Howdy,
I have this nice Whelen 4500-series (maybe 5000-series) build-a-bar lightbar I won at auction a few years back. After sitting in the garage for a few years I'd like to get it running. I'm a newbie when it comes to lightbars but I have hobbyist electric skills (soldering, splicing, multimeter-ing).
Looking for some pointers on how to get this thing running. I've attatched a picture of the spliced wires coming out the back, some of them are labelled but I'm not sure how to power them. Do I need a control box? Can I hook it up to a transformer? Looking for any and all technical manuals/tips/pointers/anecdotes/etc.
I enjoy hosting gatherings and this lightbar would make for some cool functional decor.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
