How are y'all doing and thank you for watching. This is George here at Wicked Warnings here in our more
spacious new space. We got a brand new 2021 F-150 in here. Let me zoom in show you a little bit
closer. This is a unique build for a volunteer fireman and the customer and me kind of went
over his needs, what he was looking for so we did exactly kind of what he liked out of a variety of
different videos. So what we were looking for was a quicker more aggressive red and white display
for when he's in route responding to the call. So what we have going on on the front of this right
now is a two color Feniex Fusion windshield light. We went with that light for its mounting system.
I'm a big fan of how it mounts to the windshield. It's very nice, very similar to our light. We did
need a red and white and unfortunately at this time, Wicked Warnings doesn't offer the red-white.
We'll be bringing it in soon but at this time, we went with Feniex because it was
an in-stock red and white and we used the 3m dual lock Velcro on the windshield. So you can
pop that light off and clean it and pop it right back on and never deal with a single
suction cup that doesn't work. That was one of the mandates on this build, absolutely no
suction cups. So we have the dual lock Velcro for that dual color Feniex light in the windshield.
In the front grille there, we went with a 4-inch mpower. That's a red-white mpower. I like
that mounting and I'll have a lot more details on all of this at the end of the video. I like the
grille mounting because it's damage free. We did not have to drill any holes, any visible marking,
nothing. So those lights could be pulled off that grille and the truck could be resoled without
holes in the grille. So that's why I use those 4-inch mpowers exactly where we do. We did
a different job with two of them on another video. This one we turned it up a little, added two more,
did the four. Did a nice X-pattern that everybody loves and it's in the two color display right now.
We also use the 3-inch mpower on the badges, which is a little out of camera right now and our
Thin-X, our Wicked Warnings Thin-X in red-white in the back windows. Now this is the
responding mode. This is both colors. Now this particular client where they're from, Wisconsin,
requires that when you're on scene, you kill the white. It's a very common thing for a lot
of emergency vehicles. When they get on scene, they really want to turn off any white flashing light.
That was the case here. Was also one of the hard fast specs we needed to comply with. So we have a
second switch that kills all the white. So that way, he can kill all the white when he arrives on scene
and he can use the red and the white to respond. Now I could have probably done a park kill if he
wanted to integrate a park kill for this, we could do it that way too. It's the owner's choice between
a park kill or a secondary switch. The reason that I did a secondary switch, really it came down to
two main factors. The controller that we're using made by Carson has two primary light switches
LT1 and LT2 and I wanted to give this truck a little bit of a dual use. Now the only light I
wasn't able to kill the red in during the white switch mode was the windshield and I'm working
on a work around for that but the way Feniex did their circuitry, I just wasn't able to kill the red
off in the windshield but every other light, the SoundOff lights and the Wicked Warnings lights,
they're able to do white display on one switch and red display on another, and when you combine
both switches on, you have red and white. So as you see right now I'm running LT2. That's a secondary
switch and you can tell by the reflection right there on the wall here that the badge has gone to
straight white. So when you want to run only white, all except for that Feniex that didn't want to
play nice but that's okay, it's just a little bit in the windshield. For the majority of the
truck, the rear windows, the badges, the grille, they can all be ran as straight white. If he desires,
he can run the red and the white if he likes as well and I hope you notice that the pattern does
change a little bit. It's a little bit faster with the red-white going. With both colors, you can see
how it jumps and just gives you a little bit more pop and then as I showed you at the beginning, all
red as well. Seems like just a little bit slower pattern. I was able to set the windshield light to
a little bit slower more relaxed pattern and as you can see, the grilles, they're essentially the
same pattern. The way SoundOff works is it's the same pattern that the red and white is on
but it's only the red color so it appears to be just a little slower without all that white
jumping around. So I like this. I like to give them multiple options. This was a pretty
unique build. Also got a siren and a handheld controller that we'll be adding to our website
very soon. Carson makes a nice little handheld unit that this is the first truck I put one
in and I dig it. So I'm gonna go ahead and give you a little display of the siren tones now.
Did I mention this truck has power boost? I don't think I did. So yeah, it's electric. It's a little
sneaky when it's shooting around the shop if the motor is not running because it's quiet as a mouse
and it has a factory reverse alarm so you don't run over anybody when you're trying to back up
but it's pretty neat, an electric F-150. If you haven't checked them out, see what they're about.
Very interesting. Alrighty, I'm going to apologize for the shaky camera. I'm holding it with one hand
and trying to operate with another. As you can see, we ran this nice into the cubby, so he can stash
it right down here in the cubby and this is that Carson Hand Held Controller I was talking about.
This is a SC-1022 siren, very nice siren, hundred watts. Comes with all the different functions
on it. You have your LT1 and your LT2 and here I'll show you that it is- ah-
it is slippery when you're trying to hold it. That's what it is. It's backlit. That's
what I was going to say. It's pretty neat nice deep blue and it lights up with a red
when you push the button, as you can see. This would be your white switch.
See out the door there, that's flashing white. Then we go ahead turn off the white, turn on the red.
You can see now we're in red and then if we want, we run red and white together. Okay, these two, LT1
and LT2 are your warnings and then of course, we have all the goodies in here as well for the siren
and the air horn. We've got the air horn itself, the classic air horn tone.
I know you can hear that. We've also got- let me zoom in a little bit show you this here.
Alrighty, we've got the air horn tone. We've got manual which is very cool. You just push- I set
this up. You can do a lot of dip switching and change it around but I set it up so you're just
pushing on the manual button, raises the- and when you let off it stops like this.
I like that because everybody's had this done to them, when you get up behind somebody and you give
them a little- that's very common and I like that. So you push the manual button and you can give
that little warning to everybody. Okay new tone on this one and also available on our volunteer
discreet siren. If you don't want the panel like this and you want to use your factory switches,
you can get this mechanical tone. Listen to this sucker. This is to meant to mimic
a- man I'm sorry, I just got sidetracked because the truck just started by itself, which if you're
not expecting is a little bit jarring. So it threw me right off my game there. I was
just sitting here idling away quiet as a mouse on battery and then it started up the auxiliary motor.
Anyways, you'll see when you get one. So mechanical, here's what it does it's meant to mimic a Q siren.
Long-short, long fall different kind of tone.
So that's the Q siren mechanical there and then we have yelp. We have our wail
and we have our popular phaser.
I believe there's a new tone here called power call that Carson's come out with and
when you run wail and hit manual, listen to this new tone. That's your wail right there,
now I hit the manual, hit manual to go in and out of it.
Alright, that's enough playing around. So you can really put on a cool show with these. I like them.
They're definitely neat. So let me show you the back of the truck. Alrighty, so around the back
of the truck you can see our Thin-X. Now that's a red-white light. It's mounted with our bracket
right up against the back there and I've fully flashed both color in the red and it's a little
slower pattern. That's just an alternating red, so when he's on scene, he has that red color he
wants and it's not crazy spastic fast. We also have the red going in the badge there and you
can see it a little bit better like that. Again, I apologize for all the ambient light but I do
love me some skylights and I don't know if you saw the other video where I mentioned this or not but
that's what's going on. You can't turn off two gigantic skylights which I love. So and
the windows in the doors too. So I can't make it- I can't make it any darker in here. Sorry guys.
So you've got your all red mode right now. I can turn the- this down for you if you wanted. There,
you kind of see the color a little bit better now. This is your all red mode. Let me show you the
white. Alrighty, here's your white mode. Notice the flash pattern changed on the Thin-X. Now I have an
alternate white, the Thin-X instead of flashing together the whole light and alternating, I'm
split firing it. One, because white's pretty bright going backwards and two, just to get a little bit
more movement when you're in a construction mode I suppose or not really, responding mode. This
is where it's all white in the front and you can see the white on the badge there as well.
I'll turn the ISO down, you can see what I'm talking about as far as the pattern there.
My Thin-X do allow a lot of creativity. You can set one pattern for your red flash, one pattern for
your white flash, and a third pattern for your white and red flash on my Thin-X light. Real
versatile. The SoundOff mpowers, unfortunately not that versatile. You can only set one pattern
for the display but you can independently fire each color as we're doing. So that's the one thing
to consider when you're mix and matching some different products, not one manufacturer always
fits every area the best and as you combine different products for the maximum effect,
you don't always get exactly the same function out of every product. So like we saw in the windshield,
sometimes you have to do a little give and take on what you're expecting.
Alrighty and here we'll put this back to auto so you can see real time, real brightness.
What we've got going on here is a quad flash alternate color, color swap kind of on the Thin-X.
The red goes back and forth as well as the white and that's a fast quad flash
and on the badge, I believe that badge and grille, I believe is set on inter cycle, which is a SoundOff
pattern and it basically goes a little bit slower triple flash back and forth and then a real fast
single flash back and forth. I like that pattern. You saw it in the grille. It works really well
in an X and it also works extremely well, as you can see here. Well that jumped around.
Sorry about that. I was just trying to zoom in and give you a little bit of focus. So here,
if it'll do it. Anyways, you can see in the grille there how the pattern kind of skips around.
It goes faster and slower. I like that a lot. So that's how we set up that and that's what we set
up in the back. It's a simple two switch system white-red, no flood, no muss, no messing around.
You saw the controller. You saw the system. I hope you like it. You stay tuned at the end of this
video for all the extra info that I have. If I missed something, go ahead fire me an email. If
you're not a volunteer EMS, you probably shouldn't be running red. By the way, I don't know if you
heard it, the truck just started again. Pretty neat. So we can make this entire system in amber
and white. We could even do a flood mode if you like. We could do all kinds of stuff. This again,
built to spec with the customer. Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it's not possible.
Just like these LED taillights. We could flash that white reverse and flash this LED ring, we
could do all of that. So definitely more options available. If you'd like to do something oh along
the bottom of the doors or anything like that. So thanks again for watching. Make sure you
stay tuned right now for a lot of the in-depth info and check the description of this video
for all the different links to the products. We'll try to get you everything you need.
If you just don't find it, shoot an email to us info@wickedwarnings.com and somebody
here in the office will be happy to help you. We are after all your number one source for
construction and safety emergency strobe lighting equipment for cars, vans, trucks, bicycles, tricycles,
SUVs, and everything in between. I'll see you guys on the next video. Thanks for hanging with me.
