Shiny Whelen 80H / 90H

[Pimp]

Shiny Whelen 80H/90H rotators are few and far between... So I figured I'd share them when I came across them! :razz:

Wow, very clean, they look new. Interesting design too.

Those are the 90H type reflectors, also known as halo beams because of their design, and they reflected light in both directions, providing double the usual 80-100 FPM flashes and giving the impression of a faster spinning rotator. The 80H type reflectors were an enclosed megaphone shape and only projected the light signal in one direction.


I ran across a box of a dozen brand new 90H rotator reflectors in the unopened factory packages a few years ago on eBay for a really good price. It was really nice to see and an even nicer treat to hold such hard to find vintage items in NOS condition. I no longer have them, as I sold a few individually and a charter member of the original elightbars board got the remainder of them.

Those double sided rotators were also used in the 77H beacon. The cone shaped single sided were used in the 33H.

So I just got one. Saved it from the brink of the dump. All I had to do was pay for shipping. It has the same rotators, and I'm seeing people say they're rare... so I guess I should really work on cleaning it up then huh?
