    This is the setup I've got in mine. Tried the ETD dash light and it's nowhere near as bright as the Feniex. The ETD also showed up damaged and their customer service leaves a lot to be desired, and it's been 5 months and still not a decent resolution (and they're only 3 hours away from me).

    I personally like Whelen products but they can get pricey. Galls makes some POV emergency lights that are good quality and with some descent prices.

    That strobe pack in the first link looks super crappy. Get a whelen strobe pack or galls brand which is made by whelen btw. You can get the brain cheap on ebay used and just get the new bulbs/wires seperate. Whelen, galls, code3, federal signal are all great brands.

    You be the judge. Maybe not bright as the Devils lair, but I definitely get the attention required. These are just vids of the T-4's. Google Feniex there's plenty more. If I had a camcorder, I'd shoot some of my personal setup.

    I too considered Whelen, et al, but with the latest LED technology, and built in controllers (no specific need for a control box), plus the very reasonable costs, it was an easy choice for me.

    PM me for a quote if you haven't gotten one yet. They are really bright and small. All LED's are 4Watts per LED.

    I am still building the site but check out our page for some info and prices.

    If your looking for more lights check out the new store

    Wired Installation LLC

    Warning lights are only as good as they can be seen in the day.

    Got some combo deals set up online and I can build a deal for anything you want.

    Also have some nice used items also
