Yeah - but no ones made one that can actually flex/bend. These are legit Mpowers that flex…*Im shocked no one else has done it since there were like PepBoys brand lights (white “DRL’s”) that were essentially the same thing as these but only silicone between each diode so it could flex…that was over 8years ago…Also - WHY not make it TRI color?! It was released in 2021 and only goes up to Dual?? **Its like with Whelen - WHY make t-ions that can only be solo or duo rather than TRIO like the Uni&SM ions (same question for their M2’s,4’s,6’s etc…and ESPECIALLY for their V2’s - SOS intersectors go up to trio, even 911 signal/SnM versions are Dual color… So many perplexing things in this industry…
For any “professional” upfitting/vehicles you won’t find Feniex products … While they are fine output-wise (and pre-V3/Quad models used to have decent FP selections) NONE of their products can operate on other brands systems (Whelen CantrolWC, Core, Carbide…SOS BluPrint…FS Matrix etc) by setting each light/color to steady burn and controlling FP’s via one of those systems. Thus, you can’t use any of their products in sync with the rest of the vehicle (which also limits the modes to 1-2 or 4 for quads) while all the other brands products can be set to steady - allowing them to have as many different “modes” (different FP’s) as the systems allow. Worst of all, is that the quad line-up had horrible and few FP’s, and the light output is barely SAE class1, and during daytime the ILB/REar Deck/Sticks look like dots (not very bright either) behind ANY tint. ***They ultimately came out with the “fusion S” line to combat this problem (touting its 60% brighter than fusions - thus about 75% brighter than quads & 180• fusions), BUT they only come in SOLO color. To add insult, they came out with the ONE which was supposed yo compete with Core, CantrolWC, BluPrint etc - but they didn’t allow for user-made/assigned flash patterns, sequences, phases, etc which EVERYONE ELSE has, thus making any non Feniex products connected limited to their internal flashers and only the 1-3 modes depending on solo, duo, trio
P.S. the “tech” isn’t all that special with the quads…any of the brands could create a light that’s “large” functionally limited in order to accommodate for the “software” and diode layout space for 4 colors. . . But WHY would customers want to sacrifice performance / functionality /adaptability / size etc for “4 colors” which will almost never be needed/used?
Great job Chris!
do you have red and white lamp samples?
Pretty cool 😎
Interesting product
Code 3/Ecco is really trying to keep up with the times but theyre still a decade behind in tech.
I’m really surprised the company is still in business. With so much better competition I don’t know how Code 3 has survived.
@@dcentral Ecco is the only reason that Code3 is still afloat. Had they not bought out C3, it would have flopped.
@@dcentral arent they still pretty prevalent in europe though
@@Carterthielftw_ I don’t know much about European markets. I thought Federal Signal Vama holds a big market there?
@@dcentral their biggest thing is being cheaper than the other 3 big ones. and the legacy of their older products keep the brand going.
Umm Sound off has had silicone heads for 6 years...

Prettty cool concept, but as far as im concerned, feniex left them behind with tech once they came out with the quad.

👍
Ohh look code 3 rebranded another sound off product... Mega flop..
Actually brighter than Mpowers…and they actually BEND unlike SOS. only thing they forgot was to make a TRI color option like the mpower
