Boring light vs SW nemesis vs CyberGlow DRL

[CyberGlow]

Thank you Michael. Kind of getting used to the always on vibe after a day or so.
In the daytime it looks kind of interesting with the prism hex film I have on the beast bar. much more subtle when driving because the white is on behind it. Kind of what you want for minimizing pull over risk anyway. Will probably mount your switch right by the auxbeam. I’ve found also that since that since it’s related to the “keep aux power on” feature it can be turned off remotely by putting the car in low power mode through the app. You can’t turn it back on, but you can turn it off that way. After that, if you still want cabin overheat and sentry and that sort of thing , you just turn it back out of low power mode

hemiarch thank you for the update.

That’s exactly what we tend to see once people live with it for a bit. When you’re driving and the OEM white is on behind it, it stays more subtle which is usually the sweet spot for daily driving and keeping it low key.

Mounting the switch right by your Auxbeam makes a lot of sense. Super natural spot for it. I’m thinking about possibly making a holder for it. Let me know your thoughts

Also great tip on Low Power Mode. You’re 100% right. Because it’s tied into the vehicle’s aux power behavior, Low Power Mode is a reliable way to shut it down remotely if you ever need to. And like you said, you can’t turn it back on remotely, but being able to kill it in a pinch is huge. Then you can pop it back out of Low Power Mode and keep Sentry, cabin overheat, etc running.

Appreciate you sharing that with the forum. That kind of real world workflow is exactly what helps other owners know what to expect and how to control it.

His posts were immensely helpful and I’m seriously considering buying. He definitely earned his deal with this one.

Appreciate that a lot ABILISK.

Big respect to hemiarch for taking the time to document everything in a real, detailed way. That kind of feedback helps other owners make an informed decision and it helps us keep improving the product and the overall experience.

If you end up grabbing one and have any questions on setup, power behavior, or what to expect day to day, just tag me in the thread and I’ll help however I can.

Thanks, Michael (can I call you Mikey?) will do! I’d love to see the app integrate with the bar and show you a real time visual of what it’s doing. I’d also like the ability to cancel the white light while driving. If you did those two things you have a definite customer here.

Many of us have starlinks in the car so WiFi integration on blue ghozt might be nice though. Not sure how feasible that is.
I really do like @abilisks idea for a visualization. I find myself pulling up intimidatingly close to super shiny model y’s at stop-lights to see what the bar is doing. lol.
As for a nice quality 3d printed mount for one of those switches..small investment for you and would drastically impact the “well thought out package” factor which matters in this price range. Slap a piece of quality 3m tape on the back and even include an alcohol pad and your package will look way more complete. Even if some people don’t use it.
if you make a mount, please coder sending me one.
Oh also..the cyberglow holographic sticker is a nice touch and I recommend continuing to include it. First thing you see when you open the box and definitely enhances the user experience.

now. On to more important conversation. What’s it gonna take for you to put a matching strip in my beast bar?

 

[ethiaop]

Bump.
Anyone buy one of these recently? Is one still a choice over another? Does the boring light still require turning it on and off each time?

 

[hemiarch]

In my opinion the cyberglow is still the one to go for

Thanks. Do you have to set color each time turn it on or does it save last setting use?

Do you find yourself using it daily?

Any idea if they use new Tesla part to build or do they use the returned? Asking since I have a new 26 cb and would prefer new part.

 

[hemiarch]

I think they can do both ways with respect to new vs used. My experience was that Michael who runs the show there is pretty flexible and helpful.
You do have to turn it on, pair it, and select whatever program you want to run when the car goes to sleep but that can be delayed by leaving on the “keep outlets on”.
I do use it pretty much daily but my car is also bluey themed and I have children in it daily.
It’s my funnest upgrade right now I’d say.
Not perfect but it’s pretty damn good.

Do you have any photos / videos of your @CyberGlow DRL light bar installed? Been looking into the options out there and I like what I see / read about CyberGlow so far.

I have many. Is there something in particular you’d like to see it do?

 

[hemiarch]

This is so dumb

Articulate. Glad you were here to persuade us.

 

[hemiarch]

No, you go right ahead, whatever floats your boat.

But since you want articulation: grown ass men paying a pretty penny to hack their trucks to have some kiddy light show.

I’m a grown ass man and have three small children who have more fun in this truck than it sounds like you’ve ever had.

 

[hemiarch]

Yeah, its for the kids, I understand

It’s for me too. It’s really a lot of fun. If you feel like the money looks better in your account than the front of your car that’s your business too.
what do you like to do for fun? Anything that costs “a pretty penny”?

 

[hemiarch]

Lots of things. I have 4 kids, 5-16, most of my $ is spent on them. Im not here to tell you how to spend your money.

I just thought this was a dumb mod. If you like it, more power to you

Likewise. Kids are pricey. I do like mine. The lightbar and the kids. Zero regrets.
