Vertex or hide a blast

[Mikemike0409]

Not sure which ones are better Its going in a 2005 ford just in the headlights

I can only speak about Vertex's, but they are bad a$$!!!! Very bright, a lot of patterns, syncable and well worth the money!

[Jim@esitrucks]

Yes the Vertex are awesome

[Strobesnmore]

I would go with the Vertex or our Single Strobes N More brand. Both are extremely bright and solid 2 year warranty.

I would go with www.municipalvehiclesolutions.com they have great prices

Vertex by far, I work at an install shop and use them almost everyday. They aren't called hide-a-trash for no reason.

I would strongly suggest staying clear of any web site that sell all chinese lights. Many have come before you and learned a hard lesson. Most of those lights off little to no warranty and most are out of business is a short period of time. Stick with a name brand product or company and you will be much happier in the long run.

I just have external mounts..

I was actually talked out of internal Strobes. I'm super happy with my set up.

Whelen Amber Ions on the grill and 2 Amber Linz6 on the licence plate bracket at the rear ( they are CRAZY bright!)

Saved myself some good $$$ in labour too.

Any one using code 3 hide away LED's? People seem to say those are the brightest..

[Strobesnmore]

We see very little for Code 3 around here. The Whelens are great lights.

[BrandonSRH]

Which are brighter the Whelens or your brand?.. Just browsing your site a few minutes ago

I will say that the Code 3 6-Pack LED Hide-A-Blast are probably among the brightest LED hide aways I have seen. The Vertex were great when they came out, but now there are newer and brighter lights out there that are giving Whelen a run for their money. A close second on my list would be SOS Undercover LAWs, then Feniex Fairys.

The one thing I do not like about the Code 3 LAWs is that you cannot screw them into the lights for added protection. Nothing a little silicone can't fix though

Not sure why so many are against Code 3 lights they have some if the brightest lights out there. I mentioned the hideaways because I have seen a bunch of reviews saying those of one of the brightest strobes out. Like you mentioned I did see some complaints about how they are installed.

I dont think people are having that big of an issue with them, just that they've used the Whelen Vertexs or SNM version more. The major difference that I can see are below. Take your pick:

SNM/Whelen: "Vertex" Vs Code 3 6 pack

-8 LED heads Vs. 6 LED heads on both Code 3 and Whelen.
-2 year warranty vs. 5 year warranty
-12' cord vs 15' cord
-100 percent waterproof vs I could not find any info for this on Code 3. (Thats what did it for me.)
-Screw in mounting vs pop in mounting (this is also huge. Regardless if there is use of silicone)
-21 flash patterns vs 20 flash patterns
-35 degree "option" vs no option available to those who want a fuller/brighter directionality of the light for that type of application.
-Price: $54.99 vs $59.99
There is more Im sure but I dont have all day to sit here and figure em out. If people would like to add more by all means let me know and I'll change/update.
