Light Bars-just what the doctor,police,EMTs and many other vehicles ordered!
The humble single flashing light on top of a police car or fire engine has come a long way in recent years. LED lighting is now mass-produced and is therefore affordable and available. Whatever you need from light bars, you can get
We have all seen the old movies with the police car charging down a city street with its single light flashing and siren blaring. It’s an iconic image and an enduring one. However, our emergency response vehicles need far more sophisticated warning lighting now and a single flashing light just isn’t enough. Enter, the modern light bars. They are versatile, reliable and come in many different size units. The light bars fitted to vehicles are excellent for visibility and can come in a tiered bank of lights that would be extremely difficult to miss by other road users.
light bars come in many different color versions. Many of them have dual color and some can change color with the flick of a switch. The colors needed on any light bars would be dependant on whether it was police, fire, EMT or other vehicle using the light bars. Colors needed also vary from state to state and there is no one standard for using a light bar on a vehicle. The only ‘must’ is they have to have some form of hazard warning light. Other than the colors and the fact they have to have a light, emergency vehicles need to have an audible warning to use alongside the visible warning.
You may think you would like a few light bars on your vehicle, how cool would that be? Well it wouldn’t b cool at all. You may find yourself on the wrong side of the law if you purchased and fitted any light bars that could lead to your vehicle being mistaken for an emergency vehicle. Only vehicles authorized to have light bars fitted should have light bars fitted. Private vehicles can carry some form of emergency hazard warning lighting, and in the main, that is what you should carry in case of emergency.
There are many ways to purchase light bars. Some service departments prefer to ask for bids for suppliers of their light bars. Such published bid requests can be very detailed, even down to the wattage of certain bulbs! Of course, the Internet is awash with suppliers of light bars and can be a good place to start if you need to check out prices and retailers. You may find that some departments will pass on details about the retailers they use and this is an excellent way to find a good, reliable retailer.
Regardless of what type of emergency first responder you are, or what kind of vehicle you are purchasing light bars for, you will find your exact specifications somewhere. A little bit of research should reap the rewards for you. Don’t be too hasty in your search as that could end up costing you dearly for items. The light bars you purchase are an important item for your team and as such should be chosen with care. They need to meet all of your requirements and be versatile enough to fit any vehicle
