I might be getting a Mini Edge bar, and I'm thinking of making it LED (mainly for something to do). What LEDs are the "right" fit for edge bars? I know most will fit, but which ones are really suppoed to go in them?

600s are too big.
400s come standard in 9M bars
700s will fit as well
or anything smaller will fit if you make a custom mount.
TIR3s, LIN3s, LINz6s, XT3s, XT4s, XT6s... the possibilities are endless...
if you have the black filler plate (that they use in the 9M in place of a lighthead) you can mount any surface mount LED lighthead to it that doesn't stick out too far.

Thanks for the additional info. Does anyone know of a place that sells the corner modules at a good price?

Just seen some red Freedom corners on ebay at some decent prices in pairs. It was two seperate auctions.
I would need blue ones, but thanks! I think this project is going to cost more than I thought so I may not do it now.

I would imagine you have to change out the strobe power supply in the bar for an LED board right? Might want to factor that into your costs.
So long as the LEDs are passive, they could install whatever LED flasher they wanted. Most aren't that expensive, either. I just did a homebrew LED package for my paid FDs rig. It's a Freedom setup with all 6over6 400 series modules and 6over6 Freedom corners and it's ran by one Sho-me flasher and one Whelen ULF44.
hello, we have updated several of our edge and advant-edge lightbars to LEDs. The whelen 700 and 400 model lights work the best. The 600s will not fit in the edges. Also this project can get very expensive. We were able to pick up 20 whelen super 700s off ebay without internal flashers for 500 bucks. If we had bought them new it would have been around 2,000. Now i have a question for anyone who may know... Where can we get the edge (freedom) corner LEDs. Also do anyone have any idea what they would cost. I have called several different places including sirennet and they dont sell sell them and didnt know anyone who did. thanks for any help.
I have a mini 9m edge. All red stobes 2 in the rear and 2 on both corners in the front i have2 lin 3's and 2 linz 6's that are super bright the only thing i want to add to the rear are 2 lin 3's amber in the middle rear of the bar..
I have a blue mini Freedom for sale. Priced at the equivalent of buying parts and assembling it yourself, except if you find a very good deal.

How do you install 700 series in a 9M with 400 series? want to upgrade mine, but dont see how to do it?
Never mind, was confusing them with 600 series. see how now. 700's are 7" long..takes space of 2 reg 4" modules.
