New Feniex Quad

Just got this in my inbox.
Great concept with some drawbacks/concerns. The optics...meh. I worry about some states that make it a felony to have any red (or blue) lights even mounted to a vehicle. And those that need or want colored lenses will be sol.

It's all for marketing... functionally, those optics are garbage when it comes to spread and intensity. However, everyone will have their own opinion and shouldn't make any decisions without first seeing it in person.

same optic in the mPower a lot of people are happy with. But I will agree judgement should be held until people get to see it in person.

As far as legality, if they can't sell a single or dual color light with a certain color the dealer shouldn't sell this. Not sure why there is so much butt hurt about it.

Agreed. When this optic doesn't deliver, they'll just pull it off the production line and leave all their dealers stocked with something no one wants to buy... again.

I didnt realize it was the same as Mpower. Guess I should brush up on SOSs lineup. Just not very popular in my locale. And agreed I may be eating my words when I get to see one.

It definitely has its uses. Round here vollies run blue and now want flood as a standard. Most of them are farmers and also want amber when working farm stuff so they have 2 mini bars on their roof. This would solve some of that here.

Since its 4 color if you only need 3 then could the 4th be an extra whatever I wonder?

 

[FEVER]

Well.. They are going to be 30% more than dual color. the price point apparently was pretty close going from 2 - 4 as it was going 2-3. It's not so much that every color will be used as much as it was an economy of scale decision. IF they think they can viably eliminate their single and dual color lines they think they can reduce the price of quad by streamlining production and bulk supply cost going down.

 

[Sparky_911]

That's my biggest worry. Single and dual color go by the way side. Very cost effective for the consumer that doesn't need all the extras.

Still 30% sounds reasonable.

Essentially the Surface mount would be $100 Which is cheaper than other triple and even some dual color products on the market. I think they would LIKE to get away from single and dual eventually, but ultimately the market is going to dictate what they do.

 

[Dave F]

Just my honest opinion it would be a poor decision on their behalf to do away with single or especially dual. I have (and can only use) blue/white and blue/amber on my Jeep, and that suits me just fine.

This is a fairly exciting product line. The company i'm subcontracting to is already lined up for a beta test on the QUAD bar, and i'm pushing for the surface mount beta as well. Sounds like there will be a seamless integration with the new controller as well

Sounds like there will be a seamless integration with the new controller as well

putting "feniex" and "seamless" into the same conversation is the biggest oxymoron in the whole emergency lighting/siren industry

30% is a lot of money for something you may or may not need. The reality is people by Feniex because it's cheap. If it's going to cost the same as Whelen or Soundoff then what's the point?
