Is the external LED really needed ??

[conekilr]

I'm looking to install the ALP system with STIR+ integration and HIFI controller and wanted to know other's thoughts on wither or not to install the External LED light.

I figure since the HIFI controller provides voice alerts and also have a light, the External LED would be redundant. Are there any reasons that I may be over looking to intall the External LED ??

Cheers

You can customize it to only illuminate when there are alerts and I find it very useful having it in my direct view so you know where the source is immediately.

Yep, not necessary but very helpful. Good if your music is cranked up high, easier to differentiate between front/rear, helpful for reviewing in dashcam footage afterwards, you can see when you're being shot and for how long in pro mode instead of just hearing, etc.

Over the course of a week or so, I taped my lamp to different locations though out the interior before permanently mounting it. I was then able to compare day/night illumination along with on/off programing features.

Just for heads up alerts. My control pad is mounted low on my console for quick reach to kill jamming so the light on it cant be seen to well.

Tom/BRD,

After experimenting with the brightness selections for the Control Set LED, and the External LED, I have both LEDs set at "2". When I previously set the External LED to "1" the LED went off after the startup sequence.

My Question: When the External LED is set to "1", and the External LED goes off after the startup sequence, will the External LED illuminate Red/Yellow if the system detects laser "interference" from an external source? (I have a Control Box with HW2.0, and have selected Dark Mode "Dim" and Status LED "Constant")

Thanks

Lowest Setting on the External LED is OFF and it will illuminate at full brightness during an alert.
