subject: Led Strobe Light Bars For Energy Efficiency And Bright Output [print this page] LED strobe light bars are extremely handy when it comes to emergency lighting and are packed with some excellent features. They are highly reliable owing to their rugged construction. Most importantly these lights are very energy efficient and with different operational modes including a low power mode, the energy conservation has gone up by a few more notches. You can go for dual level strobe lights which consist of both linear LED strobe as well as strobe lights that can rotate and provide 360-degree visibility. Such strobe lights give you the best of all worlds, as you can get high intensity lighting and also lighting with enhanced coverage and brighter output. In spite of this variety, the strobe lights can still be operated on a simple 12V DC power supply.
The design of LED strobe light bars is extremely important as their efficiency depends on it to a large extent. For example, the dual level construction gives you more options and a better output and coverage. A low profile lowers the air drag due to lower height and thus enhances fuel efficiency. Sleek modular construction ensures that each of the components is independently accessible and therefore can be repaired or replaced. Some light bars are extremely slim which allows you to install them anywhere on the vehicle at any angle, in fact, managing to conceal them if required.
The chassis of the LED strobe light bar is usually made of a single piece of extruded and anodized aluminum. The rugged base provides efficient thermal management. It provides structural efficiency without increasing the weight of the light bar. The casing also provides high impact and shock resistance which is important for emergency vehicles. SAE light standards should be met by all light bars and if you find that they are, you can be assured of their reliability and high performance.
A multi-functional LED strobe light bar has front facing linear strobes measuring up to 6 and rear facing strobes with the same dimensions. Smaller 4 corner strobes are also present. The power rating of the strobe lights can vary up to 90 watt although 30 and 60 watt strobe lights are very popular. These strobes can provide you 70 quad flash bursts in a minute. The current in the circuit though could go slightly higher and touch 10 16 amperes, although LED strobe light usually have lower peak currents. Depending upon the number of light heads, the light bars vary in weight too, although they are usually lighter than 50 lbs.
An LED strobe light bar gives plenty of choices in terms of the colors for outer lenses and strobe filters. Clear LEDs can also be used to produce green, red, amber and blue beams with the help of different filters. You can therefore have split color segments for flashing warning signals. The LEDs are super bright with high luminosity and low beam temperature and quick heat dissipation through the aluminum casing ensures that they are not easily heated up, thus retaining their efficiency.
