My First Tomar (aka the two ton wonder)

I recently got this Tomar bar.


Everything works except the rear center blue/amber halogen flashers (burnt out bulbs).


Looks like one Rect 37 was replaced. And I need to clean the len's a bit more.


I call it the two ton wonder because it's very heavy. heavier than a vector bar.


There are no decals or tags on this to tell me what model it is.

My thoughts exactly when I got my first! damn heavy! great looking bar, these things kick ass! its just a 950N, thats the model number. The N stands for neobe, L LED, H halogen. if i recall correctly, the 5 is for 5 lights wide.

Ok, Cool. Thanks


Tomar still shows the strobe ones on their site, I just hadn't looked at it as closely as I should've.

Those things do weigh a TON . . . I traded mine for a bunch of stuff not too long ago to someone who actually uses it on his POV. I would have kept it, but it was just too heavy to be reasonably transported from room to room in my house. And the guy offered me some great stuff in trade for it. Enjoy it, they're the best strobe bars!

I bought a mini version from a member a while back and I love mine. It's not the best looking lightbar however it's got to be one of the best strobe lightbars I've had! I can recognize a Heliobe right away. Not just because of its bulky look but because of how the strobes look when activated. It definitely has that look of neon, as Tomar mentions and the Never Dark mode is amazing.

Very nice, got a Red/Clear/Amber one from Sarasota FL FD siting down there waiting on me to bring it home with me.

I think it is a 930N. I had one I just gutted from Lake Mary PD. I also have one that is all blue and is all strobe. And ya they are heavy. I like the fact that tomar made it standard for a traffic director pattern for the rear of their bars.

I have replacement parts if need be. I parted out the exact same bar last year.
