Whats the "standard" light size used on the front grille of ambulances? (normally mounted above siren speakers)


Got a few burned out modules on one of our busses, and I just want to make sure I ask for the right thing before posting a want ad.. :lol:
 
I'm gonna assume that you have CPI speakers...? I think they are similar to Whelen 700/73 series lenses... But I'm not 100%, especially since I don't know the exact speaker/light combo you're using...
 
the normal size for the US is 3x7. Those are 6x4 Tomars' in the pic.
 
On some of the newer ambulances they do 500 series. Do a measurement of the lense HxW that should tell you.


Are the lightheads a standalone unit on the grille guard or are they built in to the grille? (or other)
 
I've seen 7x3 lightheads used (mostly Code 3 or Whelens), but on some recent vanbulances we got, they had LIN4s or LIN3s. They're used for transport only and don't even have lightbars (three 900 series super linear LEDs, which is enough). I thought that was a bit weird, but I guess it met minimum KKK requirements.
