I've been tasked with updating the lighting packages on our engines at my department. Currently they have Whelen 64 Series strobes. I'm needing some ideas as to what I can replace the already existing holes and mounting locations with LEDs. I thought about replacing with Feniex T6s, but they would not be in a housing and just wouldn't look right. I know Whelen makes a replacement kit for the 600 series that can be fitting to fit the existing holes fromt he 64 series strobe housings. Any ideas you all can come up with, I'm all ears..
Replace Whelen 64 Series Strobes with LEDs?

Feniex T6s do not belong on a fire apparatus. The logical solution would be to replace them with Whelen 600s but I am not familiar with the 64 series heads so I do not know if the 600s will cover the holes. I'm sure one of the Whelen experts will be along to shortly and can weigh in on that.
If the 600s will work for you, you can use the existing strobe cable to power them and connect them to a flasher.

I would strongly recommend sticking with Whelen too. I would go with the largest Whelen LED lighthead model possible that will properly fit the existing 64 series openings, use the existing strobe power cables and connect them to a Whelen external synchronized LED flasher unit. Good Luck!
