Anybody use their eflood series light bars? I was looking at the Tru-dual eflood 7200 to go behind my front grill.
07 Chevy Avalanche front lower grill. My grill opening is 40" wide x 5" high.
Yep! I love mine. I use my regular light bar portion all the time, but the ability to run red and blue's with it also rocks. I've got mine sync'd with my lights on the side of my push bar as well as my visor bar.Anybody use their eflood series light bars?

Negative.Are all your lights strobes n more brand?
As long as you can set those lights to steady burn it shouldn't be an issue wiring things up the way you want them. Not sure on the E66 though. When I had my E66 mini it had an internal flasher.Right now I'm running a dual avenger in my windshield and vertex competitors in my reverse light housings. So I want to add two more vertex's up front synced with the rear vertex's and the Tru-dual 7200 and an amber warning bar ( possibly the e66) on a Whelen ulf44.

Shoulda worded my post differently. Is this something people have used and KNOW will fix or, or is it just something to try and HOPE it fixes it?yes... sometime more than one is neccessary
An update.in "theory" and application it works... your mileage may vary according to which chineese child soldered it that day...
this is the reason why there are ferrite beads on most computer monitors, laptop chargers, keyboards, etc...
You're not the first person to state the Strobes N More's customer support is almost non existent even though they claim to offer 2-5yr warranties on all their items! I really had hopes for the eflood light, but hearing your story I'll pass. Tom @ AWL informed me that they're coming out with some new stuff soon so I'll wait.An update.
I placed two each of the ferrite tablet deals on the power wires on the light bar, did not fix the issue. Strobes N More has still never replied with a solution to the issue.
Time to move on I'm afraid, while the light packs a huge punch, I no longer recommend this light to anyone specifically for this issue.
Flood light causes interference too...Does the flood light also cause interference to the radio, or just the red/blues? They likely use different power regulators so I could see one causing problems and the other not (or both... chinese).
I just emailed them to see if theirs would have the same issues or not. I will advise.Able2/Sho-Me makes a version also. They called the emergency scene lighting

Very quick response from Able 2, doing better already:
"Good morning,
Thanks for the inquiry about the Emergency Scene Light. Unfortunately, there is always the possibility of noise with these lights. I believe it is the inductor that produces RF interference. Some are worse than others. You may get one that you barely notice it and others you can actually hear it with the human ear. We have not had a big problem with this on the Emergency Scene light. However, I can't guarantee that you won't. May not be a very good sales pitch, but I want you to know the truth before you purchase. As with all Able-2 Products, they do have our "No Hassle" warranty. On that particular unit it is a 2 year warranty. And unlike Strobes-N-More, we will answer our phone! (I read the thread on E-Light)

Looks like we're up a crick on getting a decent light that doesn't have the RF interference.
