Here's 4 more videos that show the interesting power arc effect.

Someone beat me to posting my night videos lol

 

[JPolston]

Why'd you have to go and start this? PowerArc gets me a bit too excited. I'll send you the dry cleaning bill.

 

[Firefly Berlin]

Damn, one of these has to become a part of my collection. :yes: :drooling:

The new PGFD ambos have powerarc on them I will try and get pictures next time I see them

 

[Eric1249]

I love my Power Arcs

 

[Travelin Man]

We have two PowerArc's on the front, and a PowerArc directional arrow on the rear, of the new pumper that my volunteer company will be taking delivery of in a couple of weeks. I'll post day and night videos when it's in quarters.

 

[proudfirefighter]

Saw this on the recent updates in 10-75.net

Town of Watertown seems a bit redundant.

I love PowerArcs; it seemed like up until fairly recently I didn't see them in normal usage, but now I see them EVERYWHERE, although primarily as grill lights on ambulances and fire apparatus. I have to say one of the most effective uses of them I've seen was on a box truck providing roadside service for a tractor trailer on the interstate; they have a powerarc mounted on all four corners of the box and you could see that thing from an amazing distance.


I think if I ever have the opportunity/need to do a full, permanent install on my POV, I would have a set on a brush guard or push bumper. Awesome lights.

This may turn into my new favorite thread lol Our new Engine is all power arc. Tomorrow when I go to the station i will try to get some pics and videos of the lights, but for now ill just leave this pic.

 

[Marc M]

My old volunteer Engine. All PowerArc lighting.

 

[acala91]

This looks awesome! Only thing it needs now is a HLF.

 

[CrownVic97]

Besides Engine 71, is there any video out there of their halogen products? The LED line is great and all, but I remember a few years back when the PowerArc website had some videos of their halogen lightbars and surface lights. Never really get to see the halogens in action as much as the LEDs do.

Thanks. Here is a video before I got a new windshield without the tint. The HLF is a SOS with mult patterns. It is now on the slowest pattern compared to one in this video

Which ones and how many? I have always provided an ELB discount.

Not all of them, yet, but as they buy new ones, they do.


Also the new engines and towers do as well.

 

[mdlighting]

That what I meant all the new red stuff has powerarc

Look for video of the Pittsburgh FD apparatus with PowerArc on them, I believe they have yet to upgrade the halogen items to LED.


Also look for older video of Bladensburg, MD Volunteer Fire Company (Station 9) ambulance and engine video.

The St. Louis (MO) Fire Department used halogen PowerArc lights on their apparatus for a while. (Till recently, StLFD was an "all-quint" department without triple combination pumpers or non-quintuple combination ladder trucks, by the way.)

I like the halogen lightbars in some of the videos I've seen, but I've yet to run across one in person, so I can't comment on their effectiveness.

 

[Brendan11]

I live across the Mississippi from St. Louis and I have seen quite a few of the halogen versions. They are pretty decent for being halogens, but are no where near as nice as the LED versions (obviously lol). They still have some truck today that are still running halogens.

 

[Eric1249]

This video is a little better. I might be getting rid if this truck soon.

Same here. The halogen PowerArcs are the ones I like a lot more than the LED:thumbsup:. Now I wonder if there's anyone on the board that has a PowerArc lightbar or are that that hard to come across nowadays? I'd like to see that thread someday!

 

[Station 3]

all I know is those lights have always got my pee pee excited.... to bad they are expensive one day I will get some for my truck in red blue

 

[dawson75]

i want it!!!!!

 

[CodeMan]

I too love the look and operation of this product, but can't justify the $270.72 to the significant other to own one.... So I'll just sit back and drool... :yes:

Are you looking for a halogen bar or a LED bar? I can get a video of out 12 pod LED bar with FRC scene lights for intersections if you want?

 

[Brendan11]

Am I the only one who has thought about a Power Arc interior bar? With like a single row of moving lights and maybe some take downs mixed in? If I could access about 8 power arcs (haha yeah right) I thought about tearing them apart and seeing if I could make one.

That would be cool if it were possible. I can't imagine what that would cost.

I'm sure it would be a small fortune.

That would be nice but big and noisy lol

 

[Brendan11]

Yeah it would definitely be noisy but worth it haha :thumbsup:

Depending on the light head you guys want, I provide an ELB discount if it would help?
