ECCO 7660 Hybrid LED Rotating Beacons

[CodeMan]

This is an interesting beacon. The impact tests are enough to make you cring, see the attached videos.

we have a few local cities using them on their public works vehicles.

Not a bad light., I had one.


Inexpensive option coupling LEDs and rotating lights.

thats great and all, but wheres your review?

 

[LLS]

I dont see how that is brighter then the standard halogen bulbs.

 

[JohnMarcson]

Not a review. Moved.

 

[CodeMan]

I have spoken to a few of the staff that use this lightbar, they like the longevity & brightness of the LED's and the unusual look of the rotating reflectors. As you can see from the videos they appear very durable and are decently priced.


(Sorry for placing this in the wrong forum)

Now that is an impact test........

Wonder how hard these would be to swap into an MX7000?

Too big I think. If you're lucky you might get one in an XL, but even then I think it's probably too tall.

Can you see the Dash or roof beacon manufacturers lobbing the lights accross a parking lot or parking a car on the light to test durability? (Cringe)


they are bright, and brighter as you move farther away..

That's defiantly one way to test a light for durability :haha: Them running over it reminds me of the Magpul Pmag test when the drove over the magazine with a full size Chevy truck. Wonder if they got the idea from that :undecided: A lot of the DOT trucks in my area are using these and i like them. I personally like the LED rotators. I know some people don't like them because of a LED bar having moving parts but rotators, in my opinion are the most effective especially the newer LED versions. I really hope Code3 brings something to the table with the MX or Excalibur platform.

True the new Vision is rotating LED, so it would figure others will follow suit..

I'm actually thinking a set of these in Red & Blue with clear lenses would look good on my truck....

I have seen this lightbar run in pairs with a space in the center, it puts out alot of light!!

I believe the Ecco came out first.

I've been curious about these for awhile so I just picked up one off Ebay NIB for $35 in red, SAE Class 1. This little sucker is a blast, weighs almost 2 1/2 lbs, cast aluminum base & thick Lexan dome just like in the torture test video. The instructions say it will run on 9 to 28 volts, so for fun I ran it on my kitchen counter during dinner, using a little 9V radio battery - try that with just about any other rotating beacon. The "motor" is magnetic drive and the light comes with a 5 year warranty.


This would make a great light for a landscaper or anyone who parks all day and needs to leave their beacon running with the engine off. They claim the base is a heatsink to keep the LED's cool enough after all-day operation that it will still meet the SAE intensity spec. My particular model in red draws 1.3 amps at 12 volts, that's low enough to run off a truck battery and not worry about starting up at the end of the day. Can't speak for the amber version or other colors but I'm really impressed with this one, kind of surprised they haven't caught on more.

AH HA! This past winter I saw the most amazing spectacle - a 4 rotator light bar with LEDs. I was curious who manufactured it! 4 LEDs with rotating mirrors.....it was AWESOME!


Of course the truck also had some stationary LEDs in the grille...but the light bar definitely stole the show.
