[emti309]

I am currently looking at a Signal Mini Phantom combo pack which has one dash and two deck lights for just under $300.00 Here are the specs. Buddy of mine has the dash light and loves it thought it would look nice. Going to use the Galls brand siren with remote switch so no bulky box just a small switch. So let me know what you think and show me some pics of what you guys have done with yours. Thanks:thx

Diablo03 had a similar thread a while back. You can check it out HERE (http://forums.trailvoy.com/showthread.php?t=45632&highlight=strobe)


That may give you some more ideas :yes:

Well the most I can do right now is plan as well, but this is what I have come up with equipment/wise...

Whelen HHS2100 Siren
Whelen SA315P Siren Speaker
Whelen Strobe Kit Hideaways S690

And when the permit comes through, a few LIN3's in the grille/glass.

The idea will be to flash an X between the park and reverse lamps in the rear and the highs in the front. I've got a sketch somewhere...

:iagree:

That's exactly what I thought when I read it. my set-up is in there.

[Bthracer21]

Ill just copy and paste my post from that thread into this one...
The camera isnt fast enough to pick up the flashes.
But here is what my lights consist of:
Grill lights are run from a Sho-me flasher and they are Sho-me lights.
The dash light is above my rearview mirror, that is a Sho-me as well.
The rear lights are custom done by me and they are wired into the same flasher as my grill lights. Any questions just ask

A few pics to start out with...

I have been outfitting vehicles with sirens and lights for over 10 years now and i will say this..."GO WITH QUALITY RATHER THEN QUANTITY!"

you can go out and buy 30 strobes that are from autozone and put them in as hideaways in all your lights and spend about the same amount as you would on 4 strobes from whelen and a power pack that are designed to be used for what your using them for. Keep this in mind.. The number one thing drivers say when they get hit by one of us going code 3 is "I DIDNT SEE HIM" or "I COULDNT HEAR HIM" dont become a statistic! spend the time and money to outfit your vehicle right. I personally recommend that anyone that responds code 3 in a urban enviroment use a 200w siren. many departments around me require the use of lightbars because we are in a urban enviroment. I personally think this can get extremely ugly! Especially if you see a 2000 chevy comaro going down the street with a fobus bar on the roof.:dielaugh:

I totally agree about about the quality. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for.

ta hell with it i give up. was trying to post a photo of my light set up...its not working

[Uzd12]

Came across this thread last week...... Here are some of my pictures.
*I will post the pictures later when I can figure out how to resize them. For now, the videos are below.

I am the Assistant Captain (or Deputy Chief - depending on your naming convention) of my department. We only have one command unit, so I consistently use my truck to respond to scenes and do other squad work.

So far, I have a Double-Blue Talon in the Windshield, with Blue LEDs in the Grill. I have a strobe pack installed with four (4) corner strobes. The rear has a Blue LED Lightbar, custom made from these Chinese blue LED's that were on ebay for about $10 a piece or so. Also, I have a Motorola Maxtrac VHF Radio installed, and a Carson Volunteer Siren installed.

The truck also has a full medical bag in the back, and some misc. tools and turn out gear.
