subject: Safety Lights - The Need For Ensuring Security [print this page] Todays vehicles have come a long way from horse-driven carriages. Innovations and technologies too have changed the overall experience of driving a car and any other vehicle for that matter. With the increase in the features of every vehicle, the look and feel has also changed to a large extent. By far, one of the most advanced features to have developed is that of safety.
Safety Lights have become one of the most indispensable features in any vehicle. They are used not only for the safety of the people inside the vehicle but also for those outside. In the recent years, highways all around the world have seen a marked increase in the number of animal deaths on the highway. This is because many a time animals and pets too are startled by the normal lights and often end up erring on the highway. Also, it is not always possible for the driver to stop the vehicle in time, and thus the animal is invariably killed.
Marker Lights are designed to curb this menace and help to alert the animals or for that matter, any person before the vehicle approaches. The specifications of Marker Lights are enforced by Government and should adhere to certain specifics like the size of the light, color and make of the light. The government can even enforce strict laws upon vehicles which do not adhere to the rules laid down.
Before buying Safety Lights or marker lights one should make sure that these lights are tried and tested and have been bought from some of the best manufacturers. Many a time, people end up buying cheap stuff which looks and feels the same as the real deal but lasts hardly for a few months. So never fall for the cheap products.
Some special things to keep in mind before buying these lights are:
Ensure that the lights are from a company of repute.
Make sure that the lights are able to endure harsh weather and other elements like dust, winds, storm, hail etc.
Another very important facet of these lights is that their inner parts should be made of stuff which are able to withstand the harshness of the weather as well as physical assault of winds, impact of trees etc.
Epoxy Resin is an important component. While buying marker lights make sure that the inside of the light is lined with or secured with epoxy. This would make sure that any kind of water or liquid does not seep in to the lights and cause damage of the wires and the components.
Before buying the lights, carefully measure whether they would actually fit in your vehicle or not. If not, then make sure you exchange them at the earliest.
