Only drawback of these old rotating bars was the enormous amount of amperage draw they had. This bar has a total of EIGHTEEN bulbs and TEN motors. It looks like the four rear amber slots are using incandescent bulbs but the other 14 are using 50-watt halogen bulbs, 10 of which use a motor. Each light/motor combo draws about 4.3 amps each and that's a LOT of amperage for one bar (some had even more) compared to a modern LED bar which draws but a fraction of that. That said, I still prefer these old halogen rotating bars.
Very nice! I notice the most inboard blue rotator is different from the others. Both faster and I can see the base is physically different from the others. I’m glad they aren’t all fast rotators. I think slow (60 - 90 rpm) are the most effective.
I still use a code3 excalibur with working Amber x4 fast rotators, as well as alternating reds, including stop tail indicators, and custom strobes and cruise lights
Not anymore..,leds is improved and something new,they no longer support rotators its old now. Some stores sell used and new(old) rotators as well,anyway it was really nice,but unfortunately its old school now
Lightbars such as MX7000 and StreetHawk put priority lightning as primary unlike the unprotected profile of a Junksonic with a alley light blocking the blue. A T-bone waiting to happen. Now everyone is back to blocking the primary 360 warning with the same dickbrain alley lights on the new LED wonder bars. They who learn not from history will not only be doomed to repeat it,they also put first responders safety in jeopardy for the sake of cheesedick repetition richardheadedness.

I agree, imo MX7000s are the best Lightbars ever made!

Never seen rear intersection lights. Very interesting

Love it. Love that it's an OG MX7k. Dont see many of those these days.
Rotators still the best

Nice to see the workings. Well done.

Like it. One thing I'd change is swap out the center rotator filters.
I never though about putting the rotators that close together. I have a 4 section, and now Im going to add more to it.
I have a still working Excalibur amber quad fast beacon bar with stop tail indicator with alternating reds on my rangerover classic 24hr recovery unit
I’ve come from the year 1993 to request the return of this lightbar. 😀
You know where one can get the red filter lens for the rotators and the filters for the lower deck
How come there's no video anywhere how to swap the bulbs!?!?!?!?
Very nice bar. Looks like the one I sold. :-)
Where can filters be purchased?!
I’m trying to put in a blue filter for my intersection lights. It seems like I have to take it all apart to do? Is there a better way?
There is not, the brackets for the lights themselves help hold the filter in
Where can I get one
Now of course you know this means you have to buy a new golf cart right?
ชอบมาก♥️
