Here are some photos of the Whelen Inner Edge w/ MR11 Takedowns and Linear 8 lightheads. This booth was really busy, so I couldn't take really good photos. Very impressive lights. Unfortunately the 3 head model wasn't available at this time, but I will post on that once I see it the second week of December. I will be meeting up this Whelen rep at that time for this purpose. I also have videos of this one that is available upon request.

Maybe because it would have caused the nose to stick out front further toward the windshield? Considering the lenght difference between the TIR 3 and 500 series lightheads. Only speculation.

Six linear light heads (3 per side), takedowns, and two angled TIR3's in the center. You'd get the output of the linears with the small sized angled output of the TIR3's. Make sense?

I think Whelen should make an Inner Edge for the rear headliner or deck (Besides the dual Talon CHMSL). I think that would be sweet!! BTW: Nice pics!

I'd much rather see them get rid of the takedown lights and put the TIR3's at the 45 degree angle there. I haven't seen them so I don't want to say they wouldn't work but in my opinion they just don't look like good takedown lights Back to top    URL John Hearne

I think there's different grade of takedown lights. I don't think the ones in the Inner Edge would do a great job of illuminating the interior of a vehicle. But, they would add to the \"wall of light\" that most any takedown light can provide. Its not perfect, but I don't see what you're giving up. Back to top    URL emergencyvehiclelighting

Whelen has a model for mounting in the 2005 Tahoe/Suburban; you would think it would fit in a 2002. Maybe find a 2005 to check out and see of the interior mountings are similiar (visor brackets). Back to top    URL Hugh A.

I would venture as far as to say that the 05's are identical when it comes to bracketry and length. I have installed in all of those models from 99-2005 and they seemed identical to me.

For the 3 Linear8 model, too? I can't find any literature on the newer InnerEdge products. Back to top    URL Pj

They have install guides up for the new stuff, but the new marketing stuff isn't there/published yet.
