The Junior Review by Pimpala

Pimpala unoffically become the official product review guy on elightbars.org. He did a review on the Junior lighthead and here it is:

A while back I received in some "Junior" lightheads from Herschel over at Whacker Technologies. I played with them on several occasions and I'm pretty impressed with their performance.

These lightheads are comparable in size to a Whelen TIR3, LXP LX3, 911EP Star, Bull, Nova, (insert your own of the 9,000 other 3-LED surface mount modules out there, here.) They are SAE certified. The color of the diodes is a nice and crisp red, as evident in the pictures. The wiring is fairly simple to follow. A traditional four wire setup for the lightheads includes power, ground, pattern, and sync. To sync these lightheads you must connect each lighthead's yellow wires together. To change patterns, apply the blue wire to the black wire for 1 second. The wiring was rather confusing at first but, I after reading both parts of the instructions it was understandable.

I was very impressed by the off-axis performance of these lights. I did receive the optional "L" brackets for mounting of the lighthead. These seem sturdy and simple to use (will update on that once I get them installed)

I hooked these up to a DC power supply in my office for bench testing. I left them running for 7 1/2 hours one day while synchronized. When I came back they were still going with no notable discoloration, dimness, heat buildup, or loss of sync. I was a little concerned of the unique flange and plastic tab system but, it shouldn't be a problem... (see pictures)

Final disposition: Pimp approves! Cool
