Attributes Of Emergency Light That Make A Difference During Emergencies

When we think of emergency lights for vehicles

, there are certain attributes that we come to associate straightaway with the equipment. For example, modern emergency light models are reliable and resilient to heavy duty usage in various conditions, day and night, light and dark, foggy or raining, etc. Moreover, these emergency lighting units make use of LEDs so that their power consumption is extremely low when compared to other alternative light sources in contemporary emergency lighting equipment, such as halogen light heads and xenon flash lamps. This allows you to power the emergency lighting equipment with a simple 12 "" 20V DC power supply battery with the current usually below 5 Amperes.

There are several other attributes of emergency lights which aren't considered as highly but are of great importance in all kinds of situations. One of these attributes is the mounting flexibility of the emergency light bar or dash and deck lights. A variety of mounting brackets are on offer these days from top manufacturers so that it is very easy to mount these lights. What is impressive is that the lights can be mounted anywhere, whether it is a flat surface or a curved surface, whether it is in front of the radiator grille or near the headliner. You can mount modern dash and deck lights horizontally and vertically depending on what the best position is for maximum lighting. Some lights can be mounted over the roof, while some can be mounted inside the vehicle as well.

You can get emergency light fixtures which can be mounted inside composite headlights, taillights, turn lights and brake lights too in order to complement the existing vehicle lighting. Then there are special emergency lights like strobe beacons which can rotate around an axis and can be mounted temporarily using permanent magnets in sets of 4. These magnets are known to have a combined pull in excess of 60 lbs which is far more than the weight of the emergency lighting units. Apart from mounting flexibility, one also needs to pay attention to the sophistication of the switch panel provided with light bars or other forms of emergency lighting units. This is because the switch panel can make things easy or very difficult to operate and can cost valuable time during emergencies.

Modern emergency light units come with illuminated switch panels with LED backlighting and a variety of switches. These emergency lights usually have Scan Lock flash pattern selection mechanisms along with push button, slide position and rotary switches so that the desired flash patterns can easily be selected. Similarly, there are power buttons, knobs for controlling intensity of the lighting and switches for turning on flash patterns in individual units or modules that have been configured together. Another intuitive feature is the ability of these units to flash in synchronization with each other when configured together using a sync interconnector that is provided along with the rest of the kit. Lastly, the emergency lighting units are also impressive because of the use of elements like Fresnel lenses and parabolic reflectors that enhance the quality of the lighting.
