Welcome to "Code3Lightbars", my lightbar channel here on CZcams.
I am a big fan of lightbars and sirens. I own a collection and would like to share it with you through videos that I publish on this channel.
One of my favourite lightbars is the Code 3 MX7000. I always loved that bar, probably because of the shape and the two-tier sections allowing to have primary and secondary lights on two separate decks. I know that things have changed and that the future is probably full-LED bars, but I still love the old-school systems with rotators.
Let me know what your favourite lightbars by commenting my videos. If you like them and what I do, leave me a thumbs up!
Have fun watching my clips.

36" Code3 MX7000 lightbar - R/B/R/B/R/B
I got a lot of feedback on the previous video that I made of this custom bar, so I decided to make another one. Meanwhile I had swapped some colour filters to really have those upper clear domes make sense instead of having just filters of the same colour on every side under a clear dome. I really like it this way and I enjoy watching it working, it makes this bar be really colorful. I also really like the fact that it does have double intersection lights front and rear under coloured filters, something you don't see much.
I hope you will also enjoy this video as much as the previous one.

48" Whelen Edge 9000 lightbar BLUE
zhlédnutí 4,7KPřed 3 lety
I was able to buy a 48" 8-strobe Whelen Edge 9000 lightbar with blue lenses, except for the takedown and alley lights which are obviously clear. - Left and right corner strobes, flash alternately left/right - 2 front linear strobes, flash alternately left/right - 2 rear linear strobes, flash alternately left/right - 2 rear halogen flashing lights, alternating (the right one seems broken) - 2 ta...
47" Code3 MX7000 lightbar in BLUE-AMBER combination
zhlédnutí 2,1KPřed 3 lety
I currently own this 47' MX7000 lightbar which I like a lot because of the blue/amber combination. It has the following setup: - Blue outboard lenses, clear center section - 2 metal rotators outboard fast speed (55w H1 halogen bulb each) which is not common because usually on the outboard you will find the standard speed rotators - 2 metal rotators inboard standard speed (55w H1 halogen bulb ea...
47" Code3 MX7000 lightbar with LED bulbs

This is the first 47' MX7000 lightbar that I bought. It came with a short wiring cable and the following configuration: - Blue and red outboard lenses, clear center section - 2 metal rotators outboard standard speed (50w halogen bulb each) - 2 metal rotators inboard fast speed (55w H1 halogen bulb each) - Diamond mirrors on each side - 1 plastic center rotator standard speed (50w halogen bulb) ...
36" Code3 MX7000 "custom" lightbar - all clear domes with filters
zhlédnutí 28KPřed 4 lety
I bought this lightbar from another guy who also had a lightbar collection. He custom-built it from a standard size bar and cut off the frame to make it a mini MX in 36" length. Then he loaded it with plenty of lights. I was so impressed by his work and the light setup that I absolutely wanted this bar. It comes fully loaded with: - 6 metal rotators (50w halogen bulb each) with red and blue rot...
Is this bar for sale?
I had bed that would make that noise 😉
Thoes sweeps should be amber or white, too much color on one side looks off
Looks like a wolo light bar now lol
What bout hte brightness of the LED bulbs ? I've paused and saw that the reflector in not fully reflecting because the top of the buld is black plastic. You can see the black top being reflected. Since the full surface of the reflector is not fully enlighted, i'm afraid the light output is way lower than a halogen bulb. Did you observed the same ?
Как трактор
The halogens will always look better.
Now that is cool
i did the same thing with my clear dome 47" and the problem with making them every other instead of red on one side and blue on the other is that it makes a whitish purple color when activly running espessilly at night
How come there's no video anywhere how to swap the bulbs!?!?!?!?
I think that may be pretty close to the most features and complete "interior filter color coverage" you can put in a clear outer dome 36" MX!
The Queensland Police Service removed all the rotators, and replaced them with strip LED lights.
I would love to see this at night
Love it ! I also build Mx bars subscribed !
Love it
These lightbars had a lot of break down issues as did the Excalibur's.
The only thing that, in my opinion, would make this bar better is using a 710 flasher on the lower level light - I love that flasher!!
What is a 710 flasher?
You mean multi pattern 711 series code 3? It alternates between double alternating then simultaneous @@WilleJamesHuff
My favorite lightbars are these and the Excaliburs!
Very cool
What kind of bulbs do i need for led
i honestly love the rotator bars better than the led crap on the markets these days...
This is why I love the NYPD FS Vision SLR. They are LED but rotate and give “pop” effect
One of the best light bars ever made
Особенно смотрятся белые перемигивающиеся огни, которые резко зажигаются и тухнут, так как это диоды, но синяя полоска лишняя…
You have to use the same color LED behind the same color lens. Not white. This will brighten them up substantially...halogen or better level of brightness.
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
What camera do u have that is able to pick up the strobes perfectly ??
It’s all about setting the shutter speed on the camera so it’s slow enough to capture the full flash.
Do you have Dietz 711/211 lights?
Nice light bar there is a lot going on in there 😂
Now of course you know this means you have to buy a new golf cart right?
Didn't GSP Use this lightbar a long time ago?
Yes they did, my local sheriff’s office used them up until 2013
@@MegaUh That was a pretty cool lightbar, I wish they still made these.
@@x86_architecture10Whelen's modern equivalent is the Freedom 4, New York State Police uses them.
I love the noise but this led bulbs is weak
I put 5 watt LED bulbs in each unit on my Federal Signal Street Hawk in 2005 and it was awesome. I could leave it on when I blocked a road for hours and didnt drain my battery below 11 volts. It was at least as bright as halogen but the light was "crisper" looking.
Do you have a link to your bulbs as their quality may varies from ont ref to another.
Need something like this our brush truck lightbar is a mx7000 need brighter bulbs
Like it. One thing I'd change is swap out the center rotator filters.
Who's up for going back to rotator lightbars (& maybe even rotator beacons), but with LEDs in place of halogen or incandescent bulbs? (for reduced current draw, longer life, no heat, & probably brighter light output too) Heck from what I've been told rotator bars are supposedly _more_ aerodynamic than LED bars, probably because the bar being raised above the roof a couple inches allows the wind to pass both below *_&_* above the bar, compared to an LED bar where the wind can only go over the bar.
I put a completely re furbed MX7000 on my 21’ ford service truck. Halogen bulb still. Not worried about power since truck is always running anyway on the roadside
@@WilleJamesHuff Glad to know you for one still have confidence in rotator lightbars; seems like nobody does nowdays.
@@TheCarson116 Yep I’ll always run one as long as I have parts to fix if needed. And that shouldn’t be any issue because I have 7 various MX’s I can use for parts. Plus one whole complete working bar recently pulled off a retired volunteer fire truck that had pretty low run time.
They already have one. The Federal Signal Vison SLR
@@SkippyPB.Yes, along with the Navigator, but that's it: no other manufacturers are making any other rotator lightbar models (compared to when they were the norm some decades back).
1:07 please somebody make a song with this sound
Where can I find one
I have a similar one to that but uk spec and looking to set it up to battery and switches can you help? How can I contact you??
I never though about putting the rotators that close together. I have a 4 section, and now Im going to add more to it.
need 2 sets in solid blue 😉
Awesome!
Is it actually better though with LED bulbs?
Couldn't you used brighter LED bulbs or something? Like with more watts and whatnot?
You know where one can get the red filter lens for the rotators and the filters for the lower deck
awsome
Yes
These wont ever come back. Way to many moving parts which are prone to breakdown.
I have the exact light bar but not the led lights how do you power for display ???
Damn those pretty...
Remember banging on them in the winter nto get them working
