Selecting Highly Effective Lights For All Occasions
Lights have become an integral part of human life today. Life without lighting solutions is just unimaginable. There are so many lighting solutions available today that you will not be left wanting for choice, irrespective of your requirements.
Selecting the right kind of lights, whether it is for decorating your house, for a party or for an emergency vehicle needs attention to detail, knowledge of the various options available and above all, a thorough idea of the exact requirements. It is important to take note of what you need versus what is available, to ensure you get the best possible lighting solution within your budget and that too with excellent features. Shopping for highly effective lighting fixtures could be particularly difficult with so much variety available in the market. However, it is interesting to note that with a good understanding of the necessity at hand, you can get the right options and that too at economical prices.
For emergency lights, you might have to look at parameters quite different from what you will consider for decorative lighting. Modern emergency lighting needs to be energy efficient as you cannot always go with sufficient backup power supply. This is why LEDs are used so frequently in emergency lighting as they consume very less energy and can be powered by a simple 12 V DC power supply. At the same time they offer excellent luminosity compared to xenon, halogen or CFL lights. You have plenty of variety too as you can mix and match 3mm, 5mm, 7mm and 10mm LEDs with power wattage rating varying between 1W to as high as 30Watt. Generation III and Generation IV LEDs are particularly reliable and their super bright intensity is penetrative enough even in the most adverse weather conditions. LED lighting is energy efficient also because of the low heat loss compared to other lighting options.
For emergency as well as decorative lights user selectable flash patterns prove to be of great use. This is because flash patterns grab attention easily and can enhance the lighting visibility especially in foggy or hazy conditions. This is why tail and brake light flashing is used in heavy equipment vehicles on highways. Similarly, flashing traffic directional bars are used when there is highway wreckage, spillage or construction during dark nights. These lights, especially with sequential and alternate, single, double and quad flashes, are highly visible.
Moreover, modern day lighting fixtures use all kinds of optical enhancements to increase the visibility of the light and that too in all the directions. Both emergency and decorative LED lights use polycarbonate lenses and colored filters to enhance the effectiveness of the light beams. In some mini light bars, diamond mirrors are installed between a pair of strobe light heads for wide angle visibility. Fresnel domes and reflectors are also used these days to enhance the light beams to a great extent. Optic spreading filters are provided above a series of 1W LEDs to collect the unidirectional light beams and then spread them over a greater angle. Apart from the optical enhancements, it is also important to note the ease of operation in any lighting fixture while making a choice. You should select light bars or fixtures which allow you to turn them on or off or alter the flash patterns with absolute ease.
