subject: The Importance Of Flash Patterns In Emergency Warning Light Led Equipment [print this page] The importance of the emergency warning light LED equipment lies in its ability to be resilient and reliable during critical situations. Light emitting diodes through their versatility and energy efficiency have made emergency vehicle lights a lot more powerful and useful when it comes to attracting the attention of the motorists. These LEDs can provide excellent output and high grade luminosity without too much power consumption. This is why 1, 2 or 4 Watt LEDs are used to design LED strobe lights and LED light segments that are part of the light bars. The individual parameters like intensity and even color can be controlled along with the beam angle and beam temperature. What adds to the effectiveness of these warning lights is a wig wag or a built in flasher.
The wig wag is an external component that helps the warning light LED equipment flash in a wide variety of patterns. These wig wags can give you positive as well as negative switching and a wide variety of flashes at high flash rates. These flashes are extremely important to enhance the visibility of the warning light. This is because when there is plenty of ambient lighting, emergency lights need something that can enhance their dazzling effect and grab the attention of the motorists. This is what the wig wags are capable of doing. Multiple flash patterns like random blinking, alternate or sequential blinking of different LED segments, high rate flashing of the LED segments and quad bursts can draw the attention of the drivers around.
The wig wag is a very compact device, hardly measuring 1.5 inches in thickness and about 4 inches in length. The external flasher is moisture and vibration resistant and is sealed to protect it from dust as well. You can easily mount the flasher along with the rest of the warning light LED equipment. These wig wags can be perfect during adverse conditions, especially when it is very foggy. They can be used to flash the LED strobes installed in the fog lights, head lights, tail, turn or brake lights of vehicles, especially the patrol cars. These flashers can also be used to complement grille, visor, dash and deck lights which are small in size but efficient with their lighting.
In modern warning light LED equipment, solid state electronics is used with built in flash patterns so that an external wig wag or flasher is not really required. The full length light bars for example, can come with as many as 50 or even more flash patterns including triple flash and quad bursts known for maximizing the light output. This high light output can help in grabbing attention of motorists from a long distance. The flashing can also help in case of directional traffic advisors which are used in light bars to flash gigantic directional arrows that can help in redirecting traffic. Owing to the high visibility of flashing LEDs, car drivers can be notified of the diversion from a very long distance even in bad weather.
