Once the strobe light was the king of the illumination

The strobe light was introduced in 1931 and by the 1960's it has been introduced to the club scene. In some researches, the strobe light has been said to be connected to epilepsy attacks. The factories creating these lights only use standard 10-12 flashes every second. In the very essential world of safety and emergency, the strobe light is being used for emergency and construction vehicles. They come in various forms and they have different kinds of colors depending on the needs of the vehicle and the purpose of using them. They can be used as beacons. Warning lights and it is also available in a light bar. In many party and clubbing businesses, they offer strobe light as a lighting option for a more fun and really amazing party.
Incandescent and neon indicator lamps have been replaced by strobe light. Even though it is a bit expensive it is worth the price as there is no need to change these emergency lighting or warning devices year after year. Best quality ensures longer duration of the device. The strobe light can be mounted on top of the vehicles as warning devices to draw attention from the other vehicle users in case of an emergency.

The strobe light can be in round, oval or rectangular shapes. These lights can be mounted on any type of an emergency vehicle be it police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, snow plows, EMS, highway construction vehicles and so on. The amber, blue and red lights provide greater visibility from a long distance. Strobe light bars consist of led strobe beacon lights. These are enclosed with a clear lens case that is made out of polycarbonate to protect the beacon lights. Consisting of two strobe beacons the entire mini light bar is seated on a magnetic base. Both the beacon lights can be of the same color or a different color combination can be used.
However, some people are allergic to this high intensity flashing of light. To prevent allergic reactions there are limitations imposed on the number of flashes per second. In Britain it is recommended to use a flash rate of less than 5 flashes a second. Strobe light used as decorations on vehicles too. Like in air craft they use very low flash rates and are not dangerous though they emit a powerful beam. Since the duration is also short there is no harm caused by them. Normally in decorative purposes they are used in set with particular patterns of blinking.
