Some say it's ugly and stuck in the past, some say it's obnoxious but actually I have seen these in use in NYC and they are very productive. They are bright, they "pop" like old halogens and they get the job done and done well at that.
I like many people here in the comments really wanted to have seen this thing completely lit up. Would have rather seen that then the close up 2 or 3 times there at the end.
Really wish this bar was still for sale. They did another video of this bar years ago outside on an Audi & it was amazing. Sadly they overpriced it & it didn't sell well. I'd buy one if they were still selling em.
Why did he tease us, then not show the money shot, with the ENTIRE light-bar lit up? High school girls loved to do that after winning a football game, we’d eat pizza then they’d offer a handshake while you’re dropping them off at their house at 2am.
Green is primarily used to identity Fire Command staff and some states allow it for Security Vehicles. It is also used on snowplows and some agencies have it as a part of their front facing warning colors, in certain states.
@@warhawk3136 I agree with that somewhat, it needs to be large to allow for that circular design on the ends, which were pretty innovative and would be great on a smaller scale with other bars because of the intersection protection.
Why wont you sell me the rotabeam ive been asking for years for you to sell it to me. Are you selling this bar or are they making it again? I would do anything to buy this bar from you guys. Please sell it to me.
You may already be checking, but if not eBay and elightbars.org are what comes to mind for places to search/watch for this lightbar. It wasn't around for too long, so finding one may prove tuff. Best of luck and thank you for watching!😀🚒
You never demonstrated the bar with all the rotating lights in operation. Have you guys given up on RU-vid because the amount of content on your channel has dropped considerably.
being honest led "rotator" lightbars aren't that efficient, legit rotator lightbars are more efficient and they are brighter and let off a glare which can be seen for a long ways unlike LED
The "rotators" don't actually move. They are Whelen's proprietary Rota beam lights. Imagine the Rota beam heads as LED beacons that illuminate to mimic rotating lights of the 90s-2000s. The dead space could all be filled with more Rota beam modules and the bottom level more 500 series heads. It is bulky though, but if you need a giant bar, this is it
@@Carterthielftw_ Might be good for fire applications but not L.E. can you imagine the drag and wind resistance and the noise you would hear during a hot call or pursuit. Would be absolutely horrible
@@justanotherguyonyoutube9755 thats why its not designed for an FPIU. a scaled down version would be pretty neat though becasue the the shape is actually very practical
@@mr.animation5259 interesting, I don't think Code 3 has a huge market share in the US, they dominate Europe though. Now that I think about it, isint Star Signal owned by Code 3?
