Things To Note When Purchasing A Light Bar For Sale

When you are purchasing a light bar for sale, there are plenty of things that you need to take note of. There are a lot of options in the market when you want to purchase a light bar. Buying it on sale will let you make good savings especially when you are purchasing more than one light bar either for emergency lighting or for decorative lighting. However, when you are purchasing light bars, it is important not to compromise on the quality of the light bars. This is because, even if you get very high discounts on the light bars, there wouldnt be much benefit if the lights arent reliable and go out in the middle of an emergency or crisis situation. Therefore, you need to ask a few questions when you are planning to purchase light bars for sale either from the manufacturer or from a retailer.

The first thing you need to ask before purchasing a light bar for sale is whether the light bars use light emitting diodes. Picking light bars that use LEDs is always a good option considering that LEDs are highly energy efficient and moreover they also have a very long life. In fact, some LEDs can last as long as 100,000 hours which is far more than what you could expect from any other type of lighting whether it is halogen, xenon or incandescent lights. You might also get an idea about the energy consumption of the light by looking at the number of LEDs used in the array and the type of LEDs used. There are LEDs with wattage ranging from 1W to 30W although 4 -5 W LEDs are most commonly used. Similarly, there are 3mm, 5mm, 7mm and 10mm LEDs that are wired together for emergency lighting.

When you purchase a light bar for sale, you should also enquire about mounting options that are available with the light bar. Different manufacturers provide different types of mounting options. For example, you have stainless steel straps that provide excellent reliability. Some light bars come with magnetic mounting options while some also use screws and bolt installation. You can also ask for swivel bracket and suction cup mounting. When you are purchasing light bars you should look for flexibility in mounting as you may need to mount the light bar at various positions and various angles depending upon where and how you need the lighting.

While purchasing a light bar for sale you also need to pay attention to the kit that you are getting. Generally you get a 12V DC power supply, 10 15 feet power cable and interconnect harness along with the mounting kit. You will also get a cigarette plug adapter and switch. There should be inbuilt flash patterns in the light bar which will come handy both for decorations as well as for emergencies. Good light bars usually have a user friendly interface for switching between different flash patterns if required. Lastly, you should also look for the kind of warranty available on the light bar.
