Police Strobes to inform us and keep officers safe
Flashing police strobes are a fairly iconic image. One we have all grown up with. The strobe is useful for any emergency vehicle but it’s mainly associated with police vehicles. Many years ago, the only lighting on a police vehicle was likely to be a single roof mounted strobe. The police strobes are still in use and very popular today.
Police strobes are used for several reasons. They are very bright and visible from a great distance and they are also seen over a 360-degree angle. The all round view of a strobe makes them ideal as a warning beacon and makes a police vehicle visible from every angle. You may think a strobe light is a dome with a rotating effect, and yes there are police strobes like that. The technology has moved on and now police strobes can be fitted just about anywhere on a vehicle, making them versatile and useful in many situations.
The use of police strobes may not be new, but their use on vehicles has changed. There are police strobes that can be grille fitted, dash fitted and head/tail light fitted. Many of the strobe models fitted into a head or taillight are used by under cover police, so they remain hidden until they need to draw attention to the vehicle. There are visor strobe lights and dash strobe lights, so wherever you need to mount the light you have space on your vehicle for it. Strobe lights are very visible in all light conditions. They are also visible in all weather conditions.
A strobe light is something that can be small and hidden away, or larger and very visible. Depending on what you use your vehicle for there will be a strobe light to suit. A single police strobes beacon light can be used to temporarily add additional emergency lighting to a vehicle and attached either magnetically or with Velcro for quick and easy attachment and removal. Some police strobes have a build in flasher and the flash pattern can be varied for different situations. The strobe is a very good addition to the standard lightbars you have on police vehicles.
Single strobe units are very cost effective and that is good when you are using them to supplement the other lighting you have on a vehicle. Police strobes are a common sight, but strobes are also used on construction vehicles, and some municipal vehicles to act as hazard warnings. When a police strobe light is used on a stationary vehicle then they are highly effective in making that vehicle seen. There can be no mistaking the rotating police strobes when we see them on our streets.
The use of any lighting on a police vehicle has one main aim, and that is to keep the officers in the vehicle visible at all times and therefore safe. The more visible a vehicle is the less likely it is to be hit by another vehicle or to be involved in any accidents due to weather or poor light conditions. Strobe lights also come with LED lighting, which is now one of the most popular forms of bulb for emergency lights. LED strobe lights will cause less battery drain and can be used for long periods of time. Police strobes are a good way of adding additional hazard warning at a low cost, and keeping our officers visible and safe.
