Let the speculation begin!

HILO said:The add says 'illuminating innovation'. That can only mean it is a toaster with multi color LED lighting, streamlined an 8th of an inch thicker than a slice of bread.

bluestinger90 said:Even larger scene lighting? How big can you go? Interestingly they own a company that produces large hydraulic lifts; Bronto Skylift Rescue and Fire fighting vehicles
Travelin Man said:Federal Signal hasn't owned Bronto for about three years. Bronto is now a Pierce product. FS also owned E-One for a few years and nearly ran E-One into the ground.
K9Vic said:Pierce is a division of Oshkosh trucks and there is no mention of Bronto Skylift being owned by Oshkosh.
Oshkosh Corporation - Our Leading Brands
nerdly_dood said:Based on the ad, my guess is it'll be scene lighting to compete with the Whelen Pioneer series.
leftcoastmark said:Nope, not a scene light. FedSig has a reseller agreement with FRC now and is selling that under their "Commander" line.
You'll like the new widget though. I was pretty impressed when I got a sneak preview last week. It's safe to say it's never before been done in the industry.
bluestinger90 said:Then what? Why is the source of light so high up in the air? Is it a remote control fire fighting done? That shoots lasers, and lens flares?
leftcoastmark said:Don't read too much into the graphic at the top of the page. The light placement in the image has nothing to do with the product. I wish I could tell you more but I can't (can't, not won't).
I can say that there have been one or two guesses on the posts above that are pretty close, and it has nothing to do with a toaster. :undecided:

bluestinger90 said:It's a lightbar that can toast bread. Who needs a license plate reader, when you can have freshly toasted bread.
Kevin K. said:Can it be?!? They're really coming out with a linear bar stuffed with SLR rotators?!? The StreetHawk SLR! IT LIVES!
Going along with the speculation made in the closed thread, I'm wondering if FedSig is actually doing a full-sized Escape lightbar stuffed with QuadraFlare modules, like the ones tested for the FDNY a few years ago. That'd be a good alternative for those who aren't comfortable with the ROC technology.
Mark, didn't you say something recently about the Vision SLR (at least the split version)?
leftcoastmark said:I think he meant a linear bar with SLR Rotators on it. No, nothing for that. There are going to be some changes in the split "V" bars but it's a few months away. More on that later.
