Agora Models FDNY Tower Ladder 9 - Rebuilt Roof Lightbars

After completing Stage 30 of this partwork build, I took a swing at rebuilding the roof Lightbars (they have been bugging me due the limited amount of light they put out). Turns out the stock model uses tiny red SMD LEDs on a PCB that shine up through clear LED-shaped domes.
I ripped all that out and used diffused 3mm round LEDs in red and white instead. These new LEDs had their domes sanded flat and have been wired with an alternating strobe pattern so the clear center Lightbar takes on the appearance of a Opticom-type traffic-signal triggering light found on many fire trucks.

What did u use for power?

[@MarvelPhx]

It is powered by a USB plug.

@MarvelPhx can the battery pack with USB adapter work for the mods? Also what mods are done to the rest of the rig?

[@MarvelPhx]

@moosedfd1 If you mean the onboard AAA batteries, possibly but not for long.
