I wonder if we could start a mini-group for Whelen Cantrol owners and help each other out with programming and exploring the features of this versatile system. Not all of us have the benefit of attending Whelen's course in CT to learn the ins and outs, nor do we have a Cantrol certified dealer...

Bought a new Whelen Cantrol system from OVERKILL. Arrived super fast, communication was excellent, would not hesitate to recommend! Great ELBer!

Title says it all. Looking for a complete Cantrol system and MUST include software. Dealers welcome but you must be comfortable selling JUST the system, AND shipping to Canada. Will pay fair market value for one. Please PM, thanks.

Neat video showing them being made. There's another on Youtube showing a lot of hand crafting operations which now look to be superseded by CNC production. Elaborate and intricate and made with care in Germany, not mass produced with Chinese electronics. I like how the acoustic chamber shows a...

I find it difficult to wade through the items for sale that I cannot use because they are simply the WRONG COLOR. Is it possible to add an icon or color somehow to the sales threads so we know at a glance if we should click the link or not? Alternatively, posters should be required to post the...

Looking for suggestions and tips on lighting a 2015 Denali 1500. Currently available: Liberty Duo 54" HALO front and rear systems Vertexes in red, amber, white, 2 of each Ion wide angle surface mount red/white HHS2200 with dual SA315P Martinshorn 2297GM Wanted to do a Setina PB450L...

First it must be said I won't be driving to wherever you are to have it installed, so you must be willing to sell the system directly to the end user. I have a local Whelen shop that was CanTrol certified but their tech quit, but we should have the resources to figure it out and get it done. I...

I'm installing ambers for a utility contractor who has one of these god awful ugly MFers as a fiber optic splicing vehicle. Drives nice though I'll give it that but it BARELY fits into the install bay it's so damn tall (it's the high roof version). Here's the equipment as it stands. Please...

Hundreds of sirens have emulated the hi-lo tone of European sirens with varying degrees of success. Frankly I think most North American renditions are poor imitations at best. Since 1932 the Martin company has been producing the first real (and to this day, true) hi-low horn-based siren which we...

First off this isn't a review thread, I might do one of those later once I have the unit mounted and fully operational. Today the secretary at my favorite safety supplier and Whelen distributor emailed me today to say my new light was in. Oh boy! I went down as quick as I could to find out...

Does anyone know if its possible to obtain an empty Whelen Spitfire housing? The original one for the LIN4. I have a surface mount LIN4 that I'd like to put in it so it has sync capability. I know there are other Whelen dash lights available with sync built in but I already have this LIN4...

I use the ComAlert pattern on one of my vehicles' Vertexes and I really like the distinguishable pattern. I've played with a lot of the patterns and actually take the time to view them from a distance. Many of the more rapid flash patterns like SignalAlert, CometFlash, LongFlash, etc. just...

Think I already know the answer but maybe someone here has tried this... Is there any way to sync a WeCan light bar with external lamps? Without needing Cantrol that is (assuming it can do that).

I currently have Whelen Vertexes installed in two of my vehicles as supplemental warning. They're pretty good at night but only decent in the day. Both vehicles' light housings are, shall we say, not optimal for hideaways being both limited in size and the lenses heavily fluted to direct the OEM...

I've noticed with my WeCan Liberty that if it sits idle for any length of time, there is a short (~1 sec) delay in activating any function on it. My other lighting turns on instantly. If the bar has been used recently the functions will go on immediately but I haven't tested how long until it...

I ordered my WeCan Liberty with a set of SXTDLED super TIR takedowns in both the front and the rear to be used as work lights. They're extremely bright but don't have a lot of spread to them which is my only real complaint. A fluted lens or adjustability would improve them as work lights. They...

I just added a toolbox to the back of my pickup and, being a member of this forum, of course got to thinking what kind of lights I should add to it. The truck currently has a Whelen Liberty with Vertex hideaways front and rear. Most of the time it is used for road closures in conjunction with...

Lately my HHS2200 has been squealing with feedback whenever I click the PA mic. Doesn't matter how I hold it, either up to my mouth or away from my body. It's random but seems to do it more often than not. Would anyone care to guess if it's a mic issue or possibly a speaker problem? Speakers are...

Not a LODD notice but related. Very brutal video of a cop getting shot up in a traffic stop. I saw this the other day and was wondering if anyone was familiar with this incident and knew what the outcome was? Most of the YouTube comments are less than savory so don't bother reading them. I'd...

Does anyone know offhand how many amps a Whelen Liberty WeCan I/O board is rated to put out from each outlet?

Probably ten years ago or more, Whelen produced the Traffic Alert siren for Galls with a tone they called Magnapulse. It was basically a yelp/phaser with a stuttered airhorn tone mixed in. Sounded pretty good. Here's a YT vid: So I called Whelen tech support today to ask if they had the...

Literally. My dealer just got a flyer from FedSig the other day advertising a pile of NFPA lighting on for special prices. They had JetSolaris 72" bars on for like $1000, and the QuadraFlare 9x7 LED scene light for $180! I'm normally a Whelen fan but DAMN, thinking of trying out some of those...

I've been having my dealer get me pricing for a Duo Liberty. Since this is the first one he's ever done and I have some specific requirements that Whelen doesn't offer in WeCad, he's been talking to the regional rep a lot about it. Somewhere in conversation a rumour surfaced that a Trio version...

I have an opportunity to pick up a Liberty project bar but it's for a 49" lightbar. The truck it's going to go on is a 2005 Silverado. Will this look ridiculous and I should hold out or a 54", or will it be ok?

As I mentioned in another thread I'd like to get a Liberty for my truck. To buy the basic configuration I'm interested in though would be close to $1,500 retail, and I'm seeing fully populated used Freedoms on this board for a third that. I'm sure I can do much better but at the same time I want...

I've decided that I'd like a lightbar for the truck. The idea is to have four corner LEDs (and maybe a pair of inboards) and the rest will be high intensity LED takedowns, work lights, and alleys. The latter will see the most use. Having just spent a quarter million on a house the lighting...

Can anyone venture a guess as to why this is happening? Have a button on the HHS2200 set up as One Button Alleys for my arrowstick (first press output 3, second press output 4, third press both on, fourth press shuts off). The first press turns nothing on, the relay inside the amp doesn't even...

So it's fairly obvious by now that Whelen is shifting to a new hue of amber for several of their products. The new amber Vertexes have them (with the clear lens) as does the LINZ6. I imagine others do as well. I find the hue very difficult to describe. It's definitely more towards the orange...

I'm interested in outfitting a vehicle with Whelen DUO products; a 2010 Liberty, some 500-series lightheads for the Mirrorbeams, and LINZ6 perimeter lights. My local dealer can get this stuff but they don't buy in huge volume and the price point is pretty high. Who else out here stocks and sells...
