Im getting into rebuilding myself soon, just need to find a bar to start with and go on from their. One question i had on these amber lenses, it seems like I’ve seen a amber or yellow tint and then a orange? Is this right or am i color blind? LOL!!
No, you are correct. There are yellow lenses and amber lenses, and orange lenses. Just depends what color you want. Technically, all of them are called amber, but they aren't all the same color.
Rob D thats what i thought, even with the whelen edge 9000, have noticed the difference, ive been looking into Rangerservices for maybe a first whelen strobe bar build. Do you know anymore places to get parts? I just dont like LED’s, have been around strobes most of my life in utility work and i honestly think that strobes are brighter.
@@rawblow4512 EBay has some used stuff like lenses, strobes, and power supplies, but buyer beware. They are all used and most have been misused so the usability can be questionable. I have bought from Ranger Services and they are great to deal with, I recommend them. They also have new stuff coming in all the time so check there website twice a week for new items. As for which is brighter, strobes or LEDs, it depends on the strobes and LEDs. 100W strobes are brighter then most of the Generation I, II, and III LEDs. The newer LEDs on the market today are the next generation and can produce a flash that exceeds 1000 lumens, or a 500watt strobe. They also do this with less than a third of amperage of a 1990s strobe bar.
Rob D hey good deal with ranger services, I’ve been watching some of their videos as well. Wow i had no idea the LED’s were getting that bright, i would think those would blind drivers on the highway? Here in oklahoma we have started letting highway construction, road maintenance and tow trucks run red and blue in the rear of vehicles and amber/white in front. Thank you so much for your info!
Hey I have the same light bar and controller but I don’t know what to get after that as of wires and how to program it
Watch my other videos, and there are some others out there too. They will give you a good idea of what needs to be done to get it running.

Would you be able to build me one of these?
Sorry, I don't have any more light bars.
