A Beacon Light or also known as Emergency Vehicle Light is a device used for warning and to inform people about a certain circumstance. It helps convey a message to a viewer on how someone would respond to an emergency, or if someone is in need of help or any scenario happening in that place. The most common colors used, among these are red, yellow, blue, green, and white. Particular colors are used depending on what message it gives. In short, beacons are essentially used for public safety and should have around wherever you go.

Of course. The beacon light is regarded as an emergency light which only means that it can be used by any vehicle when an emergency emerges, since trucks are vehicles they can also use the device. And apparently, these lights are used by any kind of vehicle, so long as it serves their purpose to ensure safety, trucks can also use beacon lights but please make sure to detach the beacon light into your car, truck, or any other form of the vehicle before deciding to get back on the road for safety purposes that your beacon light will be in another vehicle’s windshield.

So far, there are 3 classifications of beacon lights in the market that will be very useful according to your needs:

– The first one is the Class 1 (Strongest and Brightest). Compared to the other three categories, these types of beacon lights are classified as the brightest and strongest. They are typically found in major emergency and law enforcement vehicles such as police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and much more related vehicles. These are used as warning lights for most hazardous circumstances.

– Second of which is the Class 2 (Medium Range Lighting). These beacon lights are much brighter than class 3, while class 1 are used for vehicles, these class 2 beacon lights are used to warn traffic, of some potential hazards. In fact, these lights are seen in road construction that can sometimes be solid, rotating, or strobes.

– Lastly, Class 3 (Light Duty Beacons). The very purpose of this class of beacon light is to warn the surrounding. These are the least bright among the three classes.

As far as the market is concerned, there is a beacon light that can be set to steady, flashing, or rotating modes. Thus, steady beacons are those optical signal devices used for signal operation and probably attract the least. Our Compact, Pocket Sized, and Emergency LED Beacon Light (Item No: BT – 2005) for example has steady light power on a feature that you can use for emergency road scenes.

Yes, indeed! Just make sure that there is enough current supply before doing so. There should be a mark on a Beacon Light that states its current consumption. Also, to make this possible, the adapter must be at least 50% more than its amount of current. Please consult an electrician or someone knowledgeable about electricity before plugging or charging in your beacon light since the power supply differs from one country to another.

To our knowledge, the color rules only apply to the lights that were meant to be installed on moving vehicles, whether it is permanently or temporarily installed. This means that there are no current rules that say they are not applicable to roadside lights set down the road during emergency use. A white bright light, on the other hand, should be mindfully used since it can disrupt the sight of other drivers due to its very bright light or is very attention grabbing which can cause road accidents. Also, moving cars are prevented from using beacon lights to avoid any individuals from mimicking an emergency vehicle such as the ambulance. 

The most recognized color when it comes to a dangerous or emergency situation is Red. Whereas the color Amber typically represents a caution signal which can attract a lot more attention, this serves as the goal of the device. Seeing this, other drivers will start to slow down significantly while traversing the road.

Yes, the magnets installed inside the beacon lights are rare earth magnets that strongly stick to your car and also can be easily released after use before hitting again the road. To release the beacon light, you have to look for a tab on the magnetic base that you have to pull on in order to remove it from sticking. BT – 200CH, BT – 2005, BT – 2006CH, and V6 – BT 204CH all have a strong magnet, it remains wherever you place it and effortlessly pops free at the moment when you want to get it. Convenient and easy to do, isn’t it?
