I realize this won't be a super best seller or anything... but it wouldn't exactly require much effort or any additional materials/tooling... one or more of these ILB makers should consider just selling the outer shell/brackets... especially with sites like ELB and with departments trying to recycle lights as much as possible... if say a department dismantles a vehicle and has a bunch of LINZ6 or whatever type of modules they pulled out of a bar, how cool would it be to be able to buy a universal shell that they could just pop some lights into (that either included or didn't include a flasher)... or if someone had a bunch of Feniex T6 lights laying around they could pop them into a bar... obviously the T6's have their own flasher so wouldn't NEED an external one, so it would be cool for it to be optional... but there are a number of ILB makers that use a customizable design type shell which seems could be utilized or easily adapted to a more universal application... By that I mean the ones that let you just unplug modules and move them around... obviously the shells where the lights are hardwired to a single board wouldn't be so easy to utilize, but most of these ILB shells are really just a big L shaped piece of plastic with a curve to it and some visor brackets... I bet a bunch of smaller departments would love to be able to re-purpose the modules from older regular lightbars or maybe some older surface mount modules (like T6, LINZ6, LIN3, TIR6, XPS6, etc.)
They could make it extra fancy by attaching a 15 ft heavy duty power cord with a distribution block or terminal or something inside the bar for a more professional appearance also)...
For reference here's a Feniex Pegasus bar... imagine just having a universal type backing plate behind each head where you could mount whatever light you wanted...
Also the same idea could carry over to warning bars... imagine being able to stick in 8 ion's or something similar into a bar for a clean install... it wouldn't necessarily have to be waterproof for external installations as the modules themselves would be... but it would make a much cleaner installation to have a universal "channel" to mount them into rather than just trying to line up a bunch of light heads... but again I think it would be best suited for interior usage... take those same type of modules mentioned above that had been cannibalized from an exterior lightbar, and have a NICE looking chassis to mount them into....
And the same idea could even carry over to dash lights... I've seen members on here use the shell from older dash lights and mount a couple GEN3 lightheads in the opening... why not be able to use some repurposed modules from a lightbar to do the same thing...
