subject: Wide Angle Dash Lights For Internal Mounting On Emergency Vehicles [print this page] It is interesting to look at the dash light kit for emergency vehicles. It usually comprises of a wide dome, a polycarbonate, rugged black housing, an optional swivel mount bracket in black or white, a grommet mount kit and in some cases, split blue and amber or blue and red, LED light segments. These dash lights can be mounted adjacent to the windshield, on the dash or near the headliner in a way so as to not distract the driver. They come with a flashback shield or hood made of rugged and tough polycarbonate which further assists in attaining this purpose. The edges of these lights are rounded or made blunt so that they don't interfere during side air bag deployment that takes place in cars during accidents.
The compact dash light equipment comes with your desired color of LEDs and lenses so that you can mix and match the beams depending upon the kind of warning signal that you need. The outer lenses are usually clear and undetectable. Split modules with dual color LED segments are sometimes used for greater effectiveness of the flashing. Dash lights usually have a selection switch that can help in scanning and locking the desired flash pattern. This is important because the lighting output also varies to a certain degree based on the flash pattern. High flash rate quad bursts can emit a very large lighting output which is bright and brilliant and can be perceived from very long distances.
The dash light equipment is usually small and makes the most of super bright, 4 Watt LEDs which can provide high intensity lighting in different colors. The single unit shrouds for example are around 5 inches in length and just 1.75 inches in thickness while double units could be slightly longer than 8 or 9 inches. Some of them can be mounted with angle and height adjustment as well so that you can make sure that their impact is maximized. Dash lights with snap on hoods can easily be installed with just a couple of screws. Combination of swivel brackets and suction cups is used for stable mounting. 8 foot straight cords, cigar plug On/Off switch and a flash pattern control mechanism are some of the other constant fixtures in different designs of the dash lighting equipment.
Modern dash lights are slimmer and hence lightweight and easily portable. They are sleek and are designed tough to outlast heavy duty usage. They are made of thermally efficient, high impact resistant plastic with rugged aluminum or polycarbonate base. The warning power of the dash light equipment can easily be enhanced through the use of additional LEDs, reflectors or lenses. Moreover, it is quite easily possible to connect two dash lighting units to create synchronized and even more powerful warning signal. Molex waterproof cables or shielded connectors are also provided along with the kit so that there is no trouble during the installation. The dash lighting equipment is not only useful for cars but also for marine vessels and motorcycles.
