Where we can see a mini lightbar being used
A mini lightbar can be found and is used in many places. Motorcyclists use them to increase their visibility. Temporary emergency vehicles use them to advertize their presence. Service vehicles use them to make other road users aware.
A mini lightbar is not only used for emergency vehicles, there are other uses too. Bike riders are especially vulnerable to “not being seen” and many a crash has occurred as a car driver doesn’t observe a bike as it is moving through the traffic and changes lanes or turns thus causing a collision. This type of accident could often be avoided if the bike was fitted with A mini lightbar that flashed.
Nothing attracts awareness as successfully as a shining or flashing light. Even in daylight a blazing glow will get ones notice. For instance the flashing of neon lights has been found to be effective in attracting customers to shops and entertainment venues even during the day. These are several of the many functions that mini lightbars fulfill and can be used to make a bike more noticeable to other road users. A mini lightbar for bike riders typically come in red amber and black (very dark red). They can be made to flash in an attention grabbing manner. They draw very little power and can be fitted to all parts of the bike thus catching the eye of all motorists.
The police are other major users for a mini lightbar on stealth or unmarked patrol vehicles. Detectives on patrol or traffic command vehicles driving in the regular course of events don’t genuinely want to draw attention to themselves. But if they possess a lightbar mounted permanently on to their roof they would be unable to be unobtrusive. With a mini lightbar the problem is solved. They can sneak around until required and then at a stroke put the device onto the roof with the magnets by reaching through the window and activate at the cigarette lighter controls. A mini lightbar can of course be purchased and deployed on any other motorcar which periodically wants to advertise its presence. Temporary engineering vehicles are examples. Not continuously employed as service vehicles they may only want a flashing amber mini lightbar on occasion.
There are many instances when one wants to deploy as much light as one can to make one’s presence known. If one is driving down a motorway and one come unexpectedly upon a pile up the reflexive response is to apply the brakes and slow down. Your brake lights come on which are obviously brighter red lights in the tail light assembly. Many modern vehicles, particularly people carriers and sports utility vehicles are equipped with additional brake lights in the back window. Now in order to draw extra awareness to oneself, in addition to the brake lights, one would activate the hazard signal lights to extract further attention to the fact that one is slowing down and telling other road users to be careful. This is the time where a mini lightbar would be desirable.
The colors generally used are red for emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire vehicles. The police use blue and red usually often with a white light shining forward. Note that Blue is only used by law enforcement. Road services and engineering vehicles use a yellow or amber light which warns other road users to be aware of the presence of workers on the roadway. The mini lightbar may be deployed on any of these types of vehicles where the vehicle doesn’t always need to have a permanent Lightbar displayed.
