North American/ Unity lightbar "The Beast"

[plybeep68]

This is first attempt at uploading a video, so i hope it works.

I purchased this set-up from the Roan Mountain Volunteer Fire Dept in Carter Co Tn, Bought it 5 years ago and haven't even cleaned or serviced it. They had it mounted on a mid 70's Ford Tanker i believe. It was built by C.C. Clark of Johnson City,TN. He was a full time officer and sold equipment/ installed them in his off time.

I like it. (Even though you don't see much of the center light due to the bug scoops on each side.)

The NA's still seem to have lots of pep.

Awesome! Hey, does the Unity Beacon suffer from hang-over syndrome? ie. Does it eventually speed up? I have had many, especially the 2 lamp versions start at a crawl and then after a few mins are up to full speed. :weird:

Yeah, when i speed up the engine it would spin a little faster, should have replaced the burnt out bulb before i did the video

I wonder what make and model of siren was used with those speakers when the truck was in service?

Very good video of "the beast." Those NA Sig beacons are fast for 3-bulb runners!

Nice! Brighter and more effective than some of the Chinese knockoff LED lightbars of today!!!

Holy amp draw, Batman!!!!!


Very effective, but I do think the center RV-46 is a bit of a waste due to the speakers flanking it.

I agree. It looks good forward and back, but the speakers defeat side warning. Maybe a Federal 184H would do the trick to stand above the speakers.

That is awesome...nice lightbar! It's great to see videos of these lights in action, rather than the usual picture. Is the far right light amber or is it just a faded red dome? I had something similar with a Visibar but without the speakers. I'll have to look for the video but here's what it looked like.

Hey Wheels, that is pretty cool looking....

 

[plybeep68]

the far right dome is red, faded from all the years of setting outside. That Federal set-up is sharp. Do you have a video of it in action?

 

[stansdds]

That's a pretty sweet modified Twin Beacon Ray bar. Looks to be a Federal 143 in the center. :thumbsup:

 

[Wheels]

Thanks guys, yeah that setup looked sharp when all the lights lit up. It did have a 143 in the center. I saved a lot of videos of my lightbars on different memory cards. As soon as i find it...I'll post it.

If I'm not mistaken, the center light is an RV-45...but I want to know more about the MoPar in the background!

Thats my 1968 Plymouth Road Runner, I have owned since 1982, Its been modified a little from stock! lol, It has a 440 bored .030 over, It also has a six pack set-up. behind all that is a 4 speed and 3.91 gear in the rear end. It used to have a 383, but i blew it up one night racing out on the interstate back in my young and dumb days. The picture i have posted was taken back in november. I thought i would see how it looked with a blue light.
