LED Light Bars: Styles and Functions

The advantages of LED light bars over older versions of police lights are substantial. LED lights are more energy efficient, with a longer battery life and a lesser impact on the environment. Consumers also find these lights to be brighter and more focused. Plus, the casings for LED light bars are more sophisticated than older, incandescent lights and offer better protection from harsh weather conditions, scratches and ultraviolet rays. Lastly, most LED light bars come with multiple flash patterns and colors and can work for both indoor and outdoor purposes.

All LED light bar styles work with the same efficiency, but each offer a different set of functions. Let’s look at the varieties of LED police lights.

Full Size Light Bars:

• For emergency vehicles, full sized light bars are the most effective way to make your presence known. Police cruisers, fire engines, escort vehicles and EMT’s rely on the fact that others on the road can see them coming and make room for them. Full sized police light bars are reliable, unmistakable, and effective. Whacker Technologies and Police Lightz both carry extensive lines of full sized light bars and the accessories you need to accompany them.

Mini Light Bars:

• Mini light bars hold the same quality LED lights as their full sized counterparts. The difference is that these emergency vehicle lights are more subtle--perfect for undercover emergency workers. Their straightforward, compact design makes them easy to attach and remove from your vehicle in a hurry. Emergency City carries multiple lines of mini light bars that range from the simplest mini lights to complex, yet small, designs.

Interior Light Bars:

• Used primarily in undercover and unmarked police vehicles, interior lights are housed inside the car (usually on the dashboard) and can be activated with a simple flip of a switch. These allow to you observe a scene without detection before springing into action at a moment’s notice. Police Lightz offers a number of powerful interior lights for undercover agents.

Tow Truck Light Bars:

• Similar to police light bars, these are designed to sit atop a tow truck, and offer many of the same capabilities. Emergency City offers two versions of Police Lightz light bars for towing vehicles.
