Got to try out a demo legacy. Was hoping to compare it to a demo integrity at the same time but the integrity never got mounted up in time.

I didn't have a choice for night vs day for the videos, I usually arrived at dusk and by the time I finished playing with the programming the sun was setting.

Watch in 720p

Slide Switch 1: (steady flash front / zig zag back)

There are some really great patterns there. For slide position 3, I think it is a little overloaded with white. You lose the colors in it which hinders its effectiveness in my opinion.

I would like to see a pattern like this

Have the red and blue alternate in a half and half signal alert type pattern then have two slow single flashes of the entire rear of the bar amber. I think that would be super effective.

Yeah I thought the intersection had too much white as well, I had toyed with this pattern:

But it didn't turn out like I thought it would. If we were putting it into service I think I'd go more with a moduflash and single flash 300 pattern for intersections, with a tiny bit of white kicker.

I tried doing a few things along these lines, but there doesn't seem to be a way to set it up to do something along the lines of 3 cycles of one pattern or color and then 3 cycles of a different pattern or color. If anyone knows how please let me know.

Great patterns overall. I love how you can have amber with red/blue dimmed in background.


What's the difference between slide 3 and intersection? Or is slide 3 the intersection pattern?
