Nice job. I just wish they spec-ed surface mounts instead of cannons on the running boards

Great install. I think it looks a little funny having 3 vertical ions on the side of the PB, though

I don’t blame you. I’m tall so I don’t like ILBs personally. When I was a vollie years ago, I had a dual talon centered on my dash and a single talon on the passenger side of the RVM for a 3rd tier of warning without being in front of my eye line on the driver side of the headliner. I loved...

Can we get an updated vid (full walk around)? Looks great so far! The only thing I didn’t love was the fusions there cuz they always look bulky to me when surface mounted (granted, I know you had them on hand in your OP). Although they’re tucked in the fog lights, I would’ve preferred...

For the grill I would go with Mpower stud mounts in the ford grill pop out/cutout. I’m not a fan of having lights between the grill and bumper cuz I think they’re not particularly effective down low. Microns are an option too, but I like that mpowers have off-axis warning that microns lack...

+1 on what John said. If you went with some 180-degree light on the sides of the dump body, that would certainly cover your side warning, but I would still recommend forward & rear facing lights to serve as your primary front/rear warning I love Whelen, but their rotabeams and V-series...

Did Power Arc officially go out of business? If so, just curious when? Google says the business is permanently closed (I figured it was only a matter of time with LED rotabeam and vision products being way more popular), but I figured they were still trying to hang in there for a while longer...

I honestly don’t mind the slow single flash. While Signal alert is probably my all around favorite, I think the single flash for perimeter warning on all the 2020’s and 2021’s looks better than the rapid flickering pattern. I just wish there wasn’t such a push toward smaller impaxx/ion-sized...

Yes, they did a lot of remounts for their old rescues (they were using FedSig lighting at the time) and sent their few old ALF aerials to get refurbed by Spartan LTC. Aerial 19 has a roto-Ray, with mixed code 3 and Whelen lighting, and Rescue 19 has the new all-tomar package (with the awful...

Just saw this new video. It’s hard to see the lightheads up close while they’re flashing at night, but it appears this newest seagrave engine has a Whelen package…it looks like M6’s, T-ion duos, & Mini freedoms with rotabeam corners up top. Couldn’t see what the rear minibars were, though...

Probably not. Vision SLR demand in the USA dropped by 50% when the FDNY scrapped them lol, so now NYPD RMPs & traffic units are gonna be the only ones left with vision SLRs. Sadly, I also think we’re gonna see a lot of FDNY rigs with burnt out lightheads or lightheads stuck on steadyburn now...

I love their spec mini freedoms for the Ferrara RM ladders (they look like R/C dual color inboards with rapid pattern rotating corners)…they’re brighter and no moving parts, so I think they’re a win for FDNY over FedSig navigators

Honestly doesn’t look budget install at all….good solid 360 coverage

Nice simple install, & I love the patterns you picked on the smart logic flasher for drive & park. I really hope you upgrade the side warning, b/c the only thing I’m not a fan of is relying solely on a surface Mount vertex for your side warning. However, I’m not a fan of the sidekick b/c...

Sooooo true! They’re really disappointing, & I wish FDNY went with the Freedoms (that they use on their Ferrara Ladders) on all their new Seagraves

I’m not going to waste my time calling around to Seagrave or FDNY and getting transferred endlessly for something that nobody is dying to know the answer to. I just asked on the forum, because I was curious if anybody here had any direct knowledge, & the 2 cents put forward by some of the...

L31 is by far the brightest IMO. I love sound off products, but the Nroads doesn’t pack as much of a punch to me (I think the fluted lenses on the L31 give it a little extra punch than SOS beacon). What’s the application gonna be for your beacon?

Do you have the number for their whacker Q&A hotline?

Interesting point; I never thought of that. It makes sense, but I also think it’s a waste on their part since the angled 45 degree reflectors on the rotators would do that naturally when they’re positioned normally. Has anybody else heard anything or have any thoughts about the decision to...

Hey guys. I’m sure many of you have seen that FDNY went back to Seagrave for their engines and now are sporting a fully FedSig lighting package with Navigators up top. I’ve noticed that the outer minibars on the front of the cab appear to be tilted downwards. I initially thought that the guys...

It’s hard to tell from the vid, but it looks like surface Mount LAWs. I’d recommend something like an under the mirror light with an intersectors b/c all the dirty work is concealed underneath the mirror (with wedges, you should be able to get a decent angle) & away from turn signals Like Seth...

What does 911 signal make for SOS? I was only aware of FedSig & Code 3 outsourcing asian products

I like it but would’ve preferred both grill lights to be red. Are you allowed to use a HLF? I’d 100% recommend you putting some lights on the side of the push-bumper to give you some intersection coverage when going code 3. Some red T-ions (to give you the linear optic with off-axis) would be...

I also immediately thought it was a SNM copy when I saw it. Another unimpressive release from Code 3. The least they could’ve done is try to make the LAWs kinda blend in more, instead of just looking like an afterthought add-on

I love the Powercall siren tone, BUT I think the faceplate on this looks cheap and tacky I also think the PA connection & USB port (which looks crooked) don’t belong on the front of the control head

Look into the Sound Off mpowers. Brighter and more rugged than the ions & ghosts

Wow, awesome job Code 3! You released another unimpressive product.

Feniex Fusion Sound off nRoads Fleet You don’t wanna go near STL. The more “economical” options from reputable places will still run you around 1K, but you’ll have the reliability that you won’t get from STL (and similar) bars

They’ve used R/B vipers for a long time on their marked and unmarked units. Slimlighters are typically just used on highway patrol units (with an occasional exception on some unmarked units)

I think the best option is SOS Mpowers. They’re a little on the pricier side of your options, but they’re worth it IMO because they’re rugged (silicone housing/optic), bright as hell, and small/thin. Alternatives: Whelen T-ion duos are decent & slim. The Feniex fusions are ok but I think...
