From watching your response videos it's hard to believe how bad PFD's lighting packages are. Not even from a lighting buff point of view, just period.

I have to agree....Especially the ALF lightbars. I have never liked those and always thought they were severely lacking. The lightbars on the new KME's though seem to be pretty good/effective. Does Philly have electronic sirens also, or just the Federal Q's?

The problem with the lights in the videos is that they are strobe lights and the strobe's don't show up well on camera. If you take a look at videos of PFD's 2003-04 ALF Engines and Ladders and the 2007 ALF Engines and Ladders you can see the difference because the 2007s have LEDs. All the old vector light bars are just worn out. But the new 2009 and 2012 model KMEs light bars are amazing when lit up.



Philly's 91 Seagraves Have PA300's as well as the 1993 Simon-Duplex Tillers. The 1990 Seagrave Tillers, 1995 KMEs, Haz-Mat 1, the 1998 ALFs (Tillers and Squrts), the 1999 Freightliner reserve Squad, the 2007 ALF Engines and Ladders and the 2009 and 2012 KME Engines all have Federal Qs, and the 2002-2005 ALF Engines and Ladders, Rescue 1, Air Unit 1, and Collapse Unit 1 have EQ2Bs.
