The LED Strobe light - iconic yet still highly effective as a warning

Strobe lights have been in use on emergency vehicles since the 1930's and anything that has been in such constant use has to be because of how effective it is. There isn't much else that could claim such longevity and in the main emergency vehicles change dramatically over the years. One of the reasons the LED strobe light is so popular is its relative simplicity coupled with highly effective warning and light emitting qualities. The LED strobe light can be seen at long distances and it therefore provides a good advance warning of either a stationary vehicle or a vehicle that is speeding towards a priority 1 call.

Any kind of advance warning we can get is hugely important, advance warnings of anything that puts us in the direct line of danger will save lives. A single rotating LED strobe light is one of the most recognized lights on an emergency vehicle, and we do associate the strobe light with emergencies. LED strobe light units will also be seen on construction vehicles and in municipal settings where large vehicles are, even in those settings the strobe is a visible warning. The strobe light is an essential part of any hazard or danger warning system, and when used with a siren or other sound is highly effective.

The LED strobe can be a single beacon type light or it can be incorporated into a lightbar. Both type of strobe is highly visible and that is exactly what emergency vehicles need. An emergency vehicle that can't be easily seen is a vehicle that is in danger of being involved in a collision or accident. Some of the LED strobe light units are incorporated into a bank of strobes in a lightbar and you really can't get a more 'in your face' warning sign when they are all switched on. Strobe lights can be mounted internally and externally on vehicles to give the best all round lighting effect.

Modern LED strobe light units come in a variety of different shapes, sizes and colors. This is what makes strobe lights so versatile and useful. There are some LED strobe light units that have a spit lens and this gives the option of dual color in a single unit. When you see a slowly rotating strobe light there is only one thing it conveys and that is the sense of emergency. Strobe light is high intensity, the single beacon strobes can be seen round the full 360-degree angle and they can have various different flash patterns. This is certainly why the strobe continues to be one of the most popular types of emergency light.

The LED strobe light kits can be fitted permanently onto a vehicle or with temporary fixings. Some healthcare professionals such as Doctors and Nurses will have a strobe that will attach magnetically or with suction cups. This means anyone needing the warning emergency strobe can have it but it doesn't have to be a permanent feature on his or her private vehicle. LED strobe lights are here to stay, and the new generation of LEDs is advanced technologically and in their light output. The LED strobe light is here to stay and with very good reason. There is a saying in some places that says 'If it isn't broke, don't fix it' and that could have been written for the strobe light.

Light heavyweight tournament round 1. Who are the winners?

Gene Tunney vs Bob Fitzsimmons
Ezzard Charles vs John Henry Lewis
Archie Moore vs Billy Conn
Bob Foster vs Michael Spinks

Several of these fighters are more well known as heavyweights of course but all also fought as light heavys for some time. Thanks for the participation.
I'm not including active fighters such as Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones etc. only fighters who's careers are over.

genne tunney vs bob fitzsimmons: tough fight, this would be a gift to boxing afecionadoes, tunney would display his best attributes in this fight (counter punching and mobilty) and would earn a decision (probably split) after a good fight.

ezzard charles vs johnherny lewis: charles would win this fight. At light heavy charles was a beast, extremely hard hitting and able to absorb a lot more punishement he would defeat john herny lewis after an interesting fight possibly by knock out.

archie moore vs billy conn: billy conn was a great boxer but he would not have been able to withstand moore's power and strenght at light heavy weight. Moore by UD or TKO.

bob foster vs michael spinks: tough fight, spinks was a tough opponent at light heavyweight, he had power and speed and was quite crafty, foster is considered to be one of the greatest if not the greatest light heavy of all time and he had all the tools needed to earn a strong decision against spinks.
