Amber LED Lightbar

.

What sizes of Amber LED Lightbar are available in the DND Telecom webshop?

When installing a yellow LED lightbar, one of the important considerations in the selection is the roof width of the vehicle and the features you want to display. Yellow LED lightbars are usually available from most manufacturers in sizes between 60-180 cm. There are also mini amber LED lightbars, which are usually 30-40 cm in length, available in both magnetic and fixed screw-on versions. Yellow lights larger than 40 cm are recommended to be mounted with a fixed mount, as they can be accident-prone due to increased weight and air resistance.

What light sources do modern Amber LED Lightbar have?

The halogen and xenon light sources used in the past have now been completely replaced by LED technology, which offers a long service life thanks to its lower energy consumption. In most cases, the yellow beacon is now of advanced LED module design, so its configuration can be varied according to the user's needs. For amber beacons in Europe, the number of modules is not specifically defined, but it is important that the flashing pattern of more than two modules should already be synchronised.

What material are Amber Lightbar made of?

The bore of the LED lightbars is made of polycarbonate, which has a high hardness and is also UV resistant. The base of amber LED lightbars, on the other hand, is mostly made of aluminium. Both materials are lightweight, which is also important to ensure that the LED lightbar does not put too much strain on the overall weight of the vehicle carrying the warning sign. Because cars with amber lights are on the road in all weather conditions, the dome and base will certainly retain their shape and colour between -40 and +60 degrees Celsius, and will also withstand more severe external stresses.

What is the life expectancy of Amber Lightbar?

The amber LED lightbars available in the DND Telecom webshop combine modern design with a wide range of features and high performance LED lighting technology. These yellow warning signs are IP55 dust and water resistant. These types of LED lightbars are made of quality materials that retain their shape and colour over time. The minimal height not only ensures low air resistance and reduced noise levels, but this detail also ensures that these beacons have a long life expectancy. Both their UV resistance and their perfect assembly ensure that SounfOff, Hella, Strobos and Sirena brand LED lightbars will operate trouble-free for many years.

How are Amber LED Lightbar installed?

Amber LED lightbars must be installed on the roofs of vehicles. Its location depends on the specific type of vehicle. You can install a yellow warning sign with a magnet, but there are also a number of fixed versions available. If such a light bridge is chosen, the kit includes the necessary rubber-bonded screw fixing and the necessary cables. Care must also be taken to ensure that the amber indicators are properly visible from all sides of the vehicle and that the light bridge is positioned at the highest point of the vehicle. No special tools are required for installation. However, fitting them will require manual dexterity, so we have provided installation instructions to help you get the job done.

What features do Amber LED Lightbar have?

The flashing pattern of yellow LED lightbars is usually pre-programmed, so that the user or the installer of the LED lightbar can choose the right one based on the regulations in the country. The LED lightbars available in the DND Telecom webshop have 4 or 6 different flashing patterns. When assembled, the number of modules depends on the size of the LED lightbar and the lighting effect required by the application. Control of the LED lightbar, i.e. switching it on and off and changing the type and mode of flashing, is done from a separate switch or by means of a switch module.

Ability to use the Amber Lightbar

The range of persons entitled to use a yellow warning light is very wide because of the specific tasks involved. The legislation basically distinguishes between two groups. Those who do not need an official permit to fit it and those who may be granted an official permit if the purpose of the vehicle operation justifies it. Examples of such users are:

• road builders and waste management companies carrying out road or public works construction, cleaning, maintenance (repair), collection of municipal/municipal waste, separate collection of waste
• public maintenance and wheel-clamping vehicles, i.e. vehicles regularly used for the official removal of vehicles or the application of wheel clamps
• property protection and vigilante service, which means a vehicle used for the transport of money and valuables in the context of the protection of persons and property or operated by a financial services organisation, or a vehicle used for this purpose in the performance of a vigilante service in public areas
• a vehicle transporting or accompanying radioactive material
• vehicles transporting materials on the road section concerned during road construction
• vehicles exceeding the permitted length or width (oversize)
• a vehicle accompanying an oversized vehicle
• a vehicle regularly towing a vehicle which has broken down, if the vehicle is actually towing the vehicle
• a vehicle carrying out radio control, radio detection, radio monitoring, disturbance investigation and measurement service activities

In some cases, it is not necessary to apply for a special official authorisation to use a amber LED lightbar, but you must comply with the conditions described in the legislation. The scope of those who may use yellow LED lightbars is regulated by IRM Decree 12/2007 (13.III.).
