jph2 said:I thought these were a cool design when I first saw them, figuring it was fuel efficient and gave adequate warning, though not of the caliber of a Federal Signal bar. Apparently the warning power was less than adequate, judging from the pics with full bars on top of the Collins roof system.
lotsofbars said:I like it, it's reminiscent of all those 70's-futuristic ideas that people were thinking up so often.
ERIC6913 said:These ideas are still in full production through out the UK and Europe. Integrated warning systems can be effective and efficient if designed properly.

CrownVic97 said:I've always wondered who the world made that particular ambulance lighting system! I remember one of those Collins ambulances used by the Mercer County ambulance service in the early to mid-90s (yeah, even that young I was infatuated with blinkies and woo-woos:crazy. It was definitely this Collins system right here:
Very cool info on these Collins lighting systems, John:thumbsup:!

lotsofbars said:Lenox Hill Hospital also got some new Sprinter ambulances with the same style front light setup. It's very bright and very effective.
mdlighting said:All of that open space and the biggest light they used was a 600 or 700 series really and there is plenty of room left in that roof for a few more 600's. oh and what's with the Linz 6's in the grille really how about 2 more 700's they will never learn that when it comes to lighting size matters

Skip Goulet said:Any idea who did the conversion on the Sprinter?
Wheels said:I saw this on eBay today and noticed the roof of the ambulance. There are lights integrated into the front of the roof behind a tinted lens, just below the Code 3 lightbar and also to the rear of the van. They state it's a Horton conversion but is this a custom thing that Horton did at the time or is it part of a Collins roof?
By the way....I love the style of these old vans.
