subject: Essential Benefits Provided By High Quality Mini Light Bar [print this page] The mini light bar provides some essential benefits which makes it a very useful piece of equipment compared to dash, deck or visor lights or even full length light bars. High quality mini lighting bars usually cost around $200 to $400 which is quite inexpensive compared to full length light bars which could cost over $2000. One of the main advantages that mini bars hold over dash and deck lights which are compact and efficient too is that the mini bars are designed for external mounting as well. They come with rugged housing of anodized aluminum and a base plate that protects them from excessive vibration and moisture as well. In other words, the mini bars are resilient enough to operate in tough conditions and handle heavy duty usage as well.
The mini light bar offers another excellent benefit in the form of 360-degree lighting. This is achieved through LED modules which have split array arrangement of LEDs facing all the directions. Some mini lighting bars are rectangular, circular or square in shape, with LEDs arranged all around. These receive encapsulation from a wide angle, clear dome which protects them from dust and moisture, while also ensuring that the light beams emitted by the LEDs gets maximum coverage. These domes are high impact resistant as well. The UV resistant domes prevent dust from settling in with their smooth exteriors and don't yellow easily either.
The mini light bar can be mounted on all kinds of surfaces, flat or curved. The mini lighting bar is quite slim, sometimes less than 2 inches thick. The sleek low profile mini bars are very easy to handle and are portable because of their less weight. They are aerodynamically efficient when mounted on the roof of the vehicle. Unlike the bigger light bars which could dent the roofs of smaller vehicles because of their weight, the mini bars provide quite a safe option. Moreover, these are ideal when the emergency lighting equipment has to be shared between several different vehicles. These mini bars can be easily dismantled, carried around and installed at different points of the emergency vehicle. The kit that comes with the mini bars includes pigtail connectors, 10 foot cables and mounting hardware.
The design of the mini light bar is such that a few screws can be removed to get to any component which allows for easy servicing and upgrades. The mini lighting bar makes up for its small size through off axis visibility which is provided through the use of spreader filters. This enhances the coverage of the mini bar. The mini bars also have built in flash patterns with ScanLock mechanism letting you to choose the desired pattern. There are some excellent options available especially with those mini bars which have multi-colored LED modules. High quality mini bars even come with independent control for each of the individual modules, which enhance their effectiveness further. Mini bars also come with no hassle warranty and are adherent to standard regulations making them very reliable.
