Mine are the smart models. Do they have dumb ones available?Well that sucks. Are your fusions smart models with internal flashers, or dumb models?

I received mine in also and tried to see if they will work of an external flasher. Unfortunately they do not work correctly on a flasher. They have the momentary delay in power up much like the newer cannons. I tried both a ULF44 and the Feniex flasher with same results. Other than that they are awesome.
A very slow single flash pattern will work but with a bit less on time just like FEVER said. I tried signal alert pattern as well as a quad flash off a ulf44 which the light missed the first two flashes and just did a double flash.What type of patterns were you using?
I'm trying to find a 100% answer to my question to know whether to order about a dozen of them. I'm not wanting very fast and crazy patterns. I'm planning to use the FedSig SSP2K flasher which only does single flash at different speeds. With the amount of lights I plan to have combined with the rural/small suburban area I cover, I doubt they will ever be flashing fast at all. Have you tried very slow synced patterns? Or will they not work properly at all regardless of the speed? Tom seemed to give me a different answer on the phone.

Dammit... Why does Feniex have to go screwing up such basic features and requests. Not everyone has or uses ALL Feniex lighting, and want to sync other brand lights... That may be the deciding factor of me finding other light heads to use. WTG Feniex...
Not sure they will even make the surface mounts in the dummy module with the sealed units. I'd have to check. The sticks might be your only option. That said, the entire bar will have to have power and ground the entire time because the modules are basically going to be powered the same way as the Apollo series was.
I just wondering why don't they make the 180° lights as bright as the 40°
Not sure if it's not as bright, rather the optics are different. More direct vs spread.

^^What he said. TIR optics are a more focused light, tight beam, long distance and appear brighter direct in front of. The 180 optics are more like a flood light, large spread, short distance. Both the 180/40 light heads are identical with the exception of the optics.
Like said it is the difference in the focus of the optics. The 40 focuses the lights in a narrower lattern, therefore it alpears brighter. The 180 spreads the light across the entire 180 degress, so it may look not as bright head on but it has light coverage along the 180 degrees.
I would have posted this in a fail thread if it wasnt one of the only installs out there currently. But the part that impressed me the most was the flood. I honestly didnt think that the 40 degree optics would actually have a good enough focus to do anything real for distance lighting.When people do night time videos why do they have to stand so close? Video is pointless. But the flood mode looks cool.
White light to rear...grrr.video
umm thats what the 40 degree does best......
Got a set of exterior rated, dual-color dummy modules, foam gaskets, and flanges direct from Feniex last week. Got them installed over the weekend and they are AWESOME! I have them set off a ULF-44 and they keep up with every pattern, including the annoyingly fast ones. As others on here have said, they do indeed need steady power and ground, and then each color activates with its own trigger wire. I have them wired through diodes and relays so that I have red-only mode one, red white on a faster pattern mode two, and then steady burn white override.
Just wanted to let everyone know that they do indeed make exterior-rated dummy modules, and that they will play nice with an external flasher, even in dual-color.
