School Bus Warning Lights in Blue?

[Reliable Radios]

One of my police department customers had a school bus donated to them and they would like to replace the red and orange warning lights with Blue LED Lights. Does anyone know where I could find these?? I know sound off makes replacement LED lights in Red/Amber but I have never seen Blue in that size.


Thanks,

How about Weldon lights?

I was gonna say try sound off, but those lights could be trucklite, grote, peterson, ect.


Is there a brand name on the len's of the red/amber?

Why not put a 900 series over the hole from the previous light

Weldon makes most sealed beam school bus lights. They make halogen models in blue, but not LED. I have not been able to find a par 46 blue LED. You may have to either go halogen or as suggested put a new light over the hole.

Chief won't go for it, already asked.


I will check of Welden... guess he will have to go halogen or nothing at all.


Thanks for the quick responses

You might try Baader-Brown in Springfield, Ohio. They manufacture all kinds of school bus lights

could always take off the red and amber lights, and put blue ones in the place of them.


IF they make blue lenses though

Might be easier to just throw some blue lenses on there and install a new flasher or even keep and mod the existing one.

If they are Weldon lightheads, I have some blue lenses for sale that would work. If you can take a pic of them, it would be helpful.

John; Weldon does make a replacement in LED for school bus. They have created a series that has replaceable LED's in it. Look at the catalog online you will see the entire school bus line. School bus and ambulance lights | Weldon an Akron Brass company

Where can you buy these green lens?

 

[zacmtz7]

If you got deep pockets you could buy the dual color whelen par46 spotlights. That's give you blue/Whi and some scene lighting. But at 215$ a piece 1720$ to retrofit all 4 8-ways.

Remove the current set of lights, cover up the holes, paint the area, then put a 74 inch XL5000 on the front, a 74 inch XL5000 in the rear, and you're good to go.

They should put the money in to something in the grill area or a headlight flasher. When you get close behind someone, they are not going to see the lights up there. Perhaps you could retrofit some hide aways into where the lightbulb goes and use a clear lens. Im not sure how bright it would be, but if the reflector is good, they should be decent.

Write, phone or e-mail them. See if they sell direct to public or ask who distributors are.
