The next time you are out on the street, just take a look at any emergency vehicles you come across and take note of the lighting units and the function they perform. Simple lighting on such vehicles is really keeping us safe on the streets.

Lights have the power to attract attention. Different types of lights such as halogen, strobe and LED are used for various purposes. These types of lights are used indoors as well as outdoors. A dim light is equivalent to not using one as it has no effective and the very purpose of using such lights in pointless.

Sound and light travel fast and the combination of both simplify tasks on time. Combining usage of a strobe light bar with siren in vehicles such as police cars and ambulances helps in sending the warning message on time. The sound of the siren and visibility of the warning devices, from a long distance alerts the other vehicle users on time, giving them ample time to make way for the speeding emergency vehicle to pass by without any collision.
