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