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) with half cylindrical red filter and flat mirrors
- 2 front intersection lights (50w halogen bulb each)
- 2 front flashers (50w halogen bulb each) with takedown override mode
- 2 rear flashers (50w halogen bulbs each) with red colour filters
- 2 alley lights (50w halogen bulbs each)
I made the following modifications:
- Replacement of all the halogen bulbs with LED bulbs except for the alleys and the center rotator
- Added 2 blue Code3 Optix modules in the center section, one to the front, the other to the rear
My opinion about the LED upgrade:
The Optix make a great job and are attention-getting. The LED bulbs in the outboard rotators are not bad, those are 6W bulbs. The inboard rotators have smaller bulbs due to the H1 socket so they cannot really compete with the original halogens.
In the lower section as long as there is no colour filter over the assemblies the light output is also not that bad. However the reflector assemblies have have been made especially for the halogen shape bulbs and therefore cannot entirely reflect the light of the LED bulbs. So instead of having a light beam that is narrow it will be more wide, which results in losing effectiveness at distance.
I will post more videos about those LED bulbs.
