Why no Green in Dual color?

[DiverCop]

It may be a simple question, but I'm having a hard time understanding why Feniex and many other manufactures don't offer Green in a dual color light-head?

For example, Green/Amber or Green/White? Our DOT vehicles here in Ohio run that combo, and its attention getting as heck on the roads... but on closer inspection of one recently, they have had to put individual light heads for the green, and use dual Amber/White light-heads elsewhere on their vehicles.

May not be a demand for it, or a technical limitation perhaps, but I just can't find this combo for sale yet anyplace...any thoughts or leads would be appreciated!

The market is probably very limited, and the groups that do require such colors, probably special order it in large quantities.

But then again, 2 lights with 2 separate foot prints seems better than just 1.

only thing I have seen is green/white cannons and t6's from what I am told they just don't sell. If it don't sell you can't expect it to be built.

I kind of figured the market would be limited for it, and depending on the vehicle, yeah, 2 lights may be better than one if you have the space for it...I just figured if they could make dual light-heads in any color combination, why not offer it?

Oh well...

 

[PanHandleStan]

They do, for dealers wanting to buy a couple hundred at a time. Thats why I've only seen one company have the Feniex Cannons in green/white

I did a search to ask the same question, sort of surprised that it came up on thread just yesterday.

Not for DOT, but I'd like an interior passenger fusion in green/white to combine Green CT EMS courtesy light with a white scene light.

Call Feniex and ask to talk to Tom D, or email tom.d@feniex.com

He's a great guy and might have access to some heads.

- Thanks for the info! I'll have to ask him!

Why would they hold this back from dealers? I trust my dealer and know that if it was available he'd get it for me. IF they are holding things back from their dealers to sell direct... thats shady AF

Tom would not be able to do anything, he's a great guy but can only do so much. He might have some but they would be reserved for warranty work not individual sales. Us dealers do have to order quantities, I think 100 or more, from Feniex for dual colors with green. As stated before they don't sell well enough for most to justify the cost of buying that many so one or two people can buy what they need and then be stuck trying to sell the rest. I'm not sure where they were using dual color amber/white heads around here I've only I've only seen the DOT running individual light heads not dual color ones, at least on the plow trucks. I did individual heads for a city truck which wanted their truck setup with lights like DOT trucks have. He only had to buy one extra light head and it was still cheaper than if he would have gone Whelen and he's a lot happier with it.

It's exactly what others have said. The minimum for production is too high. They can be ordered but no dealer wants to get stuck with hundreds of light heads they can't sell.

Code3 has Amber/Green multicolors and splits.

They also have the M180 in green with white takedown lights.

They don't offer it for the same reason GM doesn't offer a rainbow colored Suburban. The only person who would buy one is JazzDad. The low demand doesn't justify the increased expense to make and inventory them. If you called and asked to buy 600 of them, they would probably do a production run....but not for 2.

Low Demand = Low sales = slow moving inventory = high depreciation and inventory tax, which is expensive.
Low build quantities = higher raw material costs = higher production cost for a product that may not sell, which is expensive.

If you are in CT.... I see a big potential to be an upfitter/ supplier for these colors

 

[Kendreth]

been looking for Green/Red, Green/Clear, Green/Amber dual heads for ever, red/green is our allowed emergency color combo. closest ive found is posted on amazon - do i need to say more? if anyone were to order quantity Green/Red or Green/Amber id be good for a few units!

 

[nickDPS]

Interesting when I contacted my sales Rep trying to get some dual colors with green he said they had problems with the green leds that did not allow them to do dual color.

 

[Kendreth]

weird... i always thought the green/red diodes were the original "dual color" they use them for small electronics all the time (think the little light on your cell phone) figured the tech would just scale up.... would love to know the science behind the issue.
