LED Lightbars are the first responders early warning system
Why are emergency vehicles so distinctive and noticeable? In the main, it is so we, the public are aware of their presence. What is probably the single most noticeable thing about an emergency vehicle? Its LED lightbars are what you will notice first when they are speeding to an emergency.
We as pedestrians and road users need to be kept warned and informed that vehicles, responding to an emergency. The way the vehicles do this is by employing warning lights and sirens. LED lightbars are the perfect example of a warning. They are hard to miss, we see them from a great distance and they are the way we recognize they are responding to an emergency. We all see flashing lights and hear sirens every day, and whilst it may be an annoyance, it shouldn’t be. The flashing LED lightbars are telling us the vehicle is on its way to assist a member of the public in either grave danger or at risk of some kind.
Visual warnings are very important to us all, but what of the partially sighted? They wouldn’t necessarily see a flashing LED lightbars until it was virtually upon them. Which is why emergency vehicles need a visual and an audible warning system? Any LED lightbars would be useless without the back up of a siren. Likewise, a loud siren would be rendered obsolete if there was no highly visible LED lightbars somewhere noticeable on the vehicle. Our emergency vehicles need to be seen in all lights, weather and atmospheric conditions and they need those highly visible LED lights to give that visibility.
There is no point in having poor lighting on an emergency vehicle. It just wouldn’t do the job of warning of danger and hazard. There are now on the market extra bright LED lightbars that give massive lighting power, but have virtually no drain on battery power. This is ideal lighting for emergency vehicles, as they may need to have their lights on for lengthy periods of time. Older lighting such as halogen and candescent caused considerable drain on vehicle batteries, which is why LED Lightbars are now the lighting of choice.
Why have something that is liable to leave a vehicle unable to start and doesn’t give much lighting power, rather than some very bright, visible lighting that keeps the battery running, as it should. So where would you go to get your LED lightbars? A very good source of any such items today is of course the Internet. There is a vast choice of LED lightbars and a wide variety of models, shapes, sizes and light colors. Retailers have realized that our emergency services need these lightbars and have been quick to develop and manufacture units that fit the bill exactly for the police, fire services and EMT services.
It’s fair to say that some of the multi tiered variable flash pattern and large LED lightbars are expensive. However, what price should you put on your personnel’s safety? There should be no price. Their safety should be protected at any cost. With some of the pricier units it’s worth shopping around. You may get postage deals or multi-purchase discounts. Don’t be afraid to ask the retailer anything. They should be happy to answer any question you have. First responder’s need that early warning that LED lightbars can give them.
