Mounting Accessories for Emergency Lighting Products
Emergency lighting products that are used in most vehicles can be mounted and installed without professional assistance. However, it is important to have the right mounting accessories on hand to simplify the task.
When you want effective emergency lighting, one of the aspects that you should take particular care of is the way you mount the lighting fixtures. There is a wide array of mounting options available offering lot of flexibility when it comes to mounting the various emergency lighting options. Whether you use light bars, mini bars, beacons, grille, dash and deck lights or traffic advisors, efficient mounting is the key to get optimum visibility. You can pick and choose the mounting options based on the size and weight of the emergency lighting fixtures that you have. For example, smaller visor lights can be mounted using a simpler Velcro strap, while you may need stainless steel mounting straps for larger light bars, with at least a dozen light heads installed on them.
Mounting brackets are commonly used for mounting of emergency lighting equipment. There are many different varieties of mounting brackets. Swivel brackets are commonly used with suction cups for safe and secure mounting of full length light bars too. You can go for smaller concave vacuum cups which are ideal for emergency light fixtures of up to 10lbs in weight. These are generally used for temporarily mounting lights on boats, trucks and ATVs. The main advantage these suction cups offer is that there is no need for drilling holes in the surface of the vehicle. Besides, the use of rubber pads can ensure that the mounting doesn’t result in any damage to the finish of the vehicle. There are larger suction cups as well for greater weights. It is also possible to assemble customized mounting options for specific lighting requirements.
You can also go for 2-way L-shaped or U shaped mounting brackets. Intersection brackets too are available for mounting your emergency lighting equipment. You can also go for shelf mount or mirror mount brackets for mounting beacons or mini light bars to flat vertical surfaces. There are angled brackets and custom wedges which are useful for mounting emergency light fixtures at a predetermined tilt. In fact, some angled brackets are custom built for specific vehicles like the Crown Victoria or Chevy Tahoe. Chrome flanges, metal bracket fasteners and mounting screws are also part of the hardware that is available for different mounting requirements. There are also headliner brackets which are ideal for dash and deck lights which are usually mounted in the interior of the vehicle.
emergency lighting products such as linear LED modules are specifically designed for mounting using chrome or black plastic flanges. The plastic or composite nylon used is sturdy and high impact resistant. Recessed, horizontal bail and pedestal mounting brackets are some of the other mounting options for emergency light fixtures. Most of these mounting accessories provide the flexibility as far as tilt and height are concerned. There are mounting accessories for sliding in emergency lights through composite headlamps or for installing them over tail, turn or brake lights. Temporary magnetic mounts are also available, using 4 powerful magnets, with a combined pull that exceeds 60 lbs.
