10 Benefits of Switching to LED Warning Beacons
You can find a lot of halogen, xenon & LED warning lighting on the market, halogen is the oldest technology in halogen, xenon, and LED
Transitioning from halogen to modern-day Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology has never been easier. The cutting-edge from 2015 in warning & hazard manufacturing have vastly improved the overall safety, reliability & visibility
Purchasing a high-quality beacon light is a considerable investment. So it’s worth doing some research on what’s available and what will best meet your vehicle performance expectations
Modern Design
The small form of LEDs enables a modern design.
Combining a modern design, a low profile, the latest LED optical technology, and non-evasive designs reduces the chances of products being accidentally hit or broken during use.
Also provides a clean cosmetic look making them the ideal choice for a range of applications and budgets.
Improved Strobe/Rotating Patterns
New LED technology allows the ability to sequence several LED lights together to help create the desired strobe/rotating pattern.
Changing flash patterns is made simply by a keychain device that can be remotely controlled or a convenient built-in flash pattern adjustment by a switch
Multil-voltage 12V/24V
You can see a traditional halogen beacon with 12V or 24V, you have to buy 2 types of voltage to meet the different volt for the device durn use,
but now LEDs with a multi-voltage, means that allow you to cover a broader voltage range saving your money, 1 LED beacon versus 2 halogen beacons to achieve the same result.
Less Radio Interference
If the light with electromagnetic interference(EMI) means the light will not interfere with any video or audio system nearby
Traditional halogen lights use high voltage to generate heat inside a filament to develop light. It will generate more EMI than the lower-voltage switching circuit of an LED light.
Another downside to halogen beacons is that they can be susceptible to failure, especially in hard conditions, for example, off-road, rainstorms & fog
Changing Flash Pattern in a Short Time
LED provides full light output immediately on start-up, so there’s no warming-up needed, but a halogen bulb needs to warm-up time, which means that LED beacons are much better suited for complex flash patterns than Halogen
More Light Output, More Visibility
Compared to more modern equivalents, the halogen light quality will be lower and yellowish in color and only limited light is produced compared to the LED bulb
The unique LED optics account for more uniform light output, performance, and much less wasted light.

No Maintenance, Shock & Vibration Resistant
If the beacon is used very frequently, the advantages of LED technology, such as long design life, no maintenance, and high energy efficiency ensure strongly reduced life cycle costs compared with Xenon or halogen products.
Being a newer technology, LED lights are more expensive than halogen, but the benefits are that more a lifetime (50,000 hours) than halogen (1,000 hours)
LEDs are manufactured using solid-state components that are highly durable and difficult to damage. Resistance to shock and vibration in demanding conditions and a white light output that is closest to natural daylight.
Highest Energy Efficiency
LEDs generate heat less heat than halogen, so more electrical power is actually generating light. And energy consumption for operating an LED beacon is considerably lower than halogen or xenon.
Optimal for vehicles that are frequently used with a beacon switched on. e.g. heavy vehicles, snow clearance vehicles.
Extremely long design life (multiple of halogen)
High-quality components, complex technology, and no movable components, which means LEDs are composed of a few solid components and the solid-state technology extends the life of the product with virtually no replacement parts to stock or replace
LEDs average over 50,000 more hours of use, but halogens 1,000 hours only.
Ultimate Cost Savings in the Life Cycle
The purchase price of LED beacons is clearly higher than that of halogen beacons.
One of the reasons for this is that the technology to obtain a longer design life is clearly more complex, and provides fewer replacement parts, long service life, and less downtime, which means that the life cycle costs turn out to be considerably lower.
