3 Pod Cuda LED Vector

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.

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.

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 :)
