LED light bars are what normally spring to mind
Emergency vehicles have a long and very diverse history. The first emergency vehicles were around in the 1880’s and would not have looked anything like those today. There were no LED light bars on original vehicles, only very rudimentary lights and a bell.
It’s a fascinating subject, emergency and police vehicle history, even people who have no interest in vehicles or police have an interest in that kind of history. Young boys would get a thrill when they hear a siren wail and see flashing lights and a vehicle speeding towards them. There is a certain fascination about emergency vehicles. Who hasn’t looked round a fire vehicle and wondered what it would be like to sit up front and speed down the street. The reality of a speeding emergency vehicle with its LED light bars is however something altogether different, they are going to save lives.
The times we come into contact with emergency vehicles with LED light bars blazing and siren blaring is times when either we need their assistance or others do. If you were the one at the scene waiting for the fire service or a police car then you can begin to see how vital the lighting on a vehicle would be. You could see someone was coming to your assistance and watch the other traffic move aside to let them pass. The fact we see flashing lights daily illustrates just how crucial they are in getting them to where they need to be as quickly as possible.
The LED light bars are very bright, can be seen from great distances and are also visible in all weather and light conditions. I’d like to bet you wouldn’t have given much thought to LED light bars unless you have either needed emergency assistance or have been on the wrong side of a police take down light! The LED lighting in vehicles today is incredibly popular and some may think it’s a very new invention but that isn’t the case. The Light Emitting Diode light has been with us since the 1920’s but was only produced in larger numbers in the 1960’s.
LED lights were first used in mass production by Hewlett-Packard who used them in their early calculators. Therefore, the LED light bars you see on vehicles have the calculator as its early cousin! LED lights contain no toxins or mercury and they don’t emit UV light so don’t attract bugs as other lighting does. The LED bulbs need far less power so they can be run from a vehicle battery with very little power drain. LED lights are absolutely perfect for emergency vehicles, and they are now the lighting of choice in many police departments because of their reliability.
When buying LED light bars it’s worth researching some suppliers first, check out any feedback they have. Better still if you can get personal recommendation that is so much better. There will be cheap LED light bars on the market but these are likely to be manufactured cheaply in the Far East and will be of very poor standard. LED lighting on emergency vehicles can be lifesavers and such an important piece of kit choice can’t be left to pure chance. The flashing lights and sirens on emergency vehicles are easily recognizable so give them space and let them pass to do their job.
