I have a Whelen Edge 9000 Diagnostix 99 that has 4 corner strobes, 4 linear inboard strobes, 4 400 series halogen over halogen modules, alley lights, and cruise lights. The tops of the 400 series are take down's and rear work lights, while the bottoms flash. There is no matrix board only 2 power supplies and a halogen flasher board, everything is hardwired to the control cable. I am thinking of doing 1 of 5 things with them and would like some opinions.
1.) Replace all bottom halogen lights with push in led inserts.
~$100.
This may give a better light output but the modules are just led's no special lens's to help with light dissipation
2.) Replace all 4 modules with 4 400 series halogen over strobe.
~ $100.
I feel like this may be too many strobes, even though the bar has 2 EB6 power supplies.
3.) Replace all 4 modules with 4 400 series halogen over strobe, and replace all halogen lights with push in led inserts eliminating take down's and rear work lights.
~$200
I don't know if the strobes would over power the led's.
4.) Replace all 4 modules with 4 400 series 6 over 6 led modules.
~ $630
This is very expensive along with the fact that they can't or shouldn't be used a steady burn light.
5.) Leave them as is except add colored half filters over one section.
~ $60
This is most simple, cost effective, and cheapest option.
Please give me your honest opinion. What would you do? What do you think would look and work best?
Thank you in advanced!
P.S.
If someone could explain the difference between the light bar models that'd be great! The regular Edge 9000, the Edge 9000 Diagnostix 99, and The Edge 9M.
