The retail market is so competitive that you are not going to find any major retailer lower than the other. $123 is about it.
This thread is now going to go down the drain so hang on.Even the burger-flippers at McDonald's probably have some McWackers.

I still like my lighthouse beacon. You would have to make a custom bracket and I still have not found a blue lens on Galls.

you know, if we all pitched in, we can create Whacker.com and give to everyone that asks about lights. Then on the front page we can write...."Please wait, Page loading..."

If you had a WAV file of a Q siren playing while the page "loads", I'll bet they would wait a long time too.

I have the talon, I do not like it. No one sees it during the day, at night it is reallllllly bright, but if you get many day calls I would go with something else.

Look for the Sho-Me Hyper-Brite LED's, as an alternative.

I never understood why LED dash lights had so many patterns to cycle through. Mine has about 15 or so. I use one its kinda a random thing, flashes back and forth and then at same time and repeats... there is also the one where the blue led stays lit and the white led flashes, which would be usefull once on scene so you dont blind people.

How bout you, do you find yourself cycling the patterns or sticking with one?Adam, EMT-B

The one that doesn't flash is for Kaliforneea. They require a steady burning red light so there are patterns that will accomodate that. You are correct, of all 10,000 possible patterns, 9,997 are usless.
Even the burger-flippers at McDonald's probably have some McWackers.

Emphasis on A steady burning red light. Of all the blinking siezure lights, there has to be one steady burning red light.
