Purchasing Resources for Emergency Strobe And Beacon Lights

Emergency Strobe and Beacon Lights Key Terms

Keep up with terms and regulations to get emergency lights that suit your needs
By Denise Ryan Used as safety equipment for everything from emergency vehicles to required building and business lighting, emergency strobe and beacon lights run the gamut from hand-held devices to custom-mounted safety beacons. By keeping up-to-date with industry product and regulatory terms, you can ensure you’re equipping your vehicles, employees or places of business with the right devices. Familiarize yourself with terminology such as “tac strobe flashlight,” “decklights” and “selectable flash patterns” to order the right lighting for your business that is also compliant with state or federal safety regulations.

Decklights

Consider decklights for emergency vehicles as an alternative to models that sit atop the truck or car. Also called dashlights, the units are easy to transfer from vehicle to vehicle since they attach with suction cups and a simple swivel bracket.
Try:  Use the product descriptions, photos and video on the SWPS website to learn more about decklights and dashlights.

Tac strobe flashlight

Designed primarily for law enforcement or military applications, tac strobe flashlight models generate concentrated strobe effects visible from a variety of angles and distances. Look for impact and fire resistant models for added durability and functionality in emergency situations.
Try:  Learn more about tac strobe flashlights, including light emissions, specifications and power requirements, through Industrial Safety Services.

Power magnet

When purchasing warning lights for emergency or maintenance transport, look for versions with power magnets that keep them securely attached to the moving vehicles.
Try:  Wolo offers LED warning lights and rotating beacon lights featuring power magnets for easy and secure attachment to metal surfaces.

Selectable flash patterns

If you're looking for beacon lights for warning, emergency or signaling purposes, consider models with selectable flash patterns. Use the feature to customize the lighting patterns to suit specific applications.
Try:  Find beacon lights with selectable flash patterns in assorted sizes and colors through the Fleet Safety website.

Ammeter

Ensure your emergency strobe and beacon lights are ready when needed by purchasing units featuring an ammeter. The device tracks battery power to alert the user when they need to replace or recharge the battery.
Try:  Professional Equipment offers emergency lighting including big beam halogen lights and a variety of beacon lighting with an ammeter feature.

Low profile strobe

Consider low profile strobe models to fit into light bases in diverse sizes. Compare the rating for each unit's number of flashes to find the most cost-efficient models.
Try:  See low profile strobe models in various sizes and colors through the Ingram Products website.
