Mine isn't much compared to both yours. I've got a federal signal highlighter. It's nothing special, but it gives me plenty of warning power.
I'll see if I can get a pic of mine on the truck tomorrow.

You got some awesome lights on your trucks.
I'm not a huge fan of strobes during the day, since I don't think they can be seen as well when there in bright light, but at night or low light situations, they really pack a punch.
I personally like LED lights, best warning power for both night and day applications.

those lights should be fine.. factory tint is around 40% so they should show right through

I couldn't find a store around here, I'm sure there is some small store that does, but I couldn't find it. So I ended up ordering it online at www.lshlights.com. But there are a few more online stores like Galls.com or Strobesnmore.com.
My light is hard wired btw. It's a very bright light in day or night situations. But what ever light you get, I would suggest going with a "name brand" light (ie, whelen, federal signal, able 2, sho-me, etc).

Actually they are, they are Phantom 2's so they have more LED's. Ive seen them in person they are quite bright.

the mini phantom is a great light for the price and is extremely bright from the front where it lacks is side visibility which is better on the talon
Tyler's Lawn Maintenance
09-24-2009, 09:45 PM
i completely disagree. i have see the talons side by side with the mini phantom version 1 and 2 and the talon blows the mini phantom out of the water. the mini phantom isnt nearly as bright, because it only uses 5mm led diodes without a reflector, where as the talon uses 6 larger leds and a reflector, thus giving the greater effect.

i agree with tyler on this one. Just like i just recently said in another thread as a professional warning light install tech the talon is alot better. Whelen has gen 3 superflux led diodes in the talon that when paired with whelens incredible lense technology produces a light so bright it easily punches through limousine tint with enough power to still make an effect. When you look at an inexpensive light such as the phantom 2 it has the appearance of being an incredible light. alothough it does have a considerable amount of leds they are smaller diameter and there is no lense. The lights ability to make a huge effect is based entirely around a good lense. the reason the phantom has no good warning power from the sides is because all the power is directed forward and no where else. the lense directs the light frontward left right up down and just about everywhere in between. take it from someone who has worked with both.

I wouldnt call my setup a "silly flashlight" but ok i guess... im going to be adding some 500 series super led grill lights soon and probably some linz6 on my toolbox.. then we will have to meet up and see who has more lights

You know what I mean, I know the liberty is blinding bright.... I wouldn't even waste the money on lin6 the 3's are bright enough. That's what I have on my Pro Rack.
