Has anyone else had problems w/ Whelen products seals failing and allowing moisture inside? I do all of our installs and recently switched our entire fleet over to Whelen products. Now we have ALOT of light son our squads. My K-9 vehicle alone has over 32 Whelen lightheads and just have not been happy with their products and customer support.
I have 2 Linz6's on each running board of my Expedition (for a total of 4) and I have had to replace each one 3 times a year for the last 4 years. Every replacement I get lasts for a few months and then suddenly there is moisture inside and after that, it's just a few days before they fail.
All of my other light heads seem to be ok (I did have my inner edge start smoking one day, but they replaced that).
Whelen does continue to replace them under warranty, but I am sick to death of constantly replacing them. Our agency uses so many lights, we have other agencies who come and look at our squads for ideas. You think they would treat me better, but all they do is just send a replacement. I even asked to down grade to a cheaper light head and they won't do it.
I am just curious if anyone else is having these issues? They are flush mounted on a Ford Expedition, 2 on each running board.
