If you are an emergency services worker, you know the value of high quality lights. From dash mounted lights to LED police light bars, the options these days, when it comes to high quality emergency lights, are limitless, but not every light is appropriate for every situation. It is very important to choose lights that take into account your role in your work, as well as your vehicle and what the purpose of your lights is.
The flash and bright patterns of LED police light bars are familiar to us all, yet there are a lot more types of LED lights we should consider when we are outfitting a vehicle for emergency services. Take into account the kind of role you perform first when you are thinking about purchasing new lights for your vehicle.
If you are a volunteer or you work only part-time, you should be thinking about two things. How portable are your lights? How much do they cost? Portability is very important because if you are a part time or volunteer worker, it is very likely that you are using your own personal vehicle for work, so you will need something that can be quickly assembled for the job and then quickly taken apart and stored away after the shift is over. For this kind of work, something small like a dash mounted light is perfect. It will alert drivers and pedestrians of your presence and role on the scene and will shine brightly and impactfully, but when the day is done you can easily dismount it and put it away in your car or your glove box. These lights are also on the less expensive side of emergency lights, so they are great if this is not your full time career or you are simply on a budget.
For those of you who are full time employees or for those who run a station and need to maintain a fleet of emergency vehicles, you will want to consider something a lot more substantial and durable. A great solution for you might be to purchase LED light bars that can be mounted on the roof of vehicles. These can even be permanently installed so that you no longer have to worry about switching them on or off. You can also use a portable light solution if you are rotating vehicles in and out of your service or if your drivers are using different vehicles each time they work and you need a custom solution that will work for all of them. You can order lights in bulk as well to keep the costs down for your emergency services company and you can ask for advice on how to find the perfect lights for the make and model of vehicles you use.
Whether you are a part time worker or a career veteran, having the proper emergency lights is vital to your job. You need to alert other drivers of your presence and go about your work quickly and safely. At Ultra Bright Lightz, we can help you find the perfect solution.
