I'm thinking of adding a few LEDs to my truck. I have a MX7000 bar, but nothing lower in the back... I was thinking of using some cheap china LEDs I have (it's my POV, so i rarely have a need for much lighting in the back).
But I saw the LIN3 advertised on sirennet and lsh... one of them lists it as pre-order only, the other is selling it...
Does anyone have any experience with them? I haven't even seen any videos, and nobody around me has any yet? How do they compare to the TIR3, or the 500 series linear led/talon? Somewhere in between, I assume?
Whelen LIN3???

LIN3's ROCK. The off angle light is MUCH brighter than the TIR series. I hear that these will replace the TIR-3. I am not sure how true that is, but it will not be a loss.

There's a brushed-aluminum brush guard mount as well, but we played around with those and didn't like them much. Stick with the black plastic.thebigphish wrote:...and the consensus is that the black plastic bezel has to go. Any dealers out there know if that is the only mounting option for this unit?
I have a set of LIN3s and a Set of TIR3s and overall I cannot see a difference in brightness between them. The LIN3 gives MAYBE another 5-10 degree viewing angle.
I have the TIR3 in my car and I am putting a set of LIN3s on my wife's new car... once I do I'll take some comparisons for you guys.

If you are looking for DIRECT head on warning, the TIR3 is the way to go.
If you are looking for a FORWARD light, the LIN3 is the way to go.
Don't plan on thinking that either are designed for "one light does all" intersection warning, unless you have it out at a 45 degree angle.
For $50, you can't go wrong.
