they need the LED strobes

They definitely do, however given that they just added a bunch of xenon devices in my school, I would expect it to be a while before they make the switch to LED strobes.

Yeah – blue lens (along with amber, green, and red) has been a field installable option on SAA and L-series for as long as I’ve been reading their datasheets.
Speaking of which, anyone know the model no. for the L-Series Police Strobe? (Xenon)
I don’t think so, I haven’t seen any sort of documentation about the L-Series BP strobes at all.
The LED model is SGBKLED, according to the manual. I don’t think there was a xenon L-Series version, since the device is outdoor rated, but there was a SpectrAlert Advance SBHK. The one in the initial post appears to be a custom bezel placed over a standard SCWL.
Where did you get those photos from exactly?
At 1:26 there is a BluePoint strobe without the blue lens.
Alright, thanks! Quite a few oddities in that video though:
#1: The narrator changes twice towards the end for seemingly no reason
#2: The ceiling strobe around 1:26 has no blue lens cover
#3: “BluePoint pull stations can only be pulled when there is an immediate active threat situation” Uh, no, it’s practically impossible to do that: they can literally be activated even when there’s no emergency like with fire alarm manual stations! (which of course means there’s always the threat of false alarms undermining the reliability of the system)
I think they meant BluePoint pull stations “should” only be pulled in those situations.
Oh yeah: now that I listen closer he does say “should” rather than “can”, my mistake. The potential for time-wasting & alarm fatigue-inducing false alarms is still there though.
No need for the blue point police pulls. My school district has wearable Centegix buttons now which are better than those pulls that require someone to walk over to where one of them is and pull it.
If a Centegix button is pressed for a lockdown, the Centegix strobes flash and an automated announcement comes on over the intercom.
That might be the case but if you ask me it’s still good to have manual pull stations in place anyway, especially since not everybody will have those wearable buttons on them.
