Hi, thanks for watching. This is George at Wicked Warnings here with
almost one of our largest jobs. We have here a sweeper.
It's a Cab and Chassis by AutoCar and a Schwarze Sweep Body for our partners
over at Flood Brothers. What we've got in the grille there, is our Thin-X LIN series
in an amber-white and a green-white. We chose amber and green to compliment
the Flood Brothers' colors. We've also got on the roof, a 23-inch Whelen Mini LED
bar. That's permanent mounted up on the roof.
You can also see along the sides there, we're featuring our TIR-3 light above
the front wheel in amber and green. Again, to complement the Flood Brothers' colors.
We've also got two of our 28-inch Thin-X Strips, in amber and white, on the side of
the work body there.
There you can see how we've mounted our Thin-X into the grille, avoiding damage. We
were able to go through the honeycomb and put a backer behind there, so if they
ever needed to be removed, there wouldn't be any visible scars left where these
lights were.
On the front of the cab, we put a TIR-3 in amber in green on a quicker pattern
right there above the front tire.
We've also complimented that, on the side, with our Thin-X Strip in an alternating
amber and white flip-flop color on the back.
You can see here, we've mounted those with 3m VHB tape, as well as the primer
94, to make sure they don't fall off. And we only had to drill a single grommeted
hole through the metal panel for the wiring. That way we have very little
damage to mount these lights, just a single hole that could always be filled
with a mushroom top plug if we ever wanted to remove them and go a different
direction. These lights are synchronized. They're
set up on an amber and white alternating pattern. I chose to light the entire
light because this is a large machine and as you see, when I step quite a ways
back, these lights really do produce a good
flash when the entire light is lit on something this large. As you can see,
from way back here, we have a large punch of light from the Thin-X's. We also have
the original equipment Schwarze beacon on the back center there.
Most impressive part of this build is the rear. Let me show you what we did.
Out on the back of the sweeper, the request was a lot of warning. So what we
did, is we went with a six head led stick on each side, mounted on the top. We also
put our Thin-X in amber, or i'm sorry, in green and white on the bottom. We did the
sticks in all amber, to be a little bit more friendly, a little bit more
municipal looking, and then we complemented it with the green and white
Thin-X below it. I tell you, it was kind of fun, this build, cause I took my kids to
school in the sweeper, and I rolled through the McDonald's drive-thru in the
sweeper. Having all kinds of fun driving this around. Here you can see how them
lights look at a good distance away. You can certainly see the amber lights.
They're definitely more potent in-person but this this build turned out really
cool. A lot of light, very flamboyant it's definitely going to be used in parades and
we've done a couple of the trash trucks for this company as well. So if you're at
any local parades here around Chicago, see if you can spot the Flood Brothers'
fleet and if you need any services give our partners at Flood Brothers a call.
They're very good people to work with and I've had nothing but good times with
them so far, lighting up their fleet. Here you can see a little bit of that front
roof bar, the Thin-X's on the side as well as those TIR 6 sticks on the back
and the Thin-X's in the rear as well. You can even see the TIR's there by the
front wheel.
There's just a little closer shot here.
This is a very interesting build also, working with the can bus system from the
Schwarze Sweeper. This was not as simple as hooking up a bunch of wires. We
definitely had a little bit to learn with the can bus system, how to make this
integrate without damaging the truck. It's obviously a pretty expensive piece
of machinery, so we wanted to be sure to integrate everything appropriately.
You can see here how we mounted those LED sticks right to the top of the body.
Again, just a small hole for the wire with the grommet, keeping it real clean,
real secure. There's also some LED spotlights on the top there. That way, if
you want to do any sweeping in the middle of the night, you're good to go.
Got a rear-view camera up there as well. We've got LED spotlights by the left and
right gutter brooms also. Surface mounted our Thin-X right above the factory
hazard lights right there. Again, in the green and white. Thank you for watching.
I hope you enjoyed this video featuring Wicked Warnings safety emergency
lighting. Give us a call if you have any of your fleet needs. We can do small jobs.
We can do big jobs. LED safety lighting is definitely what we specialize in.

again for watching our Flood Brothers sweeper build.
I'm going to show you the control panel in the dash real quick because I thought
that was pretty sweet. I'm gonna nerd out here for a minute and just show you
inside the cab of this beast. It's a pretty cool unit. It's got a nice rear
view camera right there, you can see everything behind you, so nobody can
sneak up on you from behind. It's also got a nice LCD screen here. Shows you the
sweeper and all the different functions and you can see those little amber
beacon lights that go off when we turn off the lighting. We turn the lighting on,
they go on to let the driver know they're activated by this beacon switch
right here and we got a whole slew of other switches to do all kinds of fun
stuff. So this was an interesting build. Can bus system is a little bit more
complicated than others. I guess two people can drive it at the same time and
fight about which way they're going. So, thanks again for watching Wicked
Warnings. I hope you enjoyed this unique video. Keep us in mind for everything in
your public safety needs, your safety lighting, your emergency lighting, all
that good stuff.
