Led Light Bars And Different Styles

We all know how important emergency vehicle lights are to our day to day lives

. Not only do they signal that we need to move out of the way for an emergency vehicle but also are important to us if we are on the other side. When we call 911 and are waiting for an emergency vehicle to show up for us, we know that the use of lights is what gets them to us faster.

Over time, the style of emergency vehicle lights has changed. Some have come and gone and some are still available. The first use in the 1940s was single beacons, which were accepted as the main means of attracting attention when the police drove down the street. After more recent iterations of lights were invented, they aren't used so much anymore, though some older models may still have them for preservation purposes. There are a couple of police stations that do use them as tradition, including one in Michigan. They are also often used as secondary lights now, placed on the dashboard.

Rotating lights are another choice in emergency vehicle lights. They usually have one or several lamps with the bulbs protected by a dome. They often use clear domes with colored beacons inside and have gained the nickname of gumball machines.

Magnet mounts work well for single beacons that are still put to use. This is for the case where permanent mounting is impractical or not possible. These kinds of lights are often referred to as Kojak lights after the 1970s show where they used it regularly.

Full sized LED light bars are the kind most commonly used now. The very first light bar was introduced in the 60s, which was made by first attaching a bar to the top of the car. Then separate lights were affixed to the bar. But manufactures saw what was happening and made things easier by creating the full light bars we see often used today.

Current LED light bars are more specific now for a variety of vehicles. The ones you see on police cars are different from the ones on ambulances, which are different from ones spotted on fire trucks. And they differ per country, as well. They've really come a long way from what they used to be in the 40s. Now there's many more options, longer lasting lights, and a variety of different settings that each can be set on with just a flick of a switch.
