Whelen Battle: Dual Talon vs LED Dash King 2000

[aggmeister2010]

I'm trying to pick a dash light to hard-wire.  I have a Dual Talon and a LED Dash King 2000 to choose from.  Originally I was thinking about using the Talon and keeping the Dash King for a backup...but I figured before I go making uneducated decisions on my own, I should get y'all's opinion on which of the two is "better."  

If you have any input on the two, I'd love to hear it!

Yeah. Pretty much.

The dual dashking is probably 5mm LEDs. I don't think I've ever seen one that was Gen3. The Linear warning of the dual talon with it's Gen 3 LEDs is going to outshine the dashking every day. Put the two side by side on your dash, turn em on, and walk 100' away, pick the one that's brighter. (Try to get them on similar patterns.)

Just did a side by side in my driveway.  Holy hell, what a difference.  Talon all the way.  Might keep the Dash King stowed somewhere in case of an emergency or something, but yeah...Talon gets hardwire duty.

I thought about this...but I already have an UltraLite bar up there, and another bar by the rear view mirror might be a bit crowded.
