Ok my bad my uncle said they used them only on command vehicles and only on the rear deck passenger side
Also what's up with the different shades of green some federal stuff looks regular green and some look emerald green anyone know why
Different vintages had color changes, and some even had a green coating on the inside of a clear dome.
So I started sorting everything and setting up displays...
I've never seen a CFD vehicle with a Firebeam. But they use so much, someone could have had one. I've seen PowerArc dash lights, visor flip downs. For years when the Highlighter came out, all the big bosses' cars had a clear dome Highlighter on the rear deck. The rotators were green & clear. There was a red filter over the middle mirror.
Found this little guy today... First post of 2018 in the Green light thread! woohoo!
I Wish the Inners were Counter Rotating giving it a Whole Different Look!
Yup... he said what good is a green light to a tow truck I have enough flashing yellow ones on the roof ....smh
Here another example of an East German rotating beacon. The FER 8562.1 was produced from 1963 till mid of 70s.
The green version is not present in my original catalogue but if it follows FER’s model number logic the model number should be, if it is in 12 Volt and green, 8562.1/3.

I thought that the number after the "/" is a code for the dome color.
Can you make a short list for each color?

856 = All versions starts with these numbers followed by:
1 = 6 Volt
2 = 12 Volt
3 = 24 Volt
.1 = First version permanent mount
.2 = First version DDR pipe mount
.5 = Second version permanent mount
.6 = Second version DDR pipe mount
(.3 and .4 are not in any of my FER catalogues)
Without a / = Blue
/1 = Red
/2 = Amber
/3 = Green
/42 = Blue DIN pipe mount
/52 = Red DIN pipe mount
/62 = Amber DIN pipe mount
/72 = Green DIN pipe mount
Examples:
8562.1 = Blue 12 Volt First version.
8562.5 = Blue 12 Volt Second version.
8563.1/2 = Amber 24 Volt First version.
8561.1/1 = Red 6 Volt First version.
8563.2/2 = Amber 24 Volt DDR pipe mount First version.
8562.6/1 = Red 12 Volt Second version DDR pipe mount.
8562.6/42 = Blue 12 Volt DIN pipe mount.
I think you will get hang on it.
There are many German sites on the Internet that says that the blue light’s number is 8563.1 in 12 Volt but that is wrong.
All these numbers are from several original catalogues and brochures that I have.

These colours are not stated in any of the catalogues I have but I have a light yellow lens that I bought from the Swedish distributor and that I have installed on an amber 8562.5/2.
I call this colour for Italian yellow because Italy use this light yellow colour.

I will try to do that but it might take some time.
As usual they are stored way back with alot of other stuff in the way.

Walter wants to give you all a preview of a thread that will come next week. Finished up cleaning and rewiring this one and sanding/polishing the domes. Just waiting on the endcap from JDH to arrive to take video and post the thread detailing it.
