Biggest rotating beacon made?

[ur20v]

Were there any rotators made with 5, 6, 8 sealed beams? Any photos?

I've seen the occasional three-bulb, but nothing larger than 4-bulb models.

That's the most bulbs that I've seen, 5, in a 184 housing.
I think the biggest beacon that I've seen is the Trippe Lite 4 bulb PAR46 beacon. Huge housing. The same Trippe housing was made with 4 PAR36 bulbs.

Didn't that custom beacon with the flood lights under it that raised up have 5 or more bulbs. I know HURST rescue vehicles had them. There was some photos on here somewhere.

Unity has the RV-46 with 4x PAR46.

Unity no longer makes beacons, but Tri-lite still makes 2 beacons that are 12 inches high & 12 inches in diameter.

I believe that's the Stem-Lite and I do believe that they had 5 sealed beam bulbs per beacon.
