The Whelen MC23PA Mini Century™ is a compact 23-inch amber LED warning lightbar for water trucks, utility vehicles, service fleets, and construction equipment. Its low 2.40-inch height provides prominent warning coverage without the bulk of a full-size roof-mounted lightbar.
This fully populated, preconfigured model combines four Linear Super-LED® corner modules with TIR6™ inboard modules for bright, consistent warning output. The amber LEDs and matching amber dome provide a dedicated single-color warning configuration, while 17 Scan-Lock™ flash patterns and pattern override allow the warning signal to be matched to operating requirements.
The MC23PA uses a permanent mounting system, an extruded-aluminum platform, hard-coated lenses, compression-fit gaskets, and Whelen’s Clip-Lock™ dome-retention system. These features support dependable operation, moisture resistance, and easier access for inspection or service.
