Here is the squared cop-lites, i had over 50 sets of these back in 2010 from LAPD> I also have red glass lens that are from federal signal that have the FS logo that fit these lights. I think federal use to sell the cop-lite lights under their name, also the Federal Signal Motorized mirror lights I believe are someone else lights and just branded Federal Signal. Someone correct me? Also some styles of the shroud where held in place with a spring warped around the back of the light head instead of being held in place by screws.

Pulled a shot from the video, I'll see if I have the film to pull a better quality picture from.
Yep, found it and here it is:
And for any evil bastards concerned with copyright issues, fair use bitch!

Are these lights that you still have for sale? I like that single with the shroud. :yes:
Dan, if you still have this can you possibly send me some photos, as these are gone obviously.. Thank you!
I think it might be good to clearify for new readers that the lights from both the EES-Coplite and the Federal GL-1 and GL-2 together with some other companies in the 80s used lights from the Japanese manufacturer IPF.
The closest light they manufacture today is this.

IIRC the FedSig motorized light lens was wider than the reflector portion to accommodate the motor inside the light housing
Adamson was in San Jose, and also in So. Cal... And as luck would have it, I just took in a Grote 6403, so some progress!!
The light in the video attached is not the light we are talking about. The one in the video is a spring loaded flip down CopLite.
I can vouch for that back in the day. Very ungainly sitting on the seat, and roll baby roll, where is my damn red light, shhoot.. its on the floor... ......
That is the light I remember back in the day. Ours was hot wired, so it just a plug into the socket.
