It's about time they released a linear ion rear deck light! Unfortunately, I'm sure it'll be a pretty penny. Any of the dealers have an idea yet on pricing for the single, duo, & trio models?

Also, I find it funny how they make such an emphasis on their vehicle-specific shrouds (as if this is the first ILB ever to have a vehicle-specific shroud) and on the fact that the inner edge can be moved to another vehicle by just purchasing a different shroud

I like how they took a minute to describe flash back and how its like having kids in the back seat distracting you... like flashback was a new idea....

and those people are so "right" for that job....

:hopeless:

I'm kinda amazed that in 2015, when strobes have been a thing of the past for a while and Whelen just discontinued their Super Strobe, they offer a center strobe in their latest and greatest fully redesigned Liberty II of all things. I'm sure it's just meant as an Opticom or whatever, but I woulda thought they'd be pushing the infrared-LEDs exclusively instead. Maybe there's just too many jurisdictions still using strobe preemption devices, and detectors that rely on the visible spectrum...

The M4V doesnt look bad, hopefully they do this to the M9 (if they haven't already).

Agreed on the ION-T looking like the LED Tomar RECT- series lights, very nice!

"Freedom IV"? I know what the I and II are but what happened to the Freedom III? Or are they pulling a WIndows 10 and forgetting how to count?

Dual level might be trade marked by someone else. "Linear" is trademarked by Whelen and they tried taking Star/SVP to court over their "Lineum" named optics being too similar.

They did that for a reason...

Though skipping the 13th floor when building a skyscraper comes to mind....
