I think there was a brief discussion about them on the old board. Nothing of detail, since there wasn't anything more to their website than there is now. Gotta wait & see.

I could almost swear we are already halfway through Summer 2010...?
Wonder when STL... I mean.. Feniex will actually release?

Thanks for the info! The link to the old thread was quite interesting. Can't wait to see what is going to come of all this. I would assume their big release will be after Firehouse Expo at the end of July as they are listed as an exhibitor. Anybody going to the show this year? Maybe we can get some early pics and video from their display!

+1, That archive thread was a very interesting read.
Found it very interesting the lengths people will go to investigate something. Not bashing at all, I like watching people get caught in the act!
Aside from all the political stuff with Feniex and STL, i am curious to see what "GEN 5" products they come out with. If they are people similar to STL, im sure the creativity is there (STL Eclipse), however im not sure if the product will be successful or not (Once again, STL Eclipse. I mean come one, they should have figured that many 3 watt takedowns would have washed out the rest of the lights).
I know ill be watching this company to see what they come out with....
and for the ELB drama

I was actually considering purchasing an Eclipse until I did some research here. Ended up with an SOS Pinnacle interior bar.
The eclipse concept was great though - especially with that many takedowns!

I had emailed them and asked when they was going to "launch" there products since we are already half way thru the summer. Here is a copy of the reply they sent me.

late this summer,thought on the old board they said beginning of the summer or did they need the extra time to change the company name on all of the lights already made
Mid-summer, late summer, they wouldn't be the first company who has had to push back a release date. It beats releasing a product before it's ready for prime time.
Not to thread jack, but is that other newcomer still around- from South Africa IIRC, "Rotan" or similar? They had a boomerang shaped LED bar.

I find it funny you sign up, and one paragraph states expect sneak peeks, etc...
Yet... the very next paragraph states...
We will be releasing videos and info after launch..
So... basically paragraph # 2 cancels what # 1 states..
Sigh.

Maybe thats what they meant by GEN5 LED's, they cant release their product until were actually at GEN5 LED technology :lol: :lol:
Im actually going to be pissed if after all this secrecy and bullshit, their products are CRAP (see "Eclipse")
guess well have to wait and see!
While I haven't heard or read anything new about Feniex, I did stumble across this bit of info while collecting part numbers for brackets on the Havis website: http://www.havis.com/catalog/Miscellaneous-752-1.html.
If you'll scroll down, you'll notice that there's two listings for Feniex products: one's for a control head identified as Feniex 7" Digital Touch H-30710; and the other one is a siren described as Feniex Olympian C-200. Unfortunately, clicking on each respective URL does not produce a picture.
I'm definitely curious about them now.

On the old board, someone posted the google maps picture of their headquarters and speculated it was a UPS store. I was able to zoom in on the address and it is in fact, a UPS store....logo and all! Not sure if it's exactly that address or they own the one next to the UPS store. Google is wierd like that

Before I posted my last message, I did check the Havis bracket listings for STL, and there are no identical part numbers shared with Feniex. You'll see elsewhere on the Havis website identical part numbers should one style fit multiple heads. I doubt it that Feniex requested Havis to provide them with unique part numbers in an attempt to avoid comparison with STL. It's possible, but not likely.
Also, isn't Feniex supposed to be showing products at the Firehouse Expo in Baltimore? Isn't that going on right now?

Feniex is STL.
The domain registration of both companies is the same owner and hosted by the same provider.

Wow... just checked out the web site... fancy!!
As mentioned before, how many ways can you build a lightbar, dash light, surface mount... etc? $1 bet says whatever they launch will look like something already on the market. Perhaps LASER is the next big thing?

The only way you could make a laser into an emergency light, is to use some form of prism. And even then, it would not be effective. Also, the cost would be outrageous for anything but red.

Who says someone didn't buy STL and change the name... maybe they are comming out with a new product line with better products...
My mother use to say "don't judge a book by its cover" Feniex isin't even showing us the index yet

Yeah, I don't see why we're all getting our panties up in a bunch about this nonsense. Wait for them to get on the market, if they ever do, and then we can worry about it a shoot them down. It's almost as if we're part owners of Whelen, Federal, etc and we don't want to give them that chance of "unveiling" their products.
well it's Aug 1 and still no big unveiling. Summer is almost set. i don't have much faith in this company and and haven't even seen a piece of equipment yet. thier website sure is fancy looking though :lol:
ya the email i recieved said mid fall here it is

Apparently not..LED138 said:
I am now pretty darn sure its STL attempting a piss poor re-marketing, hence all the bullshit coming forth. Whats with all the release date bull? Did anyone go to the expo as inquired above by Steve? If so, what was at the Fenix Booth? Did Fenix simply abandoan the booth since they were "not ready"?
... Is there even any of those shows mid fall this year? Even if there is, I suspect this will be their "standard thing" for a year- keep pushing the release date back, with no sneak peeks at all. (which is very stupid on their end)
If you are going to release a new product, release it when you originally say you are. I don't recall seeing Apple, IBM, Whelen, FedSig, etc pulling crap like this.

The hell they don't, or the term "vaporware" would have never been coined. What's worse, pushing back a release date until the product is right, or meeting your own deadline and risk churning out chum? The newest I-Phone could have used a little more polishing. At least half the release of Windows have been steaming piles of customer dissatisfaction. Smart Vision water infiltration issues into the brains? Which company was it whose bars would randomly burst into flames? Look at the ENTIRE aircraft industry. They never meet release dates, and that's fine with me.
If the conspiracy actually exists, and this is STL trying to rebrand, and everything that STL makes is supposed to be crap, what's your rush? Could it be possible that if all that is true, they may actually be trying to improve?
