Im looking to buy a 10 inch navigator from the Federal Signal website with no rotators, just quadraflares. What is the minimum amount of power required to operate the bar?
I have been using LED light bars since they came onto the market. I personally still think the halogen rotating lights like the Force 3 LP 6000 are more 'eye catching' after using them I would love to try a LED light bar with rotating LED's like this bar. And my first bar lights were TwinSonic's with sealed beams back in '88..
The Federal Signal product line rocks! Sadly, Sirennet doesn't list all that many items from fedsig. They seem to be partial to the Whelen product line. I order from the 'M.P.S.' for this reason. It's too bad because Sirennet offers Paypal Credit which I prefer, but that's just the way it goes.
What I don't understand is that, why don't they simply position the LED bulbs into a circle and program them in a way that they light up one after one, giving the "rotating" effect but eliminating the mechanical rotator?
SIRENNET While you're right about they do things in different ways, it's a fact that wear and tear cause mechanical parts to fail, so rotators are inherently less reliable. Whelen's light bar you pointed out achieves or at least is capable to achieve exact same goals with no moving parts. Or maybe Federal Signal developed some proprietary technologies to make rotators resistible to wear and tear...
You need to look into the technology more. The Rotators in this bar are magnetic drive, not a plastic worm gear/hobby motor like older halogen bars. They have a 5 year warranty on the rotating mechanism. As far as the effectiveness of the rotators go, if you put a bunch of LEDs in a group and just sequence them, the light is not NEARLY as bright because you only get 3-4 LEDs facing you at any given time. With the SLR, you get 12 focused into a narrow beam so it is MUCH brighter than any 'sequenced rotator' on the market. The SLR rotator by itself meets Title 13 Table 2 and is the only LED beacon to achieve that.
Mark Yager Thank you for your explanation. It makes much more sense now. I am not against any type of lighting as long as they work out well, just don't want agencies spend tax payers' money on things that don't last of are not effective.
+SIRENNET So sense you could flip flop the rotaters and quadroflare modual could this bar be made to look like the old federal signal ardynac light bars? The one with the flashers on the ends and rotaters in the middle? The ones used on the Dukes of hazzard (Americas show) Also could you show one big enough to fit on a squad car? Like Taurus or crown Vic?
+Brandon Hess If the Bar is long enough, you could open it up and make some rearrangements to get it similar. We'll be showing larger sizes as we get our hands on them.
The Navigator series LED lightbar is still available - we just don't have the page for it on Sirennet.com any longer as it was tough trying to have different lengths and configuration options. For the current price and help placing an order, please email or call us - info@sirennet.com. Main Phone Number: 503-670-4700 or 888-959-0911.
i had about three years ago sugested to FEd SIG an updated version of the aerodynic LED lightbar with a system like this seems like they are getting closer to that soon rotator aerodynics might make a comeback! and that awesome
We're working on some page updates. In the meantime if you have any questions about this Bar, please contact our Sales Team by calling (888) 959-0911 or emailing - info@sirennet.com.
Is it possible to get this 25" bar configured to have the SLR Rotators in a dual/multi color blue and amber on two different power wires? So if you power one wire you get blue warning then if you power another you get amber warning and have it not flash both colors at the same time. I think the Vision SLR can be configured this way, but I am not sure if the Navigator can be.
You can have them in dual color, positioned on the outer sides of the Navigator. You can set up trigger wires so amber and blue run separate from one another.
The FS Vector light-bars are still commonly seen throughout New York. There configured in Red and White (clear) to the front and then blue filters are added to some of the rear reflector/rotator pod's for the proper rear facing colors.
Hi Stephen. Our helpful Sales Team can provide you with pricing. Depending on how you'd like to reach them, please call (888) 959-0911 or send an email to: info@sirennet.com. Hope to hear from you soon and thanks for watching :)
That's not good to hear. Have you taken a look inside to see if the assemblies come loose? Did anything fall on top of the bar that may have pressed in the plastics?
+Austin Schmitt Hi Austin- That's a great question for our Sales Team. They can be reached at: info@sirennet.com or if you'd like to speak with them first hand, please call (888) 959-0911.
+Matt DeWitt Thank You. Federal Signal's Navigator line of Light-bars is very, very impressive. As they do see quite the engineering process and are configured according to the size and Module styling, the Pricing does vary.
If we get one in, we'll try and put together a presentation. With the 9M light-bars having given way to the current LED platforms, the new bars are really all that we work with.

I glad to hear someone from Oregon and Portland is my home city and I can't believe how light bars have change since I was a volunteer fireman for St.helens Oregon. I started in 1984. I was a volunteer fireman for St.helens Oregon for seventeen years
