STL K-Force 27" Linear Light Bar

My all-blue STL K-Force 27" Light Bar. I think I'm the first to upload a video of this bar on YouTube.

Anyways, to answer a lot of questions I've seen raised in comments:
- Yes, I have a reason to have it. No, I'm not allowed to tell you.
- Yes, I have a permit.
- No. It's not for sale.
- You can get it from www.speedtechlights.com. It's not cheap though. They did a product line refresh and it turned out to be the most expensive half bar then, and even more so now. I got it just before the price went up to what it is today.

@monkey050 you know its crazy when i read it in the newspaper, you know why the firefighters? But i guess it is what is and a simple i phone app changed law thats the craziest thing ever

[monkey050]

@chevyman360 According to someone I know who moved to PA several years ago who was in the fire department where I live, dash lights weren't allowed technically in the first place. Could you send me the article so I can send it to him?

[chevyman360]

i just ordered one of these because in PA they just outlawed dashlights because some punks pulled over a off duty cop by using an police light app on there phone so we have to take the heat for it which is bullshit bc i have to spend another 300 out of my pocket but on the bright side i think it will be worth it.

@chevyman360 WOW. Are you freakin serious?! A state law over that? That's a pretty hefty change - that affects ALL volunteers. I think you'll start seeing more snails and dual-rotators on roofs since they're cheaper. I'll have to talk to one of my friends in PA and ask him if he heard anything.

Thats cool I got a beacon but hopefully getting some of these

[chevyman360]

@monkey050 Yes they were allowed for years until like a month ago the state police really cracked down and outlawed dashlights which its stupid when you think about because everyone should know our police lights are blue and red. I see no reason to outlaw them and when i find that article ill send it to you

@notme411 I've had that happen too. It's like a couple of the modules will just stay steady lit. I'm not sure why - I think it's something with the computer circuit. Unplugging and replugging in the bar made it work for me.

@monkey050 Its funky, Power is good but it seems like the pattern wont "kick off." Like there is something keeping it from going full bore. I had an Electriction Check out the wiring and power is not an issue. My only other thought is that switch is not completing the circut. (Spelling is bad I know. Long day of farting around with that bar.) Im hoping I can just get a new switch sent out and all will be well. Im just freaked out.

@notme411 Their customer service is pretty good. On my second bar one of the rear modules was half dead and they sent me a new one provided I ship them the old module. It worked out OK. Easy to replace. Regarding that switch, it will probably still work but it stops clicking. I considered just replacing the switch myself but it is kind of impossible. They need to be made aware that their switches are not sturdy enough.

@monkey050 I got the Bar in on Friday, I installed it this afternoon. Switch was FUBAR straight out of the box. I suggest to anyone to purchase something else. Ill report back on how Customer Service treats me after dropping 500 in their pockets. (I must say for the 3min it did work, holy crap was it bright.)
