Fleet personnel must know everything about their vehicles. For this reason, they should understand the technologies that have evolved police car lights to the level that they've reached today. Here are three police car lights that every fleet should know about. Read more about each of them below.
Rotating
These are your standard police lights ranging back into the '20s and '30s. In the past, they've used incandescent bulbs that used a curved mirror to spread the light around.
Next, new technologies have enhanced the light levels by adding up to four bulbs as a sealed-beam lamp that rotates at the same time. Then, today's technology uses LED lights to emulate the rotating motion of police car lights.
Steady Burning
If you've ever watched police scenes in movies and dramas, steady-burning lights appear as floodlights to blind perpetrators or to investigate an ongoing crime scene. Thus, it's unsurprising to find steady-burning lights in the real world as to how they appear in the movies — as floodlights and utility lights for investigations or ongoing crime scene management tools.
Some traffic work departments use steady burning lights to warn motorists far ahead about ongoing roadworks, especially in dark road sections.
Strobe Police Lights
A strobe police light is a police light that has two flashing red lights and white light. The flashing red lights are called strobes, and the white light is called a "siren." The strobe police light is used to make it easier for the police to see you, as well as serve as a warning to other drivers of your presence.
