Emergency Vehicle Lighting

LUXEON® Value


LUXEON® LEDs are widely used in emergency vehicle lighting (police, fire, ambulance and tow & recovery), and in warning vehicle lighting (utility, construction, security and maintenance), providing a strong value proposition:

Visibility

Small directed light sources

  • Less wasted light (reflectors can reduce light output by as much as 50%)
  • More light where needed (avoid light distraction to other vehicles)

Full range of colors
  • No color filters (filters can reduce light output by as much as 80%)

Flexibility

Low profile form factor

  • Sleek and stealth designs (never before possible form factors and places)
  • LUXEON® LEDs show no color until they are lit. Law enforcement vehicles can remain unnoticed when needed



Efficiency

1/5th of the power consumption compared to traditional light sources

  • Light bars can be powered by the vehicle battery alone (the engine can be turned off)
  • Significant reduction in alternator and battery replacement
  • Low profile LUXEON®-based light bars and warning beacons are more aerodynamic and therefore more fuel efficient



Reliability

70% of the original light output after 50,000 hours

  • Can be on continually for 6 years!
Rugged solid-state light source
  • LUXEON® LEDs contain no filament, no gases and no moving parts. They are resilient to shock and vibration experienced in vehicles
Operating temperature range down to -40ºC
  • Will start in severe environments
