Looks like someone left an MX7000 in the oven for a bit. Looks like it could have potential though........SafetyLighting said:

Jamey@NNE said:Im not 100% on that. I think some are here and some not. The fedsig rep here still will get heated and argue with you if you tell him the micropulse is foreign product rebranded.
bluestinger90 said:Do they make them here, or do they import the led light heads and/or electronics from Taiwan and assemble them in the US? Below is a picture of a code3 tricore bar being assembled.
I'm not arguing the merit of your comment, but it would great to learn more about how code3 does things. code3 does source a lot of their led products from Taiwan.
For example, Federal Signal gets their PCB boards from China, and then adds everything else in the US.

emtanderson51 said:It is my understanding that none of the super LED's are made in the USA. The product has to be something like 95% made here to be "made/manufactured in America". The XT series of lights are known to be made overseas and are priced as such. The bars are made here and also priced as such. The bar frames, wiring, lenses, electronics, feet, cables etc are all made/manufactured here..

factorone33 said:The minimum is 85%, and when I was working for the Whelen rep, we actually spoke to the guys in Taiwan who supplied most of the diodes and PCB assemblies for Code 3, SOS, SoundOff, etc.
Thus far, Whelen is the only company that gets 99% of its product components domestically (the only thing they can't get is the magnets for their speakers, and everyone has to get those from China because, well, China is the only place with Neodymium ferrite ore).
Based upon our talks with Tomar, I understand why you mention them. However, if you compare Star/SVP products to that of Whelen, Code 3, and Federal Signal then I'm not sure I see the validity in your statement. Take the DLX6 SVP DLX6 Versa Star LightheadVs Ion SIRENNET.COM - Whelen ION Series Super-LED Light. We commonly sell the DLX6 for a $4.00 under the Ion. Additionally we often run sales on them to lower the price point.bluestinger90 said:Other people here have mentioned that Tomar and Star/SVP do everything in house for their led assemblies, except for diodes, which I don't think anyone makes in the US. That would probably help explain why Tomar and Star/SVP are more expensive then everyone else.

The problem you run into is that you often have greedy dealers or dealers that have more loyalty to other brands. Often times those other brands put pressure on the dealers to show their brand in a better light. Take Sirennet for instance, we all know they are one of the leading sellers in Whelen Equipment. We never see them mention or feature anything from SVP do we? Did you even know they carried it? Well they do. SIRENNET.COM - Star/SVP VersaStar DLX6 LED Warning Light
While researching brands, we often noticed this was an issue.
bluestinger90 said:They carry lots of star/svp products, and they mention them frequently. It's just rebranded as sirennet products. I think their youtube channel has a tendency to focus on new items, and Whelen is usually releasing something new.

I don't know about the other companies and how they do things. I'm not trying to create a made in the USA shit storm thread about it. A USA shit storm will take 3-4 weeks by boat from China.

Code 3 Fire & EMS > Solex

firefighter31 said:dear code 3,
the whole siren in lightbar idea was fazed out 10+ years ago..please try to catch up to the current time.
thanks
NPS Ranger said:But this is a "powerful new option, a second level that allows for a 100-watt speaker with no loss of rear warning light capability." Wow! What will they think of next?
Jamey@NNE said:That feature is for the international market not domestic.
Agreed. Mounting speakers on the roof has gone the way of riding on the running boards. I'd gladly look one over if Code 3 wanted, but I can't say I'm impressed by speakers being offered in a roof mount lightbar.firefighter31 said:dear code 3,

bluestinger90 said:I think this is it. It's called the Solex. It's different.
A non linear bar would have been a winner. This is just strange. Everyone is going low profile, and they release a hunch back bar.
Taken from the code3 website;
- Second level that allows for additional massive takedown lighting, additional flashing or steady burn warning lights, a 100-watt speaker with no loss of rear warning light capability, traffic emitters, and other potential warning or add-on devices.
- Aerodynamic shape and styling maximize vehicle performance as well as matches the contours of today's and tomorrow's vehicles
- Single or multicolor linear collimated LED lightheads are designed for usage with a central controller board or can flash independently, depending on your requirements
- Aluminum frame and lighthead mounting platform are designed for heavy duty use and vibration, exceeding the requirements for SAE, CA T13 or European testing standards.
- Lens caps protect internal components from UV degradation, easily shed water, ice or snow and provide aerodynamic shape
- Thick, heavy duty lower lenses are designed for exceptional wear life
