Federal Signal SLR led beacon Amber/blue Engineering sample

[deelony]

Bought this light on ebay  about a week ago. I was expecting it to be a amber only beacon but it has blue as a secondary color. It has 3 rotation speeds of 75,90 and 120 FPM.

Also where the model number would be it states

"This unit is an engineering sample intended to be representative of performance only. Production units may vary with regard to design and material"

I'm sure this was a sample sent to a Federal distributor or similar company. There are a lot of these samples out there, even three color versions. Now the hunt is on LOL!

 your right eric, he left federal signal out of the name simply listing it as a slr beacon

stay tuned for the next gem...

 

[ERIC6913]

No worries mister, I have one of those gems too, and mine is new. That gem is called a "Street Heat" and is made by Wilburt for federal signal

This might be the most jealous I've ever been of an eBay grab!! Super cool find.

Sometimes it pays to peruse eBay and sometimes the "Buy it now" price is actually a good thing to use.

I can't even find that on completed listings- what was it titled as?

slr rotator beacon - amber

A nice meld between a rotating and an LED light.

Why hasn't FedSig put these into production? They already make single SLR beacons and they could charge a premium for multi-color models. Imagine a red/clear model in front of a Firebeam mirror!

That's an awesome light! I actually saw that and almost bought it.... I just didn't know enough about it at the time to justify spending the money. It's actually still in my watch list haha!

Great Buy!
