What is the best rotating mini light bar for the price?

I am looking for rotators over strobes. I like the projection effects of the rotators.

Thanks.

I spent my hunderd bucks on a federal signal (FS) I'm happy with the light output.

Same here. I bought a federal signal highlighter. I paid a little over $100 for the suction/magnetic mount.

I wonder how many of you look at application. I have both the strobe and the rotating lights. I have found that in commercial areas the rotating light reflects off the buildings better and gives a great heads up if someone is around a corner. In my residential areas the strobe is nicer because it doesn't linger in the rooms as long.:) It's not as irritating apparently.

I have a Federal Signal FS2000 mini-lightbar with 2 rotators and optics len. 150FPM rotators. Super bright output and very quiet because it is belt driven. One of the brightest mini-lightbar I have ever seen! :cool:

I use an ECCO 15" minibar

I got an ECCO 5135 Evolution Lightbar. It's also belt driven, very quiet, 430fpm, but it pulls about 9amps. I paid about $130 for it.

I got 2 highlighters. They have got to be the brightest minilightbars because they have the largest reflectors and give 80,000cp per rotator. I also have a new code 3 mini 420. Havent used it this year yet though.

I have a twin beam rotator- Aerostar- that I got off of E-bay for $35 dollars deivered. There was a little damage from UPS, but nothing I couldn't fix. The unit was brand new! Look around- it will take a while to go through all of the lights, but it's worth the time.

Another vote here for the Highlighter. It's definately bright and cheap.

Thanks for all the great feed back!

How about the Federal Signal FS-2000?

I can get one for $102 - is that good?

Thanks

Just an update.

I ordered the Federal Signal FS-2000 and they agreed to pay the shipping. Believe that!

It came today and I put it on the truck as soon as I had time. It looks great! I'm happy with it and would recomend it to anyone. It's very bright.
If Snowjoker stops by, I'll have him take a pic of it and post it here.

(Thats if I can get him away from the towns Osh-Kosh):D

I got a chance to try out the FS2000 this weekend in the storm and I am very impressed with the performance of this unit. It is extremely bright and effective. I am very happy and 100% satisfied with it. I won't be afraid to buy another one of them. :cool:
