@towrecker good grief!!! I got a 12 inch single amber light in my room and its bright as F... stuff with just a 7 watt bulb in it!!! lol
-
@More350Power yeah I know , I want to put 2 of the lenses in my front bumper , flashing side to side ha ha ha
-
@towrecker Nope, not stolen..... given to me just like the street light you didnt see :) That one is an 8 inch diameter lens which is considered illegal for traffic control from the 1950's. They sell 12 volt incandescent bulbs with the regular base... used in motor homes. I made a timer for that stoplight also ;) Ebay ebay ebay if your looking!!! though I knew the right person for this one!

@redneck2010ize 10-4 you got it! Old milk crates make great cases as do small hamster cages!

@daddytech Possibly, but with most of these the blades are aluminum and once you have balanced / straightened them they are quieter. The main thing is the balance but you also have a probably small change in air flow if you knock the blade pitch off. I had bent one of the blades when I removed this motor and I want to make a desk fan out of it that doesnt rattle LOL
-
could you not use solder or melt lead on the blade to balance it if it's just say slightly worn out bearings.
