I want to know your thoughts and opinions.
I personally think if they can expand that light head to make it a light stick it would be incredible.

FreshDave04 said:For all the naysayers that have had the argument of "Feniex has nothing different from any other manufacturer," here's your answer. Feniex now has a product line that is different from all the others in the industry. It sets them apart. Obviously, this new series will need exhaustive testing (both in the factory and in real world applications). Those of us dealers/distributors who have been with Feniex since its infancy and through all the good and bad, I think, will finally have something to hang our hat on and that sets the brand distinctly apart from the others.
As a Feniex Master Distributor, I'm looking forward to offering the Apollo series to our customers. :thumbsup:

C2Installs said:Not a naysayer...that is very similar to SOS's Fusion optics. Just saying. SOS now uses a new version called Fusion Boost. I thought the older Fusion did a good job at giving wide angle viewing, but it could be better with regards to consistently filling in the light module at all angles.
And while Feniex has some strong products and very fair pricing, I'm still seeing a limited product line that with a couple of exceptions, is very basic and mimics what everyone else has been doing. Some things they are doing better, and they are very bright. But FedSig beat them to the multi-color market for interior bars and sticks. SOS beat them for grille/deck/dash/surface/recess multi-color products. So, not sure how set apart they really are, nor if their product line is truly a complete one. I love the Cannon, and am impressed with their Python and Cobra products. I was only mildly happy with my Pegasus experience, but much of that was customer service related and being unhappy about fit and bracketry.
I do like where they are headed.
Edited to add...
You have to understand some of the initial skepticism regarding Feniex. They announced their company early and it took a long time before they actually produced anything. Their intro pricing was so low, it screamed CHINESE. Details were slim, contacting them was difficult, their initial email server didn't work (I was in contact with their marketing rep and she never could get an email to me), and the idea of an upstart actually being Made in the USA was deemed to be a generous stretching of the term. And, of course, there's the whole Julean/Axixtech/Lightning X experience that preceded them. You know, the latest/greatest, just as good as, cheap but awesome fanboy club. That product line sucked in the beginning and many (me included) got burnt.
So, I'm glad they are managing to become a reputable manufacturer of well designed, USA-made products. It can only improve the industry.

bluestinger90 said:Why not just make lightbars with only super narrow take down optics? Insane intensity from 5 miles away!
JPolston said:I'm not going to jump the gun, but this kind of innovation COULD start something new in lighting. Problem is, it has to work first, and then last long.
unlisted said:Innovation? Where? Did you see my post from earlier and others after I pointed something out? This "idea" is nothing new, and looks quite familiar.. This "idea" has been around since the early 1800's. Go look at a lighthouse.
Now, I will say its nice to see this idea being used/continued (re the idea in general and SOS's previous use of it) .. I always thought it was a excellent idea, however we cannot even credit SOS with it- got to go back to the old school days and credit Georges-Louis Leclerc and Augustin-Jean Fresnel.

Jamey@NNE said:Doubt it will effect whelen prices since rontan ones are cheaper already.
FEVER said:Yeah but you are talking about Rontan.
Prices aside... will be interesting to see how they look when they are released.
Jamey@NNE said:You would be supprised with them...
Anyways, I'm looking forward to what they come out with. Hopefully a taller bar with these modules too!
