I just purchased one of these for our support unit, and I'm impressed with it.
35.28" long and weighs about 7 lbs
8 head, 4- 1 watt led's per head
interior/exterior design
Fit And Finish-
The unit and control head are very well made, fit and finish is excellent. It doesn't look like my brother's kids built it. Appears to be a well thought out design and should hold up well to extream conditions. Comes with a sheilded 10ft control harness(extensions available for an additional price), with two simple plug-ins, alot easier to deal with compared to the 7 wires on code 3's classic arrow-stik.
The control module is basicly a rectangular box with an open bottom. Again, very rugged and simple to use. You have your directional knob with 4 positions, left, right,split, and flash. A pattern selection momentary switch, on/off switch, and low power switch also included.
Hardware-
Mine came with 3 L-brackets and 2 swivel brackets for mounting on the rear deck/window. The L-brackets are quite oversized, and have notches for trimming them down. The swivel brackets appear to be the same type provided by whelen on most interior application. The unit uses the rear slide-bolts for using the L-brackets, and the swivel mount just uses existing screws on each end of the stick. Comes with plenty of extra bolts, nuts, and washers.
For the controller, there was no mounting hardware included, just two holes in the top side of the box for bolting it to another switchbox or console. I must say i wish it had some sort of bail-mount hardware included, for a stand-alone application.
Installation-
As easy as it gets. Mount your brackets, install the slide bolts, run the cable into the cab, plug in 2 connectors, run power and ground, and your done. Well....as soon as you make your custom mounting brackets for the controller anyhow...
Performance-
As i said above...I'm impressed. This thing can be seen from space on the low-power setting. Outside, on a sunny 90 degree day, i had to were my sunglasses to watch it on high-power mode. VERY bright! You will not be dissapointed in that department. Off-axis is very good as well.
The unit has 32 patterns, with a pattern control momentary switch on the controller (no more dip switches). You get 8 patterns for each directional setting (left,right,split) and 8 warning patterns.
The controller has an 8 led advisor that displays the pattern shown outside.
I give it a 9 overall.
Pros- VERY Bright
Easy to install
Good price ($269)
Vast array of patterns, easily switched from the controller
Cons- No mounting hardware for controller
No back-lighting on controller
You can watch a video of this product on their website. I have videos, but don't know how to post them on here.
