Ok - don't laugh at me too much, but I work on cb & ham radios from time to time and saw a "similar" problem with a cb radio where they install LED's and the channel display glows when the power is shut off because LED's are so energy efficient. The cb glowing issue was caused because the power...

Positive purchase from shues. Jeff is wonderful, replies to messages quickly, very polite, friendly and helpful. The amber filters, PSE/Code 3 LP / LP6000, I bought from him were packed very, very well for safe shipping. The filters were mailed and arrived quickly! If you buy from shues you...

Elightbars --- you can close / lock this post -- I was helped by a wonderful Elightbars member with finding these filters. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I'm trying to find filters like these, but in amber color for a Code 3 LP6000 light bar. I need two of these if possible. Thank you!

Oh, gosh -- I feel dumb now. I misunderstood what that was, didn't realize it was just the siren. I thought it was for the older Vision bars. I'm sorry! If I run across anything on the older sirens like that I'll surely post it for you.

I'm trying to start with some basics here. I know you said you had stuff wired up correctly, but I'm just curious about a couple things I just thought of while driving around at work. Do you have the smaller sized brain box with this older Vision? The older Vision I have has a smaller sized...

I'm at work right now (ok, I'm at work, but looking at light bar stuff). When I get home I will look around because I think I possibly might have a manual for that controller -- or it's the manual for the older vision with the signal master -- but it's older like yours. I have an older Vision...

Hi everyone! I'm just curious if anyone knows of a way you can test the Vision light bar "home sensors" that are located in the back of the pods to see if they are good/working or not? I bought some used home sensors and I'm wanting to test them, if possible, without actually installing them...

Hi everyone - I've been interested in buying a Whelen Advantedge (halogen) (full size) for a while now, but haven't seen many listed for sale. I'd like to find a red/blue version. If possible I'd like to find one with alley, takedowns, etc if they came with those options. Just seeing if...

Here's another possibility from Los Angeles Craigslist....looks like two Jetstreams and two arrowsticks for $125.00. Not a bad price for all those. https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/for/d/anaheim-amber-lightbars-traffic-adviser/7267787117.html

Not sure if you use EBay, but there are some on there for $35.00 or best offer and free shipping. It says he has more than 10 of them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Whelen-Piercier-Used/164256724135?hash=item263e76b4a7:g:PtAAAOSw6Qde7-0q

The gear I mentioned that gets hot/brittle and breaks over time isn't the worm gear though, it's the gear with the metal arm in it. (I haven't had a worm gear break yet. The worm gears are the ones actually on the motor shaft.) That gear (with the pivot holes in it for the metal arm) is hard...

Might be easier to find the TCL for sale on here. There's a guy on EBay that has 10 of them for sale, supposedly NOS, but he wants $200.00 each! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Federal-Signal-Aerodynic-Lightbar-TCL-Traffic-Control-Light-New-Old-Stock/313190431679?hash=item48eb9abbbf:g:jtIAAOSwuqNf4kAl

Here's the email I received from Federal Signal when I was trying to find replacement oscillating gears for the oscillating pods. (They still sell domes according to this email, too.) The price for an oscillating pod is actually $143.00. You might be able to find the traffic clearing lights...

That's actually my YouTube video above that Police-Jimmy posted for you, the FS oscillating pod. Is that what you're looking for? Some Vector and Smart Vector bars came with those in the center pods. The gear gets brittle over time and breaks. In my video I replaced the brittle/broken gear...

Please take my advice worth a grain of salt...I've never wired one of these up, but I found some instructions for a SmartLogic flasher that says wire it up to the battery basically. Negative to negative battery terminal then positive to a 40 amp fuse block to the positive battery terminal...

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention other websites, but I found three Jetstreams in California after a quick search. One, new in the box, is on Ebay and is located in San Diego, but he wants $635.00 for it. Then, on Craigslist there's two of them under the Los Angeles section, one is for...

This is an old thread...but maybe he still has them for sale? Here's the link for you: https://elightbars.org/forums/threads/rare-code-3-mx-7000-smart-sweeps-takedown-alley-sweep-all-in-one.73215/

One day, like when I win the lottery, I hope to buy one of these lights and add it to the collection. I've seen these on EBay for $500-$900. (I'd love an Aurora Borealis Mars light, too!) Hey...a guy can dream!

You're welcome! I hope it helped!

Sorry I'm blabbing so much, but my guess is someone couldn't get a Vision programmed or maybe parts on the Vision went bad so they 'converted' it to how it is now so it was usable. Here's the Vision "smart" pod and stepper motor visible, too (underneath the metal frame and no tooth gears). All...

I think it was a Vision in the beginning then someone did a "custom" job on it for some reason. I think Jennifer Rose Towing is correct, it looks like Code 3 rotators (or some other rotator) screwed down in position. (Not how Visions are made at all.) In the Visions, all 7 pods, have the...

A search on Federal Signal's site of "V7PSS-SM" brings up to manuals for a Premium Vision light bar controller, but I personally haven't seen a Vision like your pictures. Have you taken the triangle shaped cover off to see what kind of boards are inside? Usually a Vector is regular motors. A...

Thank you! You always help with stuff and I appreciate it! I'll take a look at it! I hope you have a great night!

The guy I purchased it from just wrote me he said to just "tap" the purple wire to the red/positive to change the pattern. He buys surplus lights and sells them so wanted to make sure before I tried it and fried something. You say touch it to the ground though. This is why I wanted to make...

Hello! So I usually don't buy LED lights, but I ended up buying a pair of SVP bumper/grille lights. The guy I bought them from has it marked that the purple wire is for "pattern". The question I have, what do you touch the purple wire to in order to change the pattern?? There's not a model...

I've never programmed one, but have you seen this video on programming one? He talks for a while, but about 6 minutes into the video he shows programming steps. Might see what he's doing compared to what you are doing. (If you're using the same controller??) If the video doesn't help maybe...

Exactly, that's why I was wondering if you had a picture of the actual lights. The standard motors look the first picture below and the "smart pods" look like the other pictures. If that light bar only had the standard motors it's a vector. If it had two of these smart pods it's a...

Ok, thanks! I've never seen one wired up like that. I'm not sure how that would work on a Vision since Vision's have the stepper motors and home sensors and stuff. Interesting! Thanks! Sorry for being nosey, I like light bars and try to learn as much as I can.

solidamber, Usually in a vision lightbar are three circuit boards that look like this picture below. Like Jennifer Rose said, that lightbar you have is totally custom. Is your lightbar a Vector, Smart Vector or Vision though? (I'm just curious.) Do you have pictures of the lights? A vector will...
