Important Dash Lights
Dash lights are one of the most effective methods for first responders to alert the public to their presence. These versatile light solutions produce brilliant, highly-visible light for a variety of applications, including providing illumination for police officers at night, serving as an emergency warning when flashing, and alerting traffic to the presence of an emergency vehicle. Dash lights are an especially important component for unmarked police cars, since they can sometimes provide the only identification that these vehicles are associated with public safety agencies and operated by first responders. Depending on the use for which dash lights are intended, they can be purchased in traditional bright white as well as a wide range of colors.
In many cases dash lights are installed permanently into the vehicle; this is the most convenient method for using these lights. Most dash lights include a floodlight function to provide additional illumination at crime scenes and allow first responders to see more clearly in darkened areas. Dash lights are available in a wide range of configurations including the classic flashing red-and-blue lights so familiar to motorists, take-down lights that offer superior visibility for first responders, and even high-efficiency LED lightbars that can be attached and removed for even more flexibility and discreet use. When not in use, removable dash lights can be stowed safely under the front seats or kept in the trunk.
LED dash lights are especially versatile, since they can be used anywhere in the car without creating excess heat. Since they are more energy efficient than other types of dash lights, LED lights can also run on the car battery without being hard-wired into the electrical system; their durability and long bulb life make them a favorite among police departments across the country. Extreme Tactical Dynamics carries both traditional and LED dash lights with and without takedown lights, making it the one-stop shopping resource for first responders and police departments in the United States.
