Since code 3 gets trolled so much I figured we should start a thread to capture it. I caught one yesterday on facebook and sure as hell, they deleted it within 15 minutes at like 9:00 at night. LOL wonder if they blocked the guy too. code3a.jpeg code3b.jpeg

My favorite thing to do with Code 3 bars is to gut them, and replace everything with Feniex products...

Why don't people like Code 3?
I was in Springfield, MO a few years back & was passed by a city squadcar with a Defender (with quad core) & it gave the best emergency lighting I've ever seen from a lightbar.

I think their are several reasons but one is that they fell behind on LED technology and are playing a catch up game. Another is that ECCO bought them out 2 years ago, which were mainly in the amber market, imo and several others Ecco's quality is ok but the prices are high. The quality on Code3 products started slipping years ago.
These threads below will also give you some more answers as too why.

Just to address the original comment from "Brian Patrick"; Whelen does have Duo/Trio and they are probably getting ready to release Quadro and Cinco, but the point of the Pursuit is being able to have multiple colors or scene/flood etc, without losing the primary warning lights. The Tricore/QuadCore tech has been very popular and is very effective. I'm not a fan of some Code3 product, but the Defender and even more so the Pursuit, are excellent lightbars.
