Feniex Fusion 800 stick vs multiple Talons

I might be outfitting a Jeep Wrangler in the next few months with interior lights and trying to decide on the best method for front warning. Was originally looking at doing 4 Dual Talons or Dual Avengers across the top of the windshield, but pricing and 40/180 optics have me leaning toward the Feniex Fusion 800. Any input on this? I'd likely do the single color Fusion 800 all blue with takedowns, and have the Duals set up B/B, B/W, W/B, B/B.

Thanks!

4 dual talons/avengers would look tacky, give you less functionality, and wouldn't sit right against the wrangler windshield. In this case, I'd go with the fusion 800 b/c it can sit flush against the windshield (which minimizes any loss of output), it's a cleaner mounting option, you have full flood option, and it's waterproof. I'd go with the 180 optics for the outer Inboards and the 40 optics for the centered Inboards being used as TDs

I was going to trim the flash shield so they were basically flush (hard mount to the windshield frame fascia) to the glass, but you've all pushed me toward the Fusion... I know it'll be brighter.

i would do this with all B/W modules
Are you suggesting to get the dual color bar? Blue/white would be killer, just really have to remember to turn off the white on scene. I guess that would let me have a front arrow bar, too (albiet in blue).

Thanks for the input!

I would run the dual color B/W giving you a B/W flash for responding. Blue only for stationary and flood when needed. Just wish the sticks had a low power mode and sync

Did a Cobra600 and it turned out great. Much cleaner than a bunch of avengers.
