star makes some too.. its not very common. I as a dealer will never ever buy any of it because I sit on it too much. I bought replacement strobe tubes from star and have been sitting on them forever. Cost was almost $30 each as a dealer. Even marked down to $20 each losing money, I don't sell them often.

So they are probably broken now that you've been sitting on them this long, and the broken glass has probably left some cuts.... Ahh well.. not a fan of star ones, I want my whelen ones back, or someone needs to start producing them as they are 1000% more reliable then my LEDs. And SHO-ME WHAT? they had their day and it ran by them... But that's just my opinion, and you know what they say about them!

you need to look at sho-me again. sure they stick with product lines for a long time, but they are still a really good strobe system maker. They've got some pretty good new LED products out there that other companies dont make. dont sleep on them yet

So just for clarification since people will take this post too seriously. They are not sat on and have been in a proper storage bin. They are the ones with the weather proof connectors and honestly, I've been pretty content with their longevity.
