Which would be brighter, two LINZ6s or one 400 series?

[AggiePhil]

I'm working on an unusual project and need to decide between mounting a red LINZ6 on top of a blue LINZ6 or just using one 400 series red/blue lighthead. I realize that I will need a ULF44 flasher with the 400 series. I'm probably going to use one either way though, so I can dim the lights if need be (unless there's another way to dim LINZ6s). Anyway, what are y'all's thoughts on those two options (and the dimming issue)?

Where are you mounting them?

I would use the LINZ6s. In order to be able to dim them, you are going to need to use steady burn lightheads and an external flasher. Purchase a DP2RB, and a ULF44 and just use the lightheads out of the DP2 with the ULF44.

The 400 series is gonna be brighter and give a better foot print because it uses 2 500 series lin6 heads vs w small lighted with the linz6 its bigger in size but they work well

I'm mounting them on top of each other, to the outside of a small electronics project box. Don't think I'd see any benefit to buying the DP2RB, as I need the lightheads to sit horizontally and on top of each other. On the rear of the project box will be the various switches. This will all be part of a bigger system on a Segway i2 (there will also be R/B LINZ6s on the sides, two LINZ6s on the rear, a center red LIN3 or LINZ6 tail light on the rear, and a siren). All the wiring will tie into this project box though, and on the front of it will either need to be two LINZ6s or one 400 series.
