subject: Compact, Undetectable Vehicle Warning Lights For Emergency Vehicles [print this page] There are many different types of vehicle warning lights that come in all shapes and sizes depending upon how they are used and the vehicles they are mounted upon. There are mammoth light bars and large strobe light heads that are mounted on vehicle roofs and are capable of providing highly efficient, penetrative and powerful warning signals. However, big is not always efficient or useful. In some cases, you would need something that is smaller and yet doesn't compromise in terms of the intensity of the lighting or the features. This is where concealable and smaller emergency vehicle lights prove to be of so much use. Such lights are highly popular as undercover police lights too.
A very good example of undercover police lights include strobe tubes that can be mounted through 1 inch holes inside composite headlights or tail lights. Then there are the dash and deck lights which are also highly effective as far as undercover lighting is concerned. Vehicle warning lights like dash lights can be mounted close to the dash or headliner. The visor lights are suited for mounting behind the visor away from the view of the driver. In fact, the dash and visor lights usually come with a polycarbonate hood so that those inside the vehicle aren't distracted by the flashy lights. These undercover lights are perfect to be used by unmarked vehicles which are involved in covert operations.
These undercover police lights usually make use of clear, replaceable polycarbonate lenses which are virtually undetectable when the lights are not turned on. These are usually very compact. In fact, the dash lights have just 2 LED modules each with 4 to 6, 4-Watt LEDs that are bright and use TIR technology for maximum lighting output. The vehicle warning lights in such cases can even make use of colored LEDs. Dual colored LED segments can provide greater variety in terms of flash patterns. A mix of blue, red and amber LEDs can be ideal to send out an attention grabbing warning signal. There are other types of compact emergency lights such as the grille lights that can be mounted close to the radiator grille or near the bumper.
These undercover police lights are reliable because of the use of light emitting diodes. Spare strobe tubes are provided with strobe beacons used by emergency lights. These strobe tubes are in all colors for offering good variety. Moreover, some strobe tubes can be mounted through mounting holes as small as 0.75 inches. A switch is provided to flip the lights on or get them to flash as and when required. The flash patterns can be operated through the strobe tubes when required, while solid steady lighting of the strobes can come handy sometimes as well. Undercover strobe kits come with spare strobes, inner and outer lenses and filters. These vehicle warning lights are portable as well ensuring that you can shift them from one vehicle to another. They can be mounted with suction cups making sure holes are not drilled.
