what's the difference between the 600 and 650 models? Not the 650E, just the 600 and 650.

I'm baffled.

It appears the 600 footprint is more oval while the 650 is teardrop.

I'm betting they are designed as a drop in replacement for a particular brand of lights, hence the difference

The 600 is roughly twice as bright as the 650. See page two.

A friend has the 600s all over his Meridian. It is sexy.

I have 650e, my mechanic said they are obnoxiously bright, personally I'm ok with that

Necro alert......


Does the Orion 650 have a rear facing, solid burning white light? The Whelen docs are pretty much worthless and on Youtube, the 600 videos have rear facing white (Not strobe, solid) and the 650 I saw only flash to the rear.

Looking at buying a set of one or the other prefer to get solid to the rear along with strobe.

I *think* they're rear flash only. I have an Orion 500 position/strobe on the tail and 650e's on the wings.

I'll stop by the airport omw home and tell you for sure.

No white to the rear. Strobe does 180 degree flash but that's it.

Don't bother, I'm sure.

The Es are a totally different unit and I don't have encApsulated tips so they winter work.

Thinking of going to the 600s. The 650s are a direct replacement for the A650 halogens, but rear white is worth the additional $200 I think

Good. Because I have 650s, not Es. I lied.
