Questions about the Whelen Mini Edge
Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-09-29 02:36:24
I used one of these lightbars for several years and never had a problem. The trick is to keep it far back from the leading edge of the roof by doing this you keep the majority of the airflow going over the light pushing it down onto the roof instead of underneath it trying to give it lift and take off. Get it as low as possible to the roof. I lost the light bar once (blew off into the bed of my pick up) during a hurricane (extreme weather) responding to a pediatric medical call. If you currently undergo the permanant mount on there take it off and mount the magnets (four 120-140 ft lbs pull) directly to the i-beam chasis. Good luck!
I Have a Mini Edge that I found next to the Interstate in the ditch so i would forbid the Magnets
Mini Edges have a tendency of flying off even at resonable speeds. If you want to use magnets. 4 200# shoud do the cozen but its my preference to drill a hole
I've mounted 4-250# magnets to the I beam i then tested it by putting it on my table saw. I could not slide it and it took three of us to pull it off two to pull one to hold down the table saw. It's not a dinky delay saw larger older one. Thanks to all for your input. I'll definately keep an eye on it.

So I'm to understand that either the posted speed limits in your state are 70 in rural areas and 85 on interstate?
Down here. 65-70 in rural areas is normal for straightaways and although 70 is the "check" on I-95 here if you ain't doing 75-80 you are a traffic liability.
