IT'S HERE! California Steady Burn Headliner Mounted Light

[dmathieu]

Just found this. Thought it looked cool. Headliner mount.


Recieved the light today. Very nice!


To my surprise, it has a quick disconnect feature, where the light can be removed from the mount and wiring with a simple push of a button at the top of the shaft.

A classic!

I once had several of those which I purchased surplus from CA. I think they were used in Dept. of Justice cars. Good find!

Light arrived today, see top post.

An excellent relic! I can envision it rolling around the floorboard when it wasn't in use. As I'm an east coaster, I'd add a flasher though.

Very Nice Dan! great find.

Manufacturer?

 

[dmathieu]

Manufacturer?

It is a grote #6403 par 46 lighthead, but there is a sticker on the back, I assume the manufacturer of the unit, Adamson Industries, San Jose' Calif. U.S.A.

My son informed me that the Quick Disconnect plug used on this light is a (Switchcraft, as it is marked) microphone plug.

It sure is. Specifically it's known as an XLR type connector. They're used for a number of things in the audio/visual industry... most commonly it's utilized for balanced audio applications.





That light is a very fascinating use of the connector. I've never seen anything like that before!

I recently bought 2 Dominion Auto lights that were used as DJ lights and therefore modified to be connected with XLR connectors too.

Light arrived today, see top post.

Was that from the Cop-light people, Dan? Looks bigger than some of the ones I've seen that had the 4416 bulbs.

Hi Skip, no, not Cop-Lite, it has a par 46 bulb.

That the same connector that VASCAR units use... lol

Well, I thought it looked like a PAR46 in the picture. I'd bet it's bright through a windshield! I have a LED visor light that's nice enough, but what you've got would be nice: steady-burn or flashing!

Oh Yeah......It's bright!

 

[Skip Goulet]

Oh Yeah......It's bright!

I figured that! I saw a cop movie based in CA one time that had a very bright steady burn light next to the mirror. But it was square, like the newer style halogen fog lights, etc. With that design, I doubt that it was a sealed beam, but maybe a halogen bulb behind the red lens. Whatever......you could really see it!
