Lightbar Highlight: Code 3 MX7000 Custom Flasher

This video is about my Custom MX7000 Flasher bar. I get a lot of questions about this one. As far as I know, there is no jurisdiction or municipality or department that uses a blue/green combination. For those of you who have been long-time subscribers, you might recognize this bar from some of my 2013 videos. Since then, I have changed the bar around quite a bit. In the 2013 video, the bar was red/blue, and the upper level was halogen as well. Here is a link to that video:

I wanted to make a bar that was nothing but flashers, rather than rotators. I got the idea from Sean Sutherland's Edge 9M, that had a ton of random flashers in it, and I liked the look. When I upgraded this bar after the 2013 video, I decided to try out the colored LED bulbs for this bar on the upper deck. So I outfitted this bar with SIX MX7000 rotators, and just disconnected the motor. On the bottom, rather than using the smaller 5-hole reflector/lenses, I used the larger, 6-hole reflector/lenses that are usually used with the Traffic Advisor. All of this is powered by FOUR Code 3 700-series flashers... three 700 units, and one 710 (for the different flash pattern). They all have the steady override hooked up, so I can 'pause' the flashing of the upper or lower level independently.

As you guys know, I really like unique bars. While an MX7000 is certainly not a unique bar by itself, I think the color combination along with the flashing method makes this one a perfectly odd fit for my collection :)

Thanks for watching!!
