3 Pod Cuda LED Vector

[ChargerLighting]

I've spent the last few days on this thing. I cut the frame down from a normal Smart Vector that had cut cables & more assorted problems. The LEDs & brackets are out of a FedSig Raydian that I parted out. I didn't cut any of the brackets, just drilled holes in them.


Federal never used this type of LED in their 3 pod Vectors; they always used Solaris LEDs. They used 3 modules on each outboard pod - from what I can tell - one facing the rear, one facing the front & one facing the side & 2 stacked in the front center.


Mine is set up the same way but with 2 facing each side instead of one.


I'm not done with this one yet, I have all the wires pulled but still need to order new domes, a LED flasher & have to put magnets & a cable on it.


I was also contemplating angling the top LED modules on the outboard ends if space allows.


Here it is as it sits now...

I was hoping to run a 27 pattern sho-me flasher in it; which I don't have yet.


My plan was to put all of the left pod & the lower LED module from the center pod on the left flasher output & the rest on the right output.


I'd LIKE to run a Whelen flasher or 2 but I'd more than likely have to buy 2 of them & they're not exactly cheap.

Can't wait till you get it finished and post a video .

Looks very cool man...

It would look sweet with CHP spec.

You should mount the upper modules on the end pods at an angle for intersection coverage.

let me know when you want to sell it !!!!

Hell yea, i'd buy that faster than you can say sold!

I tried angling the top modules; they wouldn't clear, so I left it as-is. The flashers came in, so, hopefully it will be alive & working Monday

Just curious, not familiar with the Raydian LED modules, what is the amp draw on each LED module. Remember, the Sho_me flasher is rated 3 amps per side.

Video please!

I forget the rating, I did look it up though. I know the blue were more draw. *Just checked, amber modules (9 LEDs) draw 0.78 amps each.


I have 1 sho-me flasher in my arjent running 12 modules (all red).


I'll try getting a video when I get it done
