My thoughts exactly.The rear is decent, I really like what was done with the tail lights. I like the roof rack lights to the front and rear, but not the sides. I like the driving lights and HLF. The grill is a hot mess, and the 900 series seems to block a lot of fresh air, while the smaller lights are just distracting. The 3 LED heads look pretty effective, it is an attention grabbing pattern, but just look terrible sitting there. My opinion is it is an effective warning set up, just clunky and awkward when not in use.
I watched the part of the video with the vertex a few times, and really like the way the 3 lights grab attention. For an intersection light, a burst is very eye catching, simply because it can not blend in with a turn signal. We see a steady paced flashing light at an intersection, our brain thinks it is another turn signal, until brain registers the colors. With the burst, the brain registers something different right away.Why no sync on the intersection Vertexes!?!? You can't mount small, multi-colored lights that close together and not sync them. Otherwise I like it, especially the rear- nice slow patterns and big blocks of solid color.
+1. Also single or dual AH, and what type of compressor/tank?What air horn are you using, where did you put the compressor and tank.
But plenty of sync fail (the Vertexes), aiming fail (the upward-facing TIR6s - landing zone lights?), and overkill. You don't need that many grille lights... especially those ugly orange lights. Two M4s in the grille would have been sufficient.Ok the ions on the mirror will be fixed. The vertex on one side need to be synced. The siren is the Whelen Duel siren with a second 200watt Whelen Alpha hooked up to the same keypad. Total of 4 speakers. Air Horn is a Grover 1510. The button for the air horn is on the shifter in place of the O/D button.
I think the patterns are great with no split fail.
HAHAAHAHAI'm sure we can all guess where and who this belongs to........... Kill it with fire!!!
I am curious where the air horn is mounted. Install threads should have information about what is installed, etc.
Yeah, its also in the rules...What??? You think people should show mounting, wiring and other true install type stuff not just blinking lights?
Haha I fully agree!
There is no sync fail or split fail on this install. The 3 vertex sync has been connected after this vid. Don't understand how a Whelen Duel siren is a mess. We added a second 200watt siren to it. I think it's very loud and effective having 2 200watt sirens. No mess as the second siren was added to the same keypad.I see plenty of SYNCH-FAIL on this one. The new Whelen Dual Mode siren is the highlight of this mess!
The customer didn't want a full Lightbar. I do agree a Lightbar is the most effective option. I would have gotten a Legacy.Shoulda just went with a Valor.
It's a very big grill. They are Red M9 in the grill. I think M4 would get lost in this grill. A rect14 lightstick with 2 M9 is not a lot of grill lights.But plenty of sync fail (the Vertexes), aiming fail (the upward-facing TIR6s - landing zone lights?), and overkill. You don't need that many grille lights... especially those ugly orange lights. Two M4s in the grille would have been sufficient.
But, knowing who this is going to, I'm not shocked!
What air horn are you using, where did you put the compressor and tank.
+1. Also single or dual AH, and what type of compressor/tank?
Also not really a good idea or location for the AH switch.. I have a feeling that client may have some transmission issues in the near future. (I can see a "oopsie" gear change when operating that while moving...)
I would of suggested wiring it upto the horn ring circuit, (with a separate on/off switch) or ideally a foot switch.
...I'm still waiting for info on the compressor and air tank used, and mounting locations..
