Where to get minature version of a police light bar

Recommended Posts

We just got a great deal on a fire engine bed for my son. I'd like to put a red and blue light bar on it, but I only need one about a foot long and it doesn't need to be near as bright or heavy duty as a real lightbar, and needs to be AC powered.

Anybody got any ideas?

Maybe Spencer Gifts or somewhere like that? A Froogle search for "police light" brought up a lot of results, but it's mostly the single light, not the bar.

If it's a fire engine, why would you want to put a red and blue light bar on it?

Fire engines are white and red, unless I'm mistaken. Ask Seakev; he plays with those things all the time...:ph34r:




It depends on what part of the country you are in. When I moved to CO I was blown away that engines and ambulances had
blue lights. Now that I am in TX I see the same thng here. When I was on the east coast all I ever knew was engines
and ambulances with red and white lights and blue lights were for police only. I've even seen city utility trucks with
blue strobes on them out here. I've been around the change for 4 years now and still not used to seeing blue lights
whenever I have to run code three.

Oh, well that's good to know! Thanks! Maybe I will be spared the depression of envisioning a hefty fine when I see blue lights in my back window in another part of the country...

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

Europe. They put them on teeny-tiny cars there.

As to the blue and red thing, in CA the red light tells people to pull over to the RIGHT. The blue lights just tell them they are being pulled OVER by a cop, not just to move right and stop, like they are supposed to do for an ambulance (prounounced am-BUH-lants), or fire truck.

Want to make some easy money? When a cop is roaring up the shoulder with the lights and siren going and he's on your right, at the last minute pull right, like he's ordering you to do, and let him/her T-bone you.

It kills me to watch shows like COPS and the officers are weaving all over with lights and siren going.

They don't have them in Ac power varieties, but there are adapters to hook ac power up to a 12v dc and it includes a cigarette lighter style plug. CHeck your local radio shack. Then mosey over to galls.com
