Roof Mounted Star Interceptor Light Bar

September 23, 2009

One of my jobs requires me (for safety reasons) to have some means of warning other motorists of my truck. I also install commercial warning lights for several local businesses, so my light bar is a fully functional demonstrator.

Full Front: The upper level is the same as the rear, but the lower level has 4 LED wig-wags, 2 white strobes split evenly on each side. There are also 2 angle mounted 27 watt wig-wags at the front corners that now have amber filters.

Full Rear: Here is the rear view of the bar. The lower level contains brake lights as shown above on the outside edge, a set of amber LED wig-wags, then a set of amber 27 watt wig-wags. The upper level has 4 amber rotators.

Brake Lights On: I elected to have two rear facing red lights that came on with my brake lights. Because I use low amperage LED bulbs, these are triggered by the high mount brake light on the rear of the cab.

Lower Front CLoseup: Here's what the lower front of the bar looked like before I added the amber filters to the intersection clearing lights on the lower level.

Quick Connects: To get into low overhead places, I created a quick connect system using two standard 4 prong trailer plugs run in opposite orientations to make hookup goof proof. This allows me to quickly remove the entire light bar in less than a minute.

Switches: The whole bar is controlled with just two LED lighted switches. The left (red) switch controls the whole upper level and the right (blue) switch controls the whole lower level. There is one relay for each switch mounted under the hood and all wiring is hidden.

Interceptor Magnet Closeup: The other half of the quick connect system on my bar is a custom 8 magnet mounting system. Each magnet has a 100 pound pull, so it doesn't move. There is white vinyl sign material on the roof under each magnet to prevent scratching.

Interceptor Slotted Filter: One of the many one of a kind touches (you cannot buy this exact bar from Star) on my bar is the slotted filters. These give a distinct white "pop" at the center of each colored flash. The effect is a dramatically brighter flash from the rotators. I build these myself in all colors. You can also see the side mounted lower level amber LED here.
