: Model 17, Serial 2R...., clear glass dome, r/w bulbs, appears to be good condition. Thanks!

I know it's just a Twinsonic, but I found this on Buffalo Craigslist for just $20 so I figured that made it notable. Red/Red Model 12, Series A1. Motor stamped 1974.

Picked up this MEAH-TT for cheap last weekend. Came from a craigslist ad in Buffalo. I'm pretty sure it's an NYSP spec bar, but it's lacking the "NYZ" marking found on Eric's EAH seen here: http://elightbars.org/forums/f18/my-restored-aerodynic-new-york-spec-7298/#post234156 Anyone know if...

This brand predates my generation. Just wondering if they were ever sold/used up here - trying to assess my ability of actually finding these products in junkyards or whatever.

Here's an inquiry regarding a recent curiosity I've had. I'm just wondering how professional airport fire service personel spend their days when accidents at airports are rare to never. I know that training is constant, but I question how firefighters employed by these services can spend years...

Is there any way to get these lightbars to fire without the serial controller? Considering one for the collection - not for service.

Obviously not at par with some of the more financially established members of the board - but it's a start, and I finally got them mounted on the wall this morning. So here it goes: PSE Force 4 LP: Basic 5 rotators, R/W/R Code 3 MX 7000: Loaded with Arrowstik, R/W/R Federal Signal LAPD...

Can anyone guess the weight on an Lapd Aero for shipping purposes?

How do you guys clean off tar and scuff marks from domes without ruining the plastic?

Who makes this TIR4?? It's got number FS06112203 stamped on the back of it but I don't see a make anywhere. Gen 3 leds.

Hello... Want to set up an MX7000 in LAPD specs. How are these things put together? Tell me all you know. Thanks!

Hello all. My collection is small but is still taking over my floor space and presenting a tripping hazard so I'm looking at wall mounted options. What do you guys use to mount your lightbars on the walls? Need something semi-pleasing to the eye and obviously strong enough to stay on the...

Can't find a comparable review...so what's brighter/performs better? Axixtech tir 4 or Whelen tir 3? I'm aware one has an extra diode. They are in green, if that makes a difference.

Okay, it's been a while since I've been here, so I don't know if this is REALLY the correct section, but there is something I've been meaning to ask... ...Why is it when I approach a police unit with a red/blue LED lightbar (local police use red/blue Liberties) the blue light seems to be...
