...or stop, or the vehicle in front of you is stopping, or a turn signal. Red is used too frequently to have an instantly-recognizable message.

We've done this many times with older model Tahoes (pre-2015) and the Cannons work well. We install a resistor to dim the white (DRL) down a bit just to take the edge off the heat, which may or may not be necessary. We've had some installed in trucks since 2014 with no issues.

Rigid's option is called the "Adapt". It's kind of a funky-looking affair, and it can control beam pattern via vehicle speed, or you can choose presets on a dash-mounted control pad. The Rigid also has backlighting which are RGB LEDs so you can choose any colour backlighting you want by using...

In case you're interested....

John (and everyone) - FedSig announced a couple days ago that they will have a 4x3 size available very soon. It's actually mentioned (no pictures yet) on their new website; https://www.fedsig.com/product/quadraflare . I have not seen one yet.

White light to rear...grrr. We have installed a couple handfuls of the lights and the 40 degree optic is just SILLY bright. I'm comparing them to FedSig micropulse and Impaxx6 lights, too. As the name implies, after about 40-45 degrees they drop off significantly. I tried the 180 optic and...

A zip tie that you can cut off with your fingers by giving it a quick twist? Yeah, welcome to the 21st century. Made by Ancor (a sister company of Blue Sea Systems), these are about 2-3x the price of a regular zip tie but we've found that it speeds up our installations by much more than the...

Unity is a PAR46. Try this in there... http://www.rigidindustries.com/led-lighting/63342 . A quarter-million candela peak intensity. :)

We used our demo Tahoe to film the "Swat approach" scene for the upcoming movie "Incursion" (aka "Drone"), which stars Sean Bean (yes, the Sean Bean). They even let me drive it. It was a lot of fun, though we spent 4 hours filming for what's sure to be a 5 second clip.

White light to rear.... why do people still do that?

Hi folks, Rigid Industries has released their new "Site Series" large work lights. http://www.rigidindustries.com/products/site-series These lights are VERY substantial and extremely bright. They are available in AC or DC (AC models have an AC->DC converter mounted on the back), and come...

Hi all, We are looking for a Model 11 lightbar in blue/blue. It's for a movie shoot (don't know which movie). We occasionally get approached by movie folks for obscure parts. If you have such a bar that you're willing to part with, let me know what you want for it and we'll pass it along to...

Here are some pictures. They are just cell phone shots so they're not great, sorry. I was posting these live on our Instagram account; sigmasafety

Ford has been adding more and more things to their menu. We used to sell a fair number of Smart Sirens, but that number has gone way down since the RFTR package came out with the Cencom. We have a number of departments that were all Federal but now they have Federal bars on the roof and some...

There are a number of 'work' lights out there that might be appealing, too. We have had very good success with TecNiq lights, and they have recently released their new "Steel Head" series. These are available in 2, 4, and 6 LED versions (2 and 6 are in-line, 4 is square). I just received an...

It'll probably be pricey, but I would bet that a lot of departments will buy it because it is 'zero' profile, and it's integrated into the vehicle (which just makes it easy to order). Ford will also need to offer different models for red/blue and all-blue agencies, and will likely need to offer...

The pole light is a C0220 from FedSig, I believe. The fronts are GS2's. The CO220 is a Vama product. The alley lights....unknown.

I don't believe they are built in but you can order the HLF as an option, I believe. There is no option for TLF on the PI's. Rather, they use some kind of corner-LED in the tail lights (white to the rear, in the Utility)

I have some in the shop here. they are pretty bright lights. The "M" series from Whelen is brighter, but the K-series is pretty nice. All Tecniq lights have a LIFETIME warranty and most of their lights (with the exception of a couple of their smaller lights) are made in Michigan. They are an...

One issue that a number of our customers have had with Rigid-lookalikes is that some brands generate an awful lot of radio frequency interference (RFI). If not carefully controlled and filtered, the RFI can get very bad and cause whine on your radio, etc. The Rigids are awesome lights, have a...

Interestingly, we had a client up here (an electrical utility) who was using the L31's with great success, other than they were terrible in inclement weather, particularly at night. When raining/snowing or heavy fog, the vehicle that the light was mounted on was difficult to perceive. They...

I'd be interested to know where you are getting the L31's for $250. Care to PM me the details? I have a customer who is interested in 10-20.

Save yourself the cash and just get the vehicle upfit locally. Order only the Headlight Prep option so you don't have to drill the headlight housings to put the corner-LEDs in. Other than that, don't let Ford do your upfitting for you. It's way too expensive and you get what they give you -...

Sorry, I forgot you were one of our 'borderline' friends :) MSRP is US$73.16 however I suspect that a US dealer will sell for less.

Jarred, Our CDN$ price = $62. You can choose spot or flood, and white or black housing (all options are the same price). Taxes and shipping to your location (from our Vancouver warehouse) would be extra.

If you are not familiar with Tecniq (http://tecniqinc.com/), they are a Michigan-based company that makes what you could call "auxiliary" lights. They started off making "DOT" lights (turn, clearance, signal, running, brake/tail ) and related lights for trailers and cargo bodies, etc. Over the...

Hi all, For those of you who upfit vehicles, or sell to those who do, you may be interested in the Blue Sea Systems line. https://www.bluesea.com/ Blue Sea has been primarily a marine-component company, but are quickly expanding into public safety and work vehicles. They make items like fuse...

John - my understanding (unofficially) is that the 9x7 and 7x3 upgrades will be coming later this year. I have not heard of any plans to make a 4x3 size. I have a red/white dual colour coming but it's going to be about a month.

Hey T, The dual colour models are part of the lineup that's being released in the next couple weeks. The model numbers and colour combinations are shown in the PDF that is linked above. And yes, it IS about time!

Federal Signal is just about to release their new Quadraflare in the 6x4 size. It has some significant improvements over the older style; mounting footprint and trim rings are unchanged, which is a welcome surprise. lens is now pre-installed at the factory and has a better gasket. This...
