Warm fuzzy feeling.

Well, 'tis that time of the year for me. Since I work for the public works fleet, this is the time of year that the squad cars rotate out. I am the change master, and take all the old equipment out of the old car, and install it into the new. Everything from headlight/tail light flashers, light bars, radios, cameras, DVR's, gun racks, cages, pre-empt lights, computers, and all the like. It's one big pile of wires... I've been after the Police to put new LED lightbars on the cars and ditch the old rotators for a few years, but they kept crying broke... The bars were rated at 40 amps, but in their old-well worn age were pushing 80 amps. :eek:

 

Well, I got my wish this year, and they are having me replace all the lightbars with brand spanking new LED lo-pros. I've got 8 total, and already installed 3. I likey. They are what I call "I'm going to puke" bright, and run without blowing a 10 amp fuse in full pursuit mode.

That's not the warm fuzzy feeling though... This is what I was greeted by when I pulled the first one out of the box:

Technically, it doesnt say "United States of America"... which means that if the manufacturing company wanted to be crappy, it could have been made anywhere in the North American market, which includes Canada eh, The USA, And Mehico. It probably was made here, but the way businesses are nowadays, you never know.

Reminds me of some hardware we get from the "Anglo American Brass Company". English speaking American, right? Then you pull it out of the box and they all have a little "made in Taiwan" sticker on them...
