Control Module Help/Suggestions?

[kilodelta97]

I have a dozen or so Whelen Ions-T Linear that are Duo red/white. I've used them on a previous vehicle but I had them sync'ed via the wires on the back. I've also done this with a ULF44 flasher and single color ions. I'm looking to put them in my new vehicle and include a interior light bar in the visor that is also red/white duo. I want the ions and the visor bar to flash the same pattern in sync in alternating red/white. I'm looking for suggestions on a control module (WeCan, etc) that can accomplish this. I had looked into buying an entire Feniex fusion system but I didn't want to waste the ions I already have.

What are you suggestions for a control system that can accomplish this? Can I use the ULF44 I already have or do I need to get a more robust control system? I looked into doing a Smart Logic flasher but I don't know how well that would pair with an interior lightbar with multiple heads per side... If i made the ions steady burn, could I use them with a feniex system (fusion?) and a feniex interior visor bar?
What visor bar should I look into getting? I'm not dead-set on whelen if there's a better method of doing it with another bar, but I stay away from the junk brands like STL etc.

Any help is much appreciated. Sorry for all the questions... I'm far from a beginner but I have never used any programmable systems, just hard wire syncing and ULF44.

Your interior bar is going to be the biggest part of this equation. If you are getting a bar that is programmable, as far as Whelen products go, the only way to achieve true sync is via a core system. If you custom built a bar, that you could set to steady, and use an external flasher, then you have quite a bit more affordable options. A few ULF44s could accomplish everything that you need. Do you need a siren? If not, a Core C and an expansion module would be the direction that I would go.

I do need an option for a siren in the future. I found multiple used/NOS ILBs that are Whelen WeCan (Non-WCX). If I went this route, I would do the CCTL9 head with a WeCan universal control point. I believe this would allow me to use the ILB synced with Ions that are on steady-burn, correct?

This would not work at all. The CCTL9 is just a control head for the core system, it has no capabilities of anything on its own. Anything WC will not sync with peripherals. There are some programming work arounds, but they are not seamless. The only way for seamless sync with Whelen is a WCX inner edge, and a WCX flasher. Or, building your own ILB, and using syncable flashers such as the ULF44 to flash everything. Or a smart logic to flash everything.
