Strobesnmore said:We will have green available on the second round which will be end of February. I also can switch over the our brake light flasher but they you will lose the synch but you would be able to put the light in steady burn mode and back to the flashing mode easily. What do you think?

Kd8bao said:I currently have a set of Rontan Quasar DOT lights. They are desinged as a surface mount light, not as a hide-a-way. They are bright they have great optics IMO. The only thing I can see different is yours will stick out past the bezel about a 1/4" or so. If they are not HAW lights why does everyone keep calling them that? Call them what they are, 1" Surface Mount LED. Also you shouldnt have them listed under your LED HAW section on your website then if thats not what they are designed for. It looks like a great light but it is not the first and one of a kind mini LED light head. Just my $.02

unlisted said:Can they be run for extended periods of steady burn? (ie: 30-60 mins) without issue?
Also any idea on lumen rating and beam spread? I know they haev good off axis, thinking of using them as ditch/alley/around vehicle lighting.

Did I miss the answer to this? and could these be set to steady burn and used with an external flasher?
thank you
Strobesnmore said:Goodsam, yes they have steady burn. The lights have shipped and in customers hands. The feedback has been all positive so far. Please let me know what you think if you've received yours.
Well you have made up my mind about purchasing from you. your lack of customer service and ability to respond to emails and answer some simple questions about YOUR PRODUCT! I received more Information out of your employees than you but still sub par to the industry. How do you plan on staying in business with your lack of service (at least with me)?I am not at the shop for lumen or spread but you can run them on steady burn with an external flasher. We are in the process of testing them for use an steady on flood type lights. Hope that answers most of your questions.

Goodsam said:So no answer well I'm defiantly not going to purchase from you now I have asked twice now and you fail to produce.
Well according to a SNM employe they believe the light head is a 35 degree light head or optic he was not a 100% sure your tech rep recommends using light heads with supplied flasher and as far as steady burn they should be fine for extended times. And the light heads can only be used as a pair.
This info took 24 hrs for the SNM employee to get but you failed to get In A week
Tell me again where customers sit in you priority does not seem very high
And to top it off I emailed you with no response still
Best of luck on getting customers to come back to you with this kinda service I went somewhere else and received exceptional customer service. -1 customer for you.

By all means, though, feel free to be a dick, since I'm not a mod or anything.

ERM said:You should change your Signature to read "For every good reason there is to be a dink, there is a better reason to be nice". What's your deal man? I'm sorry, but you're the only one coming off as a jerk here. Where is this hostility coming from? Sorry he didn't have the exact specs for you, but honestly, who does? You call SoundOff or Whelen or Fed Sig, and I bet you money they will not have that information right off the bat. Someone will have to dig up that info.
Why do you want to know the spread so badly? It's all based on where you place it anyway. If it's mounted directly on the side of the vehicle, then you'll have a given viewing angle from a certain position. Mount it on any curved surface, and the viewing angle changes from that same position. You honestly need to tone it down a little since you are not an engineer and these types of "critical" specs to you are not that critical in the end.
Louis answered your questions to the best of his ability with regards to his present location. Kudos to him for not giving you a BS answer to satisfy your curiosity. He told you when he gets back that he will look this up for you. Who's to say that this information is just laying around the office for his employees to sift through to answer your questions. They may be on his computer or in a locked file cabinet. I don't want my employees going through my company files.
Learn to have a little patience and respect. YOU want something from HIM. Be nice about it.
I will answer your questions with what has been the industry standard for all the manufactures with regards to hide-aways.
Steady burn is usually for connecting to an external flasher. This way, you have maximum intensity when being pulsed by an external flasher. They are not typically designed to run consistently in steady burn as they tend to heat up. SoundOff incorporated a dimming feature in their HAWs to prevent their lightheads from burning out.
What's the Lumen rating on the Vertex? Nobody knows. Lumens rate the output on focused lights, not lights designed to spread right as it leaves the housing. That's like asking what the pellet spread is when firing a sawed off shotgun. That information is useless, so that's why they don't give it.
These style lights can not be used without the flasher. In addition to being a flasher, it also contains all the current regulators inside in order to allow the lighthead to be as compact as possible. Sure you could cut it off and connect it directly to a power source, but then you will only have a single flash and that's it. All the necessary circuitry is built into the flasher. This is the industry standard for every HAW on the market.
Now, with all that said, if the information you were seeking was that "critical" to you, you would have known the answers to the questions you asked.
Just take a deep breath and ask yourself how necessary it is to have this info. You're trying to tarnish Louis' reputation because you asked questions that he couldn't answer for you immediately and obviously doesn't make a difference. Seriously, you want ditch lights, then buy ditch lights. Buy lights made specifically for that purpose. Don't try to convert something that was intended to flash. Buy the light designed to be on steady burn for days at a time. That's what a logical person would do. Don't trash somebody for not having answers to your hypothetical applications.
If I were you, I'd apologize for your remarks.

Goodsam said:SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Could you actually answer the below questions?
1. I got they have steady burn. But how long can they stay on in steady burn?
2. any idea on lumen rating and beam spread?
3. I know they haev good off axis, thinking of using them as ditch/alley/around vehicle lighting.
4. Can they be used with an external flasher?
5. And additionally since I have had so long to think about it is there a way to us the light independently from each other?
6. dose the supplied flasher have to be used?
thanks
