ADVANTAGES OF LED LIGHT BARS
Posted on: Dec. 4, 2017, 10:25 a.m.
OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS, LED LIGHTBARS HAVE LITERALLY SWEPT OUT OLDER REVOLVING HALOGEN MODELS FROM THE MARKETPLACE. THEY ARE NOW THE PREFERRED AND MOST OFTEN USED LIGHT BAR FOR EVERYONE FROM OFF-ROAD ENTHUSIASTS TO TOW TRUCK/ BIG RIG DRIVERS, TO SAFETY PATROL VEHICLE OPERATORS. AND THE MOTOR VEHICLE INDUSTRY IS REAPING A HEAP OF REWARDS FROM THE BREAKTHROUGH LED TECHNOLOGY.
AS A WARNING LIGHT SUPPLIER, LUMASTROBE HAS SEEN FIRST HAND, THE TREMENDOUS SURGE IN LED LIGHT BAR USE OVER THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME. ADVANCES IN MANUFACTURING LEADING TO LOWER COST LEDS HAS FUELED DEMAND, COUPLED WITH THE INHERENT OPERATIONAL BENEFITS OF LED OVER ROTATING (MECHANICAL) HALOGEN AND INCANDESCENT LIGHT BARS. UNLIKE HALOGEN LIGHTS THAT REQUIRE HEATING A GAS TO A HIGH TEMPERATURE TO ACHIEVE A BURST OF LIGHT, LED’S USE A SEMICONDUCTOR TO CREATE LIGHT WITH ELECTRONS. NO MORE HOT BULBS OR HOT LENSES. AND NO MORE HAVING TO REPLACE FLIMSY BULBS.
THE LONGER LIFESPAN OF LED LIGHT BARS ALONE ARE A GREAT BENEFIT. BUT IN ADDITION, WHEN LEDS FINALLY REACH THE END OF THEIR LIFESPAN THEY BEGIN TO DIM. THEY DO NOT COMPLETELY TURN OFF AND LEAVE THE VEHICLE OPERATOR STRANDED. NOW THE OWNERS AND DRIVERS CAN BE FOREWARNED AND CAN TAKE APPROPRIATE PREVENTIVE ACTION. LOTS OF MONEY WILL BE SAVED ON THE DOWN TIME DRIVERS PREVIOUSLY SPENT STRANDED ON THE ROAD. ALSO THE LIKELIHOOD OF ACCIDENTS WILL DECREASE.
BENEFITS OF LED LIGHT BARS:
• LOW CURRENT DRAW WITH 90% GREATER ENERGY EFFICIENCY OVER REVOLVING HALOGEN OR INCANDESCENT (FILAMENT BURNING) LIGHT BARS. LESS STRAIN ON THE VEHICLES BATTERY.
• BRIGHTER AND MORE INTENSE ILLUMINATION.
• LED BULBS ARE MUCH LESS PRONE TO BREAKAGE VS GLASS BULBS DUE TO HIGH VIBRATION RESISTANCE (A KEY BENEFIT FOR SNOW PLOW OPERATORS AND OFF-ROAD VEHICLES). MOST LED BULBS ARE RATED FOR 50,000 HOURS AND UP.
• OPTION TO USE SEVERAL DIFFERENT FLASH PATTERNS.
• NO MOVING PARTS WHICH EQUALS LESS WEAR AND GREATER LONGEVITY.
