That vans Spanish Bomberos spec vector is...... interesting. Not sure I like it though. Hard to tell in the video with capturing strobes. It’s along the lines of the LED vector, not overly impressed.

Now that Spanish policia vector with CIE domes is a beaut!!!

I’ve never seen the smaller 5 pod set up before VS the more common 7 pod versions seen in the US. Was the 5 pod version mainly a European lightbar or was it ever used here in the US?

Where do you get most of your bars? They are all very unique
By the way, what's the difference between CIE blue domes and regular blue domes

CIE Blue is a darker blue commonly used in Europe, particularly with rotator bars. LED stuff tends to be the same blue as is found in the US.

As for how I get Europeans bars, there isn't a single answer to that, but it more or less comes down to building contacts with European collectors I come across (be it through ELB, FB, or even eBay), checking in with them every so often to see if they have leads on bars I am looking for, and, when something comes available that I really want, not nickel and diming too much.
