Led Strobe Lights Have Full Spectrum Uses

A stroboscopic lamp, which is better known by the name strobe light

, is a light that produces the required effect by recurring flashes of light.Halogen lights known as HID or high intensity discharge lights were traditionally used in strobe lights. However, with the advent of LED in the world of illumination, strobe lights too rely on this light source, giving rise to what are known as LED strobe lights.

The basic attraction of strobe lighting is that they can be programmed to give various visual effects. Something moving cyclically can be made to appear stationary by strobe lighting. The flashing pattern of LED strobe lights come in very handy for warning light applications in various emergency vehicles like police vehicles, ambulances, and stationary construction site equipments.

Even simple LED strobe lights can be programmed to flash in many different ways. Lights can be controlled to flash continuously slow or continuously fast, alternatively fast, alternatively slow, alternatively slow and fast, or in many other combinations of differently numbered slow and fast cycles. As in all emergency vehicle applications, red, blue, amber, and white are the common colors used for LED strobe lights.

LED strobe lights used in emergency vehicles can be mounted permanently on the roof, or even inside the vehicle near the side mirror, or rear view mirror, or window, or dash, or deck. There are also small LED strobe lights units that come with adjustable pedestals, and provisions for temporary mounting. These can be mounted anywhere in the vehicle and can be detached and re-mounted in the same place, or at another point or in another vehicle.LED strobe lights for temporary use can be mounted by connecting it to the cigarette adapter of the vehicle, or can be screwed in or magnetically mounted.

Concealed LED strobe lights that can be incorporated into headlights or taillights are used in undercover operations by the police. These lights will not be visible till activated and so comes in very handy for policemen who need to operate invisibly. The use of LED lights in taillights of ordinary vehicles is not always recommended because the high level stimulation from strobe lighting could be strong enough to disorient the driver in the vehicle behind. However, for this very reason, the use of LED strobe lights in police vehicles can be helpful to the police in interaction with criminals.

LED strobe lights can be calibrated to produce even hundred flashes in a second for certain industrial purposes and are used to measure rotation speeds. Another application of LED lights is in video-stroboscopy where it is used to view vocal cord movements during speech. These lights are available as portable units for use as party lights or for stage lighting. Since color is generated in an LED light with its chemical combination, they can be programmed to produce a wide range of colors, including a light almost like daylight, or an ultraviolet light. In the case of simple portable LED strobe lights, there will be several inbuilt flash patterns, whereas with more sophisticated ones the user will be able to program many more flash patterns of his choice.
