Strobe LED units are the ideal emergency information light
On your approach to a roadside accident, what will be immediately evident is the amount of lighting there is. Lightbars and Strobe LED units are all possible lighting you will see on all emergency vehicles.
Coming across an accident on a highway can be a very distressing thing. We see the flashing lights long before we see anything else. The lights we do see are likely to be the ones flashing such as the Strobe LED rotating and flashing lightbars. There is likely to be all kinds of emergency personnel in attendance with many accidents requiring police, medical and fire teams, who all have a massive amount of light power on their vehicles. We don’t want to see this kind of thing on whilst we are driving but it is an all too common sight. You could see light boards or traffic advisor lights showing you graphically which lane to move to, along with the lights needed to illuminate the scene itself.
Many states have set regulations and rules for who attends such incidents and what lighting and emergency equipment they need. However, all vehicles at such a scene will have one thing in common and that is lighting such as the Strobe LED to help maintain road safety. Too much lighting at nighttime roadside emergencies can be detrimental to other drivers by blinding them and causing a general distraction. What often happens at night with excessive amounts of lighting is often called the ‘moth effect’ where drivers are pulled and drift towards the incident rather than navigating and steering away from it.
The personnel working at roadsides only have their apparel to make them visible, so as well as the lighting you will see personnel in high visibility jackets. You will get vehicles strategically parked to protect the scene so other vehicles can’t drift into it and cause further injury or death. Safety at roadside scenes has come into sharp focus in recent years due to the unfortunate and largely preventable deaths and injuries of emergency personnel. Lighting is now better reduced and new ways of vehicle placement is helping roadside scenes be as safe as possible, so a less is more approach means the Strobe LED lights are popular at such scenes.
There is much that can happen at any emergency roadside incident and personnel need to be prepared for any eventuality. The correct use of and level of lighting is proving to be crucial, whereas once the more light the better would have been the norm, now it is a case of less light and more focus. Regardless of your state rules and regulations regarding the use of sirens and lights, you are likely to see Strobe LED lights at a scene. The strobe light has proved to be very effective in the emergency vehicle lighting world and with over 80 years continuous use it is providing good emergency lighting to this day.
At any accident, the mix of potential first response attendees is large. Recovery vehicles, medical vehicles, police and fire vehicles, plus medical examiners can all attend at one single accident. With all of those personnel and the addition of possibly local, county and or state law enforcement agencies the lighting can be way beyond excessive. A few single Strobe LED lights flashing on vehicles would be enough with some other light bars to give drivers warning of the incident. Correct lighting can save first responders and the public’s lives so it is important to have the right level.
