X-pattern sync in grille...fail or no fail...

[EMSChief1]

Setting up 4 Soundoff LED3 minis in the grille and would like to do an X-pattern. Which do most people prefer ?


Option 1:


RED RED


BLUE BLUE


(red/blue flash together in X pattern)


or....................


Option 2:


RED BLUE


BLUE RED


(red/red then blue/blue in X pattern)?


I was told option 1 can give you that purple look and option 2 gives you a better footprint since it's more color specific at a time. Thoughts?

i like option 1, i had on my old charger red on top and white on the bottom on the 'X' pattern, and liked it better than your 2nd option.

 

[MEVS06]

Option 2 hands down

 

[jprleedy4680]

Personally...I like the second option better. However, when my two RECT-13's flash together (R&W), I don't notice a pink tinge. I would think either configuration would be fine if adequately spaced...

Option 2.


r/b at same time is purple

 

[Ipuvaepe]

Option 1 definitely looks better at say 100ft, but beyond that (or someone with less than average vision) it would probably look purple. Option 2 seems the more logical way to go.

 

[VolEms]

Option 2, 100%.

 

[CenTexPSE]

Option 2 is the only way to go.

 

[tsquale]

Option 2 will look better from a distance

option 2 I have it on my demo truck.

 

[John Hearne]

On the back of my last car, I had:


(Red) (Blue)


(Red) (Blue)


and it fired in an "X" pattern. There was plenty of black space around the lights so purpling wasn't an issue.

 

[Klein]

I like 1 but only if there is enough space between the lights to not have the red and blue mix and appear purple.

 

[CenTexPSE]

Option 2 will make a bigger foot print because the like colors will be hitting at the same time. It will allow you to be seen from further away.

 

[AggiePhil]

I prefer left to right (or vice versa) flashing rather than top to bottom or criss-cross. I'd put the reds on top of each other on the driver's side and the blues on the other side, then have them flash red/blue alternating.

...and then it won't matter.

Un sync...? Fail... LoL

 

[got_yogurt]

option 2, and keep them synched

 

[dakarm34]

You're doing it right.....option 2 synced.

option 2, and keep them synched

 

[EMSChief1]

Finally wired it up synced them. I went with option 2 and I have to agree it gives a better footprint, especially from further away. Thanks guys.
