question for firefighters

im thinking of getting the Whelen LED Slimlighter SLPLL for my truck but im kind of reserved because ive never seen one in person. can anyone vouch for how bright they are or if its a waste of money. i would like to get the next step up but its to much cash.
thanx

I have seen them. I don't have one. Anything LED is A-Okay if you ask me.

Thumbs up LED's

Thats a nice light, LED's, if you can afford them, are def. the way to go! I have a 6 strobe package, undercover, on my truck (see gallery) and sometimes during very bright days they are "washed out" I do have a light similar to that mounted above my rearview mirror and no matter how bright a day it is, it NEVER gets washed out. And the added bonus of the lower electrical draw is nice. That is a good price, but I am assuming that will be for a red/red combo. If you were to add blue ir yellow, im sure the price will close to double, apparently it is more expensive to make "other than red LED's" So, in my opinion, that is a sweet light, Whelen is a time trusted name that will hold up well. LED's are they way to go and will be around for a long time. My only suggestion would be to "hardwire" that in your truck, or wherever it goes to get rid of the unsightly adapter that comes with it. Good luck on your purchase.
