Warning devices for police cars are incredibly important and can include warning lights, sirens, speakers, in-car camera systems and many other accessories. All of the Federal Signal warning devices are state-of-the-art, and for lights, the Signal Vision SLR lightbar is one of the best options that you could consider for your police cars.
Solaris LED Rotator
The Vision SLR (Solaris LED Rotator) from Federal Signal is a revolutionary product because it is programmable, smarter and comes with many new features. It can also come with SpectraLux LED technology with multi-colors, making it even more powerful than before.
The company has made improvements throughout the years since it was first introduced, including lightbars, V-formation, and individual pods. The Solaris LED Rotator version is the newest one available and is considered a premier lightbar. It is meant to provide maximum safety to officers and others when going through intersections.
Light Patterns and Colors
This lightbar offers more total output of light than a typical light, which can be used when going through intersections. It also uses smart pods, or microprocessor-controlled LED lights that are mounted in a v-pattern and rotating reflectors. These lights can be programmed to flash in multiple colors, including white, red, amber and blue. Therefore, you can program individual pods to rotate, flash, hold steady, jog or oscillate, and can program side and middle pods to display different colors.
Programming
Another great feature of the device is that it can be programmed directly from the vehicle. Your laptop or another computerized device can be used to program the lighting, strength of light, colors, angles and anything else required. You can also switch between pre-programmed lighting to be as safe as possible, especially going through an intersection or two-lane road with a lot of traffic.
Control
While older versions required electro-mechanical relays and 12-volt circuits to control the lights, now, almost all of them are controlled serially. FedSig offers this type of network system, which is made up of operating software, multiplex cables and control modules to control the warning system digitally.
Sizes
Police cars aren’t the same size, as you can have cars, Hummers, and many other variations. You can even use vans and larger vehicles. Therefore, lightbars should also come in multiple sizes. The FedSig version comes in three lengths, 60-inch, 53-inch, and 46-inch.
