Slim, dash mounted warning lights provide excellent emergency lighting options and have the accessories to be mounted at several different positions on an emergency vehicle, especially when there are space constraints. The emergency light dash fixtures are compact units cased in rugged, high impact and heavy duty resistant housings of ABS, composite nylon or anodized aluminum. These housings are not only resistant to excessive vibration, but also to corrosion and moisture. The dash lights make use of high performance, super bright Generation III LEDs in single, double or sometimes even three different colors for maximum effect. The dash lights utilize total internal reflection mechanism for enhancing the quality of the lighting.

Emergency light dash equipment makes use of clear, polycarbonate lenses to widen the beam angle in spite of the smaller size of the lighting panel. The wider beams provide greater coverage especially at intersection angles. Moreover, the clear lenses with their inner beams facilitate concealed installation for unmarked vehicles too. The dash lights can be easily mounted in the corners ...
... and offer a better option than center mounted dash and visor lights which don’t go down well with side air bag deployments during accidents. In spite of their small size, with a height of 2 inches and length and width of around 6 inches, the dash lights provide powerful warning lights, which can be even more effective with 15 built in flash patterns.

A very useful aspect of emergency light dash equipment is their ability to be synchronized with similar dash light units. Special sync interconnectors can actually help in creating a powerful warning signal that can be perceived from long range, when several dash lights are flashing in distinct patterns in the same phase. Special waterproof, shielded cables help in completing the circuitry with efficiency and ease. The dash mounted LED emergency lights can flash with built in user selectable patterns without any real need of external flasher device. The number of LEDs varies in these dash lights from as low as 4 to sometimes over a dozen. The size of the LEDs too is different with some dash lights using more luminous 10W LEDs.

The emergency light dash equipment can be mounted using suction cups either in the front or in the rear deck or the law enforcement vehicle. With low currents and simple power supply requirement, the dash lights provide an excellent secondary line of warning with solid as well as split color combinations in various safety and emergency colors like red, amber, blue and green. The equipment also includes On/Off cigar plug switch, pattern selection push button switch and 10-foot power cords. Some dash lights have polycarbonate flashback hoods that shield the driver from the distracting flashes. Some bigger dash mounted lights might even comprise of multiple LED modules, with each module functioning with around 6 – 8 LEDs. Split color segment dash lights with capability to flash alternately or sequentially are compact and also have special LED backlit panels to indicate various details like the flash patterns being used.
