Strobe lamps - vehicle warning lighting
Vehicle strobe lamps allow the car to stand out on the road. The use of beacons in road traffic is regulated by the relevant legal regulations containing information on the use of beacons. Which vehicles qualify for this type of marking?
Lighting combined with an acoustic signal
Warning lighting comes in many forms, and the nature of the lights should be adjusted directly to the intended use. Before a vehicle is equipped with additional lighting, it is necessary to check the applicable regulations. Some of this type of lighting applies to cars that belong to the health care service or law enforcement category. Most often, warning lights are combined with an acoustic signal, thanks to which the visibility of the vehicle is significantly increased. Threats to human life or health, as well as preventing from violations of public safety, are situations that require proper marking of the car. The category of this type of lamp is based on pulsed blue lighting together with a signal. On the other hand, blue lighting without acoustic signal is used by vehicles whose task is to warn about the place of an accident, an action situation or during the passage of closed columns of cars. Yellow pulsating lighting informs us about the risk - e.x. at the site of road works, an accident or warns us about cars that are moving on the road at an extremely slow pace.
Pulsating blue and yellow lights
A separate category are additional headlights or warning lights, with which we can enrich a vehicle participating in road traffic. Blue pulsed light strobe lamps can be used in motor vehicles that perform activities related to the executive service of the police, military gendarmerie or customs. This type of lighting is also used in fire-fighting vehicles, fire brigades and disaster protection services. Warning lights also have cars that have been registered as accident services of public transport establishments. In addition, blue pulsating lights are also used in vehicles adapted to transporting patients.
Yellow warning lights are dedicated to vehicles intended for the construction, maintenance, cleaning of roads and road installations. We can also use them in cars that collect waste. Generally, these lights can be found most often in roadside assistance vehicles. Of course, it is necessary to determine precisely whether the car in question is eligible for this type of warning light. Yellow strobe lamps can also be installed in vehicles with a non-standard width or length of the load. In this case, too, the relevant authorities must issue the appropriate approval for the installation of the lamps.
The influence of pollution on the intensity of beacons
LED strobe lamps use energy-saving technology that significantly reduces the costs associated with the trouble-free use of the device. It is worth remembering to clean the lights periodically, because dirt significantly reduces the warning effectiveness. A thoroughly cleaned lamp illuminates the vehicle to the maximum, while not scattering the light and providing optimal light output. Dirty lights, on the other hand, reduce the effectiveness of the beacon by dispersing and lowering the outlet. When deciding to buy lighting, you should carefully study the parameters of the product.
Warning lightbars adapted to trucks are also a similar category. They use LED light in their construction, and their assembly is based on placing on the roof of the vehicle. Depending on the needs, this type of lighting is enriched with a different number of warning or alternating flashes. On the other hand, the flashing warning lights can be installed on the roof of the truck as well as on the side. Then it is necessary to use appropriate fasteners that will allow you to safely place the lighting in the required place.
