So I built a "demo box" unit

Had some free time and a handful of stuff laying around the shop. Decided my "demo" unit needed an upgrade or two. Bought a toolbox and started drilling. Right now I have this....
Feniex T6 1red 1blue
T3 1red 1 blue
Pair of pretty used cannons in blue
1 Widelux 4x6 in B/W (was on my For Sale thread).

What else should I add?? There is plenty of real estate and power consumption is not an issue as I use a converted PC supply for juice. I've got the basics covered (Cobra/Apollo offerings), but its missing something...some amber maybe??

That is an awesome setup. Great idea using a toolbox. You could throw some amber and white T6 and T3 on it to demo all the colors somebody may want.

I forgot to mention each head is independent and I can change patterns on the fly.

Great idea! Maybe if you have the space throw on a powerarc there as well?

There is definitely space for a Powerarc, and I know this sounds silly considering the $$$ already in the box, buuuutttt man they want a pretty penny. They are popular in my area though. (I know of 4 departments in my county alone that use halogen Arcs). If I could get one at/below cost I would fo' sho'.

Hmmm...that might be what comes next then....good idea.

I see how you could use it as a mini bar. Its 28x12x11....Silicone up the holes, put a plastic liner in it, add ice and some beers.....not sure what purpose the magnets would serve? Keep it from falling out of the truck bed? :D

Nice. That way it can go from the truck bed to a golf cart to assist in moving those slow players along while getting your drink on.

I thought the same. Tried an old S&W 800 and the power supply couldn't take it. A new Feniex siren might be a different story.

The 4x6 is half blue half white and I can show all the available functions on it.

Resurrecting this thread....I have since taken everything off the demo box since Feniex has upgraded their lines from Python, Cobra, and Apollo to Fusion.

I recently reviewed the new Feniex AM600 beacon and @coop359 inquired about the power box I used to demo the beacon. It's the same box, just upgraded A LOT.

See Sparkys Gear Guide (Step 6) at instructables.com.
https://www.instructables.com/id/Sparkys-Gear-Guide-to-the-Zombie-Apocalypse/

Inside is 2 35AH 12v deep cycle batteries wired up for 30A-12V and connected to a 750W-120V inverter. It will run everything short of my circular/table saw and air compressor. I can recharge it from solar panels, 120v trickle (on board), and 12v ciggie.
