Code 3 Excalibur lightbar questions

[cromwell]

Hi folks !

I have just bought this used Code 3 Excalibur strobe lightbar and have some questions.

1. The lightbar has four strobe outlets but only two of them seems to work, could I have connected something wrong or is the powersupply on it´s last days?
(The control wire harness is missing from this lightbar)

2. One of the strobelights are bad, can I use a strobelight from a Whelen LFL bar that I have laying here? I guess black is black and red is red but trigger is white on the Whelen light but the trigger has got two wires on the Code3 light (one is a very thin wire).

3.How many lights can I connect to the lower halogen flashers?
At the moment there are four flashing lights...and I was thinking of turning it into eight flashing lights. Can the flashers handle so many lights?

You may replace the strobes with dual stack C3 X6 as I had one of these before LED's took over and loved the lower intersection strobes and the mixed in rotators, but the upper strobes were not bright at all as they were non existent during the day and minimal at night. C3 has never had a decent strobe light and so to make it more visible at night I took the covers off the strobes and ran them clear with R/B rotators. The Excalibur is my all time favorite lightbar and I would love to build and mixed bar out of one.

the LED modules from the Code 3 2100 are a direct replacement for the flashers or strobes in the lower deck of a Excalibur.
My Excalibur project that I am just finishing up has 2 3-up Optix Modules between the Takedowns and Intersection Sweeps, and 1 6-up Optix in the center pod. This bar is meant to switch between Blue(cuortosey, Regular FF) to Red(Chief, for when I fill in) in under 10 min. when I swap it to Red, It has LEDX modules between the Sweep and TD, and in the lower center.
The Arrowstick was swapped to LED modules, and the outer rear corners are going to be Blue Feniex T3's.

This thread shows my conversion of a Excalibur lower to a 2100:

and This thread shows some of the conversions I have done to Excal's:

Love the fullsize with the 6-up Optics in the corner. The other is a fun one to do yourself, but I prefer the old meets new.
