I just obtained a 3x7 sized dual twistlock reflector housing that had a single strobe bulb in what I though was made by Whelen, based on the seller's only picture and description. Turns out it's not, and I need to try to find out what make, model, or type it is so I can get another bulb for it.
The housing is 3x7 in size and chrome plated and has a hole in each outer corner to fasten a lens to it and mount it to a surface. I tried a Whelen and a Tomar 3x7 lens on it and both fit it perfectly. It has two reflector compartments of equal size with holes in each that accept twistlock bulbs, but my Whelen and Code 3 twistlock bulbs don't fit or lock into the hole, as it is slightly larger that both of their base's diameter. The back of the housing has 4 thin hollow plastic pieces with small holes protruding from the areas near the corners that appear to accept small screws to mount it from the rear. The helix strobe bulb that is in it has a black plastic base, with bright white sealant on the back around the three wires, but no stamping or markings. The male 3 pin connector on the end of the wires is identical to the type Whelen uses and there is a factory printed paper tag on the wires that reads AB-0804 but it has no other writing.
Sorry about not having pictures, as I know that would help immensely, but can anyone tell me exactly what make and model I have by only using this description? It's definitely not a Whelen, Tomar, or a Code 3.
Thanks in advance for any help.
