Why are LED Beacons so Important?
Share
Beacon lights, also known as flashing beacons or strobe lights are visual signalling devices that emit intense flashes of light at predetermined intervals. They are especially useful in serving as visual warnings, promoting awareness and preventing accidents. It is important to understand the various types of beacon lights and parameters to consider when choosing them for specific applications.
Beacon lights are built to withstand tough environmental conditions such as fog, rain, and low-light situations, making them perfect for a wide range of safety applications.
Beacon lights are widely used on emergency vehicles (ambulances, fire trucks, police cars) to alert motorists and pedestrians of their presence. They are also employed on construction vehicles, oversized trucks, and vehicles operating in low-light conditions to improve visibility.
Beacon lights are essential for construction site safety, helping to mark hazards, define work zones, and warn workers of potential dangers. Rotating beacons are commonly used on construction equipment, while magnetic beacons are ideal for temporary hazard situations.
