I always have loved my old FedSig firebeam - especially with the mirror. Anyone ever think about or try sticking a LED beacon in with a multi-flash mirror? I've seen some retro fit led rotator - I think it was a dashlaser. But curious as to how a LED beacon would look with a mirror increasing the flash rate.

Keep the Firebeam. The vast majority of LED beacons with a "rotating" flash pattern do a piss poor job of replicating the same effect that halogen rotating lights have. The Firebeam is a very capable light, especially with the mirror.

+1 the led rotating beacons aren't that great!

Sorry guys, I think my idea was lost in translation. I was just curious as to how it might look. I agree about the rotator flash pattern especially when compared to a firebeam. Just a thought.
