Emergency and Work Lighting Installation

Emergency and work lighting installation fits light bars, beacons, strobes, scene lighting, and directional arrows to service, utility, and municipal vehicles, with wiring, switching, and circuit protection sized for continuous duty.

Wiring done properly

Emergency lighting runs for extended periods with the vehicle stationary. That is a continuous load on the electrical system and it needs cable sized for the run, dedicated circuit protection, and a switching arrangement the operator can use without looking.

Poorly installed lighting is the most common cause of parasitic drain complaints on service vehicles, and it is entirely avoidable.

FAQ

Emergency and Work Lighting Installation questions

Will emergency lighting drain the battery?
It can, on a vehicle that idles rarely and runs lights for long periods. We assess the duty cycle and can fit an auxiliary battery if the load justifies it.
Can you install a full municipal package?
Yes, including light bar, rear directional, scene lighting, and switching.
Do you handle the switch panel layout?
Yes, and layout matters. A driver should be able to find the right switch without taking their eyes off the road.
