Oh, ok. I’ve seen very few Federal Signal products in my area, so I’m not too familiar with their devices. Thanks.
There are three senate office buildings in Washington, DC that house the offices of the senators. Hart has those strobes mounted alone, one has the horn and strobe mounted on a wall, and one has the horn and strobe mounted on the ceiling.
The Edgewater Hotel in Gatlinburg, TN has those horns with Federal Signal wedge I strobes. This was the same hotel whose main alarms were full size rudland speakers with the i strobes.
From Sears at Westgate Mall in Brockton, MA, here’s a red Wheelock NS horn/strobe.
It’s only fair. I photographed the white version at my workplace at Shoe City.
Let’s review.

From Community College MBTA Orange Line Station, here’s a Cerberus Pyrotronics MTL horn/strobe, just like Ben Schumin’s.
From the main lobby at Faulkner Hospital.
And from the Faulkner Hospital in the hallways, name these fire alarms.

The first one is a pre-Integrity -series EST horn/strobe. The others are Edwards chimes and remote “FIRE” lights! (I think those lights are made by Edwards, but I could be wrong.)
They look like Simplex 2904 lights that have been squished! :lol:
From Brockton Hospital, 2nd floor, near room 206…
and in the hallway near the main entrance of Brockton Hospital, name these Simplex fire alarms!
#1: Simplex 4903-9001 light plate with a 2902-series LifeAlarm speaker
#2: Simplex 2903 series surface mount (probably light) plate and a 2902-9711 compression driver speaker
BTW- Is there any 4903 series strobe plate with a frosted lens?
Ah yes, I know those alarms pretty well. I was told that Brockton Hospital currently has a Simplex 4100 voice-evacuation system (installed around the late 1990s). Did you also notice the newer 4903-series speaker/strobes in the emergency wing, the blood lab and the transitional care unit? Those were areas that were renovated, and had the alarms replaced.
I also saw a few signs saying they are doing some renovations to the hospital. I wouldn’t be surprised if they started replacing more alarms (chances are they’d probably go with TrueAlert speaker/strobes or something.)
Perhaps you could look into obtaining some.
Yeah, that would be cool. I’ve got that 2903 with speaker, but the other one I don’t have.
From Back Bay MBTA Orange Line/Commuter Rail/Amtrak Station, name that fire alarm!
Not sure about the one on the the right but the one on the left is a Wheelock 7002T.
Yeah thats correct. The station also has Wheelock ASs and BG-12s, like many MBTA stops.
From the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester, MN, Name that fire alarm!

That’s one of those remote Simplex 2904 lights or strobes.

Oh, I see someone else want to join in and play my little game, too!
I saw one of those on a Gamewell bell grille at the Museum of Science in Boston.
The MOS is the only place I have ever seen those things.
Same here; I’m guessing the building initially only had the bells behind grilles, but in the 1980s they installed the Simplex remote lights/strobes on all but one of them. This was also probably before Gamewell/Notifier took over, because I remember the Theater of Electricity wing (built in 1979-1980) initially had Simplex bells (also behind grilles) and remote 4050-80 lights underneath (with “FIRE” lettering in black) and the pulls were break-glass 4251-30s. Today, only a couple of the old pulls and remote lights remain (and I am sure only one of these setups has a bell behind the grille), one of them in a handicap-accessible hallway underneath the Theater of Electricity, and another in the butterfly garden. All the other pulls in this wing were replaced with NBG-12LXs with Stopper IIs, and the new alarms are Wheelock E70 speaker/strobes. They also removed the old “FIRE” lights and the bells, but they kept the grilles intact and had them boarded up behind them. Overall, with a mix of bells and voice-evac signals of different kinds, it seems like a rather inconsistent system!
I think the last time I was there was last February. I didn’t go around the whole museum, just a few sections.
