Hello all,


The boys at B&B are need of some assistance. We we asked by our EMS department to install some equipment on our dive truck. Its a Chevrolet C4500 box truck converted to carry passengers and equipment in the rear. It has some of the emergency equipment already installed and needs some additonal and clean up done. However we have a hang up. We have a good idea on how we are mounting the warning equipment but our issue is mounting scene lights to the box. We have several Whelen 9E series halogens we can use. They want the lights mounted high on the box but angled down. We are looking for suggestions or ideas or if there is a part we can order for these style lights. They have a bunch of "home made" angle mounts made that wont fit and have no way to mount to the box.


Any ideas are welcome!


Thanx BJ

Whelen has, or used to have, the Opti SceneLight (13 or 26 degree angled optics) which, I believe, took the place of the old Scene Lights. Check out the 900 series snap-in halogen heads page.

That would be good is we were using 900 series lightheads... But we're trying to keep cost down as much as possible, hence us using the 9E lightheads that they already have laying around. I have found replacement clear lenses, but they have standard optics... I have yet to find any type of angled flange kit for that light.
