The strobe light bars distinguish emergency vehicles from personal cars
How do you distinguish emergency vehicles from the rest of the vehicles? The various markings such as signs on the vehicle help you in identifying that it’s an emergency vehicle. Most often you visualize bright lights of various colors such as red, blue, amber and yellow flashing from police cars motorbikes, ambulances, tow trucks and fire trucks. The brightness is caused due to the effective implementation of strobe technology in a light bar that is installed in the vehicle.
Strobe light bar units are available in a range of different sizes to fit most vehicles, from the smallest automobile to a truck. The strobe light bar can come in different color ways. They also come with different light options such as ‘take down’ lights, alley lights and traffic directors. The units that can be purchased now are very sophisticated and perform a multitude of different flashing patterns.
The requirements for emergency vehicle lighting vary from state to state, which is why the strobe light bar units are not fitted as standard. Ford was one of the first automobile companies to offer vehicles with a police package of fittings such as a siren and light. In the early days of policing, the choices of warning light were very limited. Strobe light bar units today perform several functions; they warn, advise and help maintain the safety of our roads.
The modern strobe light bar units can be left on for long periods of time. The units can be made to be low profile thereby helping to save fuel whilst the vehicle is moving. The construction of the strobe light bar means there are no filaments to burn out or indeed bulbs to break. In effect the modern strobe light bar units are maintenance free, which in today’s tight fiscal times is a huge bonus to any law enforcement or emergency service department. The price of maintaining safety on our streets is justifiable and necessary.
