We are just weeks away from getting our first shipment of Interior Lightbars and I can't tell you how excited I am with the final product. The output is far above almost anything on the market today, the fit and finish came out better than expected, and the mounting system we went with should make these universal lights mount very easily in most vehicles. I will get a video up with more information real soon but you will be able to order just the drivers side, passenger side or both sides at once for a discount. If you decide you want to start with one side then add the other its easily done with our system. As for the pricing, all I can say is you will like it. The lights come with 2 sets of forked shaped mounts with a permanent mount screw hole if you want to go that route. We have tried them on several popular police and fire vehicles and they mounted very easily. We went with a slide track on the rear of the unit so you aren't stuck with one set of holes like most of the interior bars out today. You can adjust where the mounts fall on the light based on your visor mounts with ease.


As for the output its incredible and the patterns will allow 6x6 flashing or 3x3. With the 3x3 flash you get 8 separate heads flashing on the bar. Other than that ill update when its on the site and the video is up. One other note is we will not be offering takedown lights. We dont feel they give the output you get with a full size exterior bar and we wanted to give you more warning light output.


Please note this is not the final bar. The final bar will have some slight modifications such as the cable routing, and some things on the back you cant see in these pics. Take care and be safe. Louis

One other note I forgot to make. On our forum many have commented that these are our current E6Minis. They use the same optic but the LEDs are different and larger as with the larger heat sink in the bar we can burn much brighter LEDs without damaging them.

Is it a metal housing?

Very nice Louis, it looks like a cool design. I can't wait to see a video of the final product

I'd be interested to hear about the dimensions. You mentioned that these were similar to the E6 Mini. They are certainly low profile. Can you comment on the total height of the bar? 1", less than 1"?

The bars are just under and inch tall and they will be 2 piece units, passenger and driver. As I said you will be able to buy half now and the other half later and add it or just buy the entire setup all at once.

Patterns don't look that bad. Definitely better than some of the CPS authority patterns. Ever see them? They suck

Did anyone notice if there was the typical 3 or 4 flash where it was the entire right bar, then the entire left? Then I might be interested. Not a fan of the seizure patterns

CPS Authority sucks in general so that doesn't surprise me.

That's one thing I was looking for as well. Hopefully it comes with a pattern like that that just wasn't shown in the video.

That's pretty expensive for what it is, that's in Feniex Pegasus territory and the Pegasus has vehicle specific mounts and a hell of alot more options in configuration. This thing had potential but for the price and lack of options I'm not sure how successful it will be.

Give me a full bar for free and I'll edit the web page and fix the abundant spelling and grammar errors.


I can understand being in a hurry to get the product on the site. However, it doesn't take more than a few minutes to edit. Hell, if you're not good at spelling ask someone who is to look it over.

Louis, that looks great!


Any plans to offer it dual color soon? I'm sure red/blue would be a winner for up front, and i think a dual color with amber would work well if someone popped the eclipse on their rear deck (of a sedan, or course).


Also, how long until we see a full size SNM lightbar?

Heck, give me nothing but access to fix the website.. That's a huge pet peeve of mine, professional companies/agencies who cannot properly spell on their websites/social media pages.


It's not that hard to proofread your stuff before you post.. PLEASE DO IT.


That said, the lightbar looks good. Hopefully someone on elb will buy one and do a review on it.

I like the open slots in the back of the housing for flexibility in mounting. For this being an economy product, I agree Feniex will be a direct competitor, but it's still a better price than some of the big names that I'm aware of. I think Axixtech's SV40 would be a competitor when comparing pricing.

Just a few observations from when I first saw it in Louis' post earlier:


A) The dominator-type sliding mounting option is nice for a universal bar


B) While many other interior bars out there have 3-4 LEDs per module, this has 6; we already know that Louis' E series lights have solid output, so i don't question the quality of these


C) it looks well-built; an aluminum frame is not a standard on economy lightbars


D) while it may be approaching the feniex Pegasus price, that doesn't mean this is overpriced. While feniex has been a new innovator in the lighting industry, it is not an authority or standard in pricing


E) I think it's a nice option to buy " a la carte" and add the driver half down the road if you're strapped for cash

I hope it's better than the Feniex Pegasus I just installed.(My first and last) With that being said most SNM products I have used held up well.

And just what's wrong with the Pegasus?

The Pegasus is not that long of an interior bar. If you look at many of the videos some don't quite reach mirrors. That's mostly in trucks. As for flashback, all interior bars require a bit of tweaking.


Just my experience with them.


Have you contacted Feniex?

I like the idea of being able to buy half at a time. I will be interested in seeing some reviews once a few people get it. I am curious how well it goes through tint? I was going to get a Pegasus. but maybe I will wait. Being universal will make it easier to resell since we all do it lol

I not only called but sent them pictures of the bar installed,


Also this bar went in the same vehicle type as their demo suv on their website so you would think they would get this one right.


We have both federal signals and soundoff interior bars in use and they don't have this kind of flashback,


feniex stated just bend the brackets to make it work or tweaking, (why not just sell a universal bar)

Louis mentioned out new products that will be coming out soon. That could be interesting. Having the option of being able to order just half a bar makes it tempting to check it out.
 
Louis,


Can this be ordered as RRRR/BBBB or does it have to be RBRB/RBRB? Do the modules move around so you could make even more patters? Does the bar do half and half a flash pattern, I only see solid flash, in/out, and siezure modes.


Thanks

Uh oh. Cardinal sin to speak out about Feniex around here. My experiences with their interior bars have been less than stellar, too. To be fair, I think interior bars suck overall, but some clearly are better than others.


Edited to add my two cents about SnM's bar...


Looks good, I think the mounting approach is clever. As far as patterns, I thought some were very good and more than adequate. Interior bars should offer large-footprint patterns, as they are not as bright as "we" think they are due to tint, polarization, windshield angle, flashback (even if not perceived by driver, flashback occurs as light reflects off glass interior and back into its emitter), and sun glare off the exterior glass. So overcome this with large in/out patterns or full side/side patterns. The even/odd staggered patterns are not a great choice except for looking cool up close.


I am glad to see another option in the lower price category, even if it is not a US product, so long as it's quality. I've used SnM stuff before, and it's very good for the price.

I am just not to sure about some of the patterns. They should just list all the different patterns. Sometimes it is hard to see if there is one you like when they scroll through a few of them quickly.


I also wish you could pick the colors like you can with the Feniex. I like a couple clears, but not every other one

I also wish it had different patterns on it. Im not sure about the split heads either. I wish you could do half red half blue with patterns that flash one side and then the other. It's all split or inner and outter patterns.


It's very bright though and a nice design.
