Sho-me sells them in strip form and by the inch, check with Station House Products, I believe he is a dealer of them. They are okay in brightness, Of course, there is always the route of calling Whelen and requesting the pre manufacture leds, if your good with a soldering iron. Heh


CHART
If the lights are out when you leave the station and then come on the second you key up, you know you have enough power.

I got 25 5000mcd leds on ebay for $0.01 + $5.00 shipping from Hong Kong. They make many different colors and much brighter as well..

go to Radio Shack and get some circuit boards, then calculate the kind of resistor you need for 12v application and you are done..

well then goto http://www.rimindustries.com and buy the sho-me led flasher for a whooping $20. Cheapest led flasher I've ever seen

Yes, Sho-Me does make the LEDs by the inch as well as several other types of user installable LEDs. They also sell thier low profile lightbar without any internals so you can build your own bar. We just ordered everything to build a custom bar with both the Hyper Brites and some regular linear LEDs for flashers and an arrow stick (TC) on the back. Soup to nuts, I can sell this type of bar with the following:

4 corner sets of Hyper Brites
2 front inboard Hyper Brites
2 front linear LED flashers
take downs
alley lights
8 lamp linear LED arrow stick (TC)
Arrow stick (TC) controller with 12 different patters

$2,650.00 complete in blue or green Hyper Brites and shipped to your door. Red or amber bars would be less, naturally. I will get some pics up when we get some time to complete the demo that we are building.

OK, as promised, here is a pic of what the completed bar is expected to look like.
