I know it’s been a long time since we talked about this, but I wanted to bring this up again because I just saw their Facebook page and it appears that at some point they introduced L series ceiling, strobe.
I also thought that creating this thread would provide us an official thread to discuss this type of system. Now I know that it’s not a fire alarm so feel free to move this thread if needed.
I wonder if blue point has a panel for those devices
If they do in fact have a panel, and not something else complex, then they might be using a repurposed Fire-Lite/Notifier ES-xxxx series panel for police paging purposes. I want to see what that would look like. And if it’s addressable or not.
Also surprised at how no other police pulls nor strobes have leaked to eBay or online!
I looked bluepoint on eBay and I couldn’t find any devices
It’s not something that’s easily accessible to buyers. The company only distributes it to organizations and companies and schools.
Interesting to see that only the bezel is blue instead of the entire housing.
And if they made the L-Series weatherproof, they would’ve almost certainly discontinued the SpectrAlert Advance.
The advance wall strobe was all blue.
They probably have a partnership with Honeywell if they’re able to produce those appliances.
(Also do they have any horn and speaker versions?)
Unfortunately no horns or speakers, nor HS/SS devices. If there were a horn strobe, I’d like them to develop their own police code. Only strobes for now. Although not much is known about them, even in 2023, considering how scarce they are.
The L-series design allows for a separate bezel. It’s easier and cheaper to do this instead of changing the color of the housing.
Would bluepoint apply a separate bezel to the alarms, or would they just paint part of the housing blue?
Well, look what I found: BluePoint Explained by Dave with a Live Demo - YouTube
EDIT: A better look at what I assume is called the SCBL. BluePoint Alert Solutions on Instagram: "Introducing: the BluePoint ceiling strobe. As a supplement to wall strobes, this device works well at the intersection of hallways to maximize visibility from multiple directions."
The link in the original post shows a blue bezel.
You’re right. It does look like it is a bezel.
BTW, Found an Installation PDF:
Apparently, there is a SBHK, which is a high candela outdoor strobe.
