Synchronizing between brands - Is it possible?

While the easiest would simply be to buy a single brand for all the lights you're mounting on a vehicle, does anyone here know of different brands that will work together? I saw this post about setting all the units to steady burn and using an outside flasher, which is an option if it comes down to it.

Thanks.

Some brands don't even sync with themselves. For example, feniex has several different "versions" of the same lightheads. Each version has different firmware, and the different version of the firmware may or may not sync depending on the compatibility. To further aggravate this, some lightheads from the same manufacturer may not sync, even though they have the same firmware. For example the fusion lightstick will not sync with the fusion single heads....

External flasher is truly the only way to go. If you want to do it right, control different groups of lighting or sync a lot of lights, you'll really either need a whelen StartLogic flasher, or invest in cencom saphire, cantrol, or core system.
