subject: The Extensive Range Of Emergency Vehicle Lights Available [print this page] There is a comprehensive range of emergency vehicle lights which come handy in different ways. You have emergency lighting equipment custom designed for some vehicles. You can also have lighting units which are ideal for temporary mounting across a large fleet of vehicles. There are permanent mounting solutions too like massive light bars. emergency vehicle light units vary in terms of their sizes, their design, the features they provide, the mounting accessories available with them and the part of the vehicle where they are mounted. A lot of technology has also gone into the design of the lights making them more efficient and effective. Professional reputed manufacturers make sure that every single aspect of the design is covered to provide maximum assistance during emergencies.
The broadest classification of emergency vehicle lights includes external and internal mounting lights. The externally mounted lighting units include light bars across various lengths from around 36 inches to over 72 inches. There are mini light bars too which could be mounted both outside and inside the vehicle. There are strobe lights which are installed inside composite headlights, tail lights and brake lights. You will also come across grille lights which are mounted close to the radiator grille or the front bumper. The deck and dash lights are the best examples of internally mounted emergency vehicle light units. These have the capability to be mounted on flat and curved surfaces, close to the rear window, the front windshield or in the corner of the vehicle. Care is taken to ensure that the lighting equipment doesn't interfere with the deployment of air bags in case of accidents.
A lot of the effectiveness of the emergency vehicle lights depends really on the number of LED light modules that are configured together or the wattage of the LEDs used. Super bright, Gen IV LEDs are used for their intense brightness. In some LED modules, dozens of 1 Watt LEDs are stacked together in arrays. What is impressive in the present day emergency vehicle light design, is the amount of control that is provided to the crew, while also making operation extremely easy. For example, there are mini bars and dash lights with multiple tiers of LEDs. Similarly, the light bars are comprised of multiple modules or lighting units.
Emergency vehicle lights are usually powered with a 12 "" 24 V DC power source and the amperage tends to be quite low, sometimes below 1 Ampere, depending upon the power and capacity of the lighting units. A good emergency vehicle light unit usually comes with a 2 or 5 year hassle free warranty too. Modern LED emergency vehicles are known for their low maintenance and easy servicing. They can be mounted temporarily with a combination of magnets or Velcro straps. They can also be mounted on a permanent basis using swivel brackets or slide bolts that are driven through 1 inch holes. The kits also include shielded power cables, passenger and driver side exits and sync interconnectors which help in easy installation of the whole equipment.
