LED Light Bars and the Different Ways They Can Be Used

Gone are the days when one light was designed for one specific purpose. The advent of LED lighting solutions, such as LED light bars, has made it possible for one light to cater to multiple requirements.

LED light bars can be used in several different ways which is what makes them so popular. Compared to their other counterparts such as incandescent or halogen lights, the LED bars are extremely energy efficient. They are also cost effective, considering that most LEDs can be used for more than 50,000 hours which is way beyond what can be expected from any other light source. The heat normally radiated by other light bars also results in loss of energy, but in case of LEDs this is kept to a minimum as well. LED bars have good thermal management which is ensured through the use of extruded aluminum casings which ensure that there is efficient heat dissipation keeping the LEDs cool. This is very important because LEDs tend to be more efficient when they are cool, compared to when they get heated up.

LED light bars can be used in a wide range of situations. They can be used for emergency lighting in rescue and search operations, especially in dark areas or highways. The bright output provided by arrays of LEDs which can be 1W, 5W or even 10W, is quite impressive, considering their energy consumption. The output provided by LED bars can be further magnified through the use of chrome deflectors and clear lenses which spread the LED beams in a wider angle for greater coverage. Diamond mirrors are also fixed between multiple strobe lights for 360-degree visibility if required. The lighting provided by LED bars can be easily controlled. For example, it is possible to get narrow focused beams or wider beams for greater lighting. It is also possible to control the intensity of the LED lights to save energy or dim the lights when they are not required in full intensity.

LED light bars can sometimes be used for diverting traffic and clearing out jams and chaotic areas, to make way for emergency vehicles. This is because advanced light bars come with traffic advisor functionalities. Special arrow marker lights can be turned on to flash large arrow signs that can be easily spotted by other vehicle drivers who can follow the directions. The flashing arrow markers could be used when an alleyway needs to be cleared by sending the vehicles to a different direction. It could come especially handy on highways when there is a wreckage or crash blocking the entire road. The marker lights can be spotted from large distances too.

LED light bars are also used to flash warning and cautionary signals. The flash patterns of LED lights cannot be missed by anyone around, especially with so many different flash patterns. It is possible to synchronize the flash patterns from each light head mounted on a vehicle too. It is also possible to use multiple colored beams emanating from different segments of a light bar to attract the attention of onlookers. The flashing light bars can help highway patrol cars, ambulances, fire engines and other emergency vehicles pass on the message to other drivers to give them a clear pathway.
