SOLD Federal Signal 48 inch Vista strobe

[Lux Ferous]

For sale or trade Federal Signal 48 inch Vista lightbar. This bar has eight upper-level strobe heads and six lower-level red Gen-3 LED’s modules (two in the front, four in the rear), halogen take-downs and alleyways, and 1 man down blue LED module. The lightbar has eight available flash patterns can be programmed to each mode input of strobe heads. Lightbar is in very good working and clean condition. It has a long cable for the different features of this lightbar and for fast easy positive/negative hook-up. Lightbar is located in Schaumburg, IL. Due to the size and weight of the lightbars I would prefer local pick up. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm asking $165 for it, if the price is too high or too low, please let me know, I am open for reasonable offers. I live in Schaumburg, Illinois in the Chicago area. Thank you.

Man Down Blue LED Module is located in the back of the lightbar on the passenger side, it's a steady burn blue LED light. Applying 12VDC to the Gray wire will activate the man down function.

Also known as the "hostage light" by Ohio State Patrol. The option was present on jetsonics, edges and even in the lower deck of their lackluster vista. I believe it has been replaced by emergency functions of the mobile/portable radios.

Forgive my ignorance, but where on the bar is the man down light and what does it look like illuminated?

I recall another name for this light from few boards, and several years, back: the duress light.

"Hostage light" is what it was labeled in the Whelen Ohio State patrol drawings. It was closer to purple than blue when it was incandescent. With the standard features on radios the the ideais basically obsolete, but it was an interesting idea back in the day. I believe they were on the Jetsonics, Edges, and Vistas.


Whelen- Hostage light

Ohio ''Hostage lights"

I picked up a bunch of Edge bars in Ohio a couple weeks ago & most of them had the purple-ish hostage light mounted to the rear center black sections. I was kind of wondering if they're rare as I've only ever heard about depts. in Ohio using them? & are they worth anything? I have probably...
