Mine arrived today also. With me working nights, I had yet to see one of these in action in bright mid afternoon FL sunlight, so I took the time to set it up and do some side by side comparison With a r/b Mini Phantom Max, and Whelen (single) Dash King 2000 LED in split r/b. Right off the bat it was clear this was an unfair competition for the dash king, so I pulled the plug on him haha. Now it may shock some people, but best I could tell, the phantom and the talon are about the same brightness head on, with the phantom (surprisingly) maybe even being a bit brighter in the sunlight. I played with mounting locations and angles to try to get them even, and the results stayed the same. Off axis (45degree) the phantom was the clear victor, which doesn't surprise me due to the way the light curves slightly. I will say though that it seemed the TN's reflectors were catching some sunlight, which was probably washing out the LED's a bit. I am fairly certain based on what I have seen, that the results will be very different at night.

Just confirmed the coupon code is still valid. $89.98 and fee shipping for a Dual Talon is a great deal, especially since they used to sell the original Whelen Dual Talon a couple years ago at $249.98!

Cool, I went looking for the code when the other link we were all using got shutdown, but I wasn't actually able to confirm it worked since I had already placed my order over the weekend.

I'm just curious, which Mini-Phantom do you have? The original one, or the newer "Max"... or whatever they call it?

Holy HUGE gear bag!!

Everything arrived today, the Talons were tested successfully and the Galls Gear Bag is a LOT bigger than it looks in the catalog or on the website.

AMEN!! what a deal we got..


Got my 5 talons in the mail today and the gear bag and was shocked when I opened the bag to realize it was like the deluxe version. My talons are dated 7/10

Two A/A TNs arrived today. No gear bag in the box - it shows to be backordered.

Well, quick service on the "backorder". The gear bag arrived today (TNs arrived yesterday).

Does anyone have any B/B or B/A TN series Talons for sale? I am sure there's some extra ones floating around since from what I have been reading alot of people just bought them for the free Duty Bag.


Well please let me know and stay safe

Looks like the only have 3 amber TNs left and will soon be all gone. Just out of curiosity I added 5 to my cart and it said "Out of stock", after changing it to 3 it shows "In Stock". So my guess is they are almost gone, so grab the last two while you still can. Do not know of any 10% deals, but still $99.98 is a good price for a Talon. Lets see how long it will take for them to be gone after this post, LOL!!
