While I would agree 100% on the GEN1 Phantoms, after seeing the new ones at the Harrisburg Expo, I was pleasantly surprised by how bright they were!!HPD84 said:my opinions below...
SVP Phantom- cheap design,not really bright.
HPD84 said:Whelen Inner-Edge- the best/most common! go for the lin6 or linz6 model
TangoDown said:Just out of curiosity, why would you pick the LIN model over the TIR model?
HPD84 said:Axixtech Stealth- no comment :roll:
WTFD said:And what's your beef with the stealth visor? Have you seen one in person? It has the same number of LEDs as a LINZ6 inner edge... I realize it's not the whelen name, but for less money it does a damn good job.
PJD642 said:The only one I've used is the SOS Pinnacle - EXCELLENT bar, imho. Plenty of light output. Not sure about TDs since I didn't get 'em and use external ones. Thin is nice since it doesn't obstruct my view of stop lights, etc. Plenty of different flash patterns, just make your own mounting brackets and install with rivet nuts, 'cause the visor-mounts don't hold it that well. Same probably goes for most other interior bars re: mounts.

Klein said:FS ILS is pretty much the brightest bar on the market, IMO. The SV56 is outstanding for the price. Yea it has weird mounting issues but if you can get it mounted correctly, it is nasty bright. The new Whelen Inner Edges are pretty cool but more $ than a SV. The ILS is also probably the most expensive bar but it is also worth every dollar. There is a video of mine and I love it. I had to customize the mounting because they do not make one for an Explorer but it was worth the work. FS were geniuses with positioning the heads at different angles on the frame to make sure that there is no dead spot. You can see for yourself in the video that even from the size your intersection protection is still intact. It has some great patterns, the TD are super bright and wiring is a breeze.

GranPrix said:Yup, I think so to. I am very impressed with the ILS in direct sunlight.
What do you have in the back of the Explorer?

Rusted413 said:Saw my first Fed Sig ILS yesterday. Huge footprint (from what I understand it is almost too big on the inside), looked like a full sized lightbar and very bright. Would be worth checking out I'm sure. I remember talk about Tomar coming out with an interior bar, but that obviously has not happened yet.
