How To Properly Equip Emergency Vehicles
by RAZVAN JR
Emergency vehicles are important for all of us, no doubt about it. For this particular reason, we all feel like these vehicles should benefit from the latest developments and technologies. One of the most efficient technologies used on more and more emergency vehicles is the LED one. To be more specific, LED lights offer many benefits in comparison to old rudimentary lightning solutions. The most important 3 advantages are:
?They last longer in comparison with other conventional lightning solutions;
?They use less power in comparison with xenon, halogen and strobe lightening;
?Most importantly, the cost less money in comparison with other lightning solutions.
Let��s take every benefit and analyze it for a while. For many years, Police Departments used the old-fashioned xenon and strobe bulbs that lasted for about one year. That is pretty low if you ask me but fortunately with the LED bulbs, the xenon/strobe bulbs are history because these new bulbs have the ability to burn from 50,000 to about 100,000 hours. Constant on you can get anywhere from 5 1/2 years to 11 years turned on from an LED, a lot more than one year, isn��t it?
In terms of power consumption, for a very long period of time, police cars were practically unnoticeable because the amount of emergency lightning wasn��t bright enough or it was just impossible to put more halogen, strobes or xenon lights because they would drain a lot more energy and most likely, kill the battery. Luckily, with the introduction of LED bulbs, power consumption isn��t a problem anymore and more importantly; these bulbs are way more efficient in terms of lightning power in comparison with xenon lights for example.
As far as money spent is concerned, a LED Police Light bulb will over the course of its life cost anywhere from one half to one fifth the price of old xenon, halogen and strobe bulb technology. In addition to the low price, the warranty is very comfortable for the customer: about 1 year for the electronic component and about 5 years for the replacement bulb. These LED bulbs are very durable and can face up any difficult environment and weather conditions, from extremely cold days to very hot summer nights. Respectable manufacturers that offer high quality products, sell sealed units in order to eliminate water damage risks to the electrical parts as well as for the bulbs present inside the units.
Unfortunately, many accidents happen during the night which is why these LED bulbs are a must for police cars, fire vehicles, ambulances and other emergency vehicles. Forget about xenon lights that drain the battery of the vehicle and will last for unfortunately one year, the wisest choice are LED bulbs that are energy efficient and offer a lot more lightning power.
All things considered, the wave of the future consists of these LED lights because they offer important advantages in comparison with the old-fashioned lightning solutions that have been used for many years by all emergency vehicles. It is time for a change, time for LED powered lights.
Summary: This article is about the reason why LED lights should replace all exists lightning solutions used on emergency vehicles.
