How Visor Lights Produce Powerful Impact Despite the Small Size by Gautam

The visor lights available today are small in size but produce powerful beams of light. These lights are built using the LED technology that makes the energy efficient, affordable and reliable as well.

Visor lights are compact and usually ideal for unmarked vehicles involved in covert operations. Considering their small size, it is easy to dismiss them as not so impactful. However, there are quite a few advanced features which make these effective enough to provide a powerful secondary warning signal. These lights are lightweight giving quite a few options as far as their mounting is concerned. More importantly, they can be particularly customized for Tahoe, Silverado, Impala and other vehicles to enhance their effectiveness even further. These lights make use of LED mirror beams which particularly enhance the quality of the light, making sure it travels farther and wider, without being scattered.

With a length of 6 - 7 inches and width and height less than 3 inches, these lights are portable and can be mounted with Velcro straps or suction cups without the need for drilling any holes through the surface of the vehicle. The Visor lights come with specially customized molded housings. These fit the existing mirror caps of the vehicle perfectly. The emergency lights for the visor usually have a very low current draw of less than 2 Amperes to go along with a low voltage requirement of around 12 - 24V DC.

In spite of these specifications, Visor lights usually have security against reverse polarity and short circuiting issues. Some technologically advanced lights even have special monitoring systems to detect voltage spikes to make sure that there are no accidents. The light kits also include loop pads and adhesive hooks to mount the lights on both flat and curved surfaces with equal ease, if suction cups are not preferred.

One of the most impressive features of Visor lights is the built in flash patterns. Some of these lights have two modules, each with a different color of LEDs. Most common pairs of LED colors are blue and red, blue and amber and amber and green. The flash patterns include simple ones like single and double flash as well as high output ones like quad bursts. The compactness of these lights is further enhanced by the fact that no external flasher is required, relying instead on solid state electronics. A flashback shroud is usually in place to make sure that the flashing doesn't affect those in the vehicle.

Dual density Visor lights usually have about 8 - 12 LEDs which are rated with wattage of 1 or 2 Watts and have a lifetime of about 50,000 hours. Quality visor mount lights are SAE certified, although one should double check for imitations. The lights also come with encapsulation of epoxy coating which provides moisture and corrosion resistance to the equipment. Besides, the encapsulation also protects the equipment from excessive vibration which can be expected from high alert, emergency vehicles. Fixed mirror, Dodge Charger and Ford Crown Victoria, models can also benefit from special customization. Clear and optical color lenses are both available to ensure that the lights offer wide angle as well as narrow 10 degree, light beams. Optional bail brackets are also mounted on some kits.
