    Areodynic with the sealed beam bulbs would be good. They aren't super noisy and not terrible on power usage. Or anything with LEDs. There is no sound and very low power use. Anything with rotators and halogen bulbs are going to be noisy and take lots of power. In the video the fourth row. The top and second one down. The all amber and red/blue are the sealed bean bulb style. Those would be my recommendation for what you are looking for.

    They should work either way. I'm not sure 100%. But I know the car i got the gauges out of wasn't a premium, and the my color works in my car. So unless they did something different for certain years, i would say they should work either way.

    My first patrol car had the Federal Signal (second from the top on the left). I hit an owl once, and it damaged the speaker grill in the middle. The mechanics zip tied it back together. Having the speaker right above your head sucked, and I remember the constant whirring of the motors vibrating through the roof, not to mention the battery drain. Fast forward, and LED's became the thing. So to be retro, I bought a blue "tear drop" light and put it on my dash. I got more than a few laughs from newer guys that had never seen them before. Good times.

    They're noisy for sure. Im a volunteer fire and our grass truck or brush truck they are called both. It has an old code 3 on the roof, and that is all you can hear if the siren isn't going. The new leds are cool in their own way but will never have the same charm as an old rotator.

  • @FLBased
    @FLBased5 ай бұрын

    I forgot about the popping, whine sound of the strobes. We bought the strobe bars, but only fitted a handful of our cars with them. They discontinued them pretty quick because they were expensive, and just didn't last. I didn't see it on this guy's wall, but we had a weird, oval shaped one that had the bobbling "intersection clearing" light in the middle. So, when it worked, you could hear the bobbly, rotating sound and the clicks and whirs 😂. That thing always broke and was more like a lazy eye, and the strobes always burnt out so half the bar didn't work. I only drove one car with those because it was on one of the spares when my cruiser was being worked on. I think the only good side was it had a traffic, merge- direction bar under it. ​@@Nervegas

    If anyone wants my boring lighting information lol Fluorescents are closely related to these. These Xenon bulbs are also a form of HID, still in use on many cell phone and TV/radio towers. They instantly turn off and on and in this case strobe. They’re closely related to metal halides, which are basically mostly used for stadium lighting. Mercury Vapor, also a form of HID, are the bluer, sometimes blue/green/grayish versions of metal halide. Their advantage is they last longer than metal halide, I believe. High pressure sodium is also HID. Those are the notorious orange street lights. They made the most lumens per watt, but their color temperature could make it difficult to see a whole lot, and especially make it hard to see color, as they’re borderline mono-chromatic.
