Hello,
Recently started a new project doing some highway work on a major road here in Virginia. The company I am with is requiring amber 360deg lighting for all vehicles and providing mini light bars for most people. However a few of us can't make use of these because our jeeps have soft tops.
I am trying to come up with a reasonably priced alternative to the light bars they are getting ($250-$300) to use on the jeeps (TJs and JKs). Company will be reimbursing but want to keep it in the same price range as the light bars they're getting. I don't know what brand they are purchasing they just called a few places quick and went with the lowest bidder.
Leaning towards the following setup right now:
Front:
2x Feniex Fusion mounted vertically in the grill (L-Bracket)
Rear:
1x Feniex Fusion mounted horizontally on third brake light, above spare tire (rotating mount)
2x Feniex T3's mounted on top of existing lights (rotating mount)
Alternative: Use 2x Amber/White cannons in the reverse lights to cut down on the visiblity of the lights when not in use. (+$25 per light)
This setup prices out to about $285 but I wanted to hear some thoughts on this setup. The only downside is that it does not provide true 360 deg coverage, but I am thinking just run the flashers (jeeps have side fender markers) to take care of this.
I am confident this setup will be bright enough during night work, but it also needs to be bright enough for 70mph traffic to see a ways away during the bright daylight hours.
I am planning on doing the install myself. Am I correct in my understanding that I will not need a control box for these, I can set them once to the correct patterns and then just do a simple power switch? Also can the Fusions be run to have them act in two 3led segments, ie flash the left 3 leds then the right 3 leds?
Thanks for your help guys. I had no idea how deep the POV lighting rabbit hole went before this week.
