The Mini lightbar is only mini in name not in nature.
When you see anything with the word mini attached to it you could be forgiven for thinking the thing is a small and less useful item. With a mini lightbar, you get a compact unit with powerful performance.
Full sized lightbars have a place in the emergency vehicle world, no one would suggest otherwise. However, your needs may be such that you need a smaller unit that gives you plenty light output with a lot of functionality, so the mini lightbar would fulfil those requirements. Some of the smaller units are designed to be fitted inside a vehicle, which lights the vehicle outside. Visor lights could be classed as a mini lightbar and they are very effective in any vehicle. The beauty of inside lighting is it will last longer as it’s not exposed to the elements.
A lot of the mini lightbar units contain LED lights as they have optimum light output. The smaller units often still need the same kind of punch of light as the larger units and the way to achieve this is with the use of LED’s. The benefits of LED don’t end there as it’s one of the most economical lights to run, and in our cash strapped world that is increasingly important. Externally fitted lightbars are available and what you will find with these is they are robust units constructed to withstand the rigors of the weather and anything else you care to throw at them. The external mini lightbar units will be fully encapsulated to protect from moisture corrosion.
Another big plus for mini lightbar units is they are much cheaper to purchase, again important when budgets are being stretched to the limit. A smaller unit with the same functionality of a larger unit will be much cheaper yet perform just as well. An assessment of you lighting needs for your vehicles is always wise as you can then only buy exactly what you need as opposed to having functionality you don’t want. A mini lightbar is easy to fit and can go in many areas on a vehicle, whereas the full size lightbars are somewhat restricted to where they can be attached.
Anyone who needs lightbars of any description needs several things from them. All first response vehicles will need their lighting to provide high visibility, and they will need a variable flash pattern and possible different color lights. That’s probably the basic requirements from a lightbar. Reliability is a key thing and certainly the mini lightbar units available today are reliable and easy to maintain. In fact many lightbar units that contain LED lights are virtually maintenance free! The smaller sized lightbars can be very good as more concealed lighting, particularly the visor lights.
The advantages of going for a mini lightbar are clear, but if you are not convinced maybe this will make your mind up. Mini in price but not mini in performance, compact easy to use and versatile. Powerful LED lights to give maximum light output for a smaller unit plus a range of different powering and fitting options. Of course the mini lightbar is a smaller compact unit but some classed as mini units are still a good size and the size range is anywhere between 12 and 23 inches. Mini in stature but certainly not mini in what it can give you, the mini lightbars are big in every other way but size!
