Choosing the Best LED Strobe Warning Lights for Your Tow Truck

There are no arguments that tow truck drivers have the highest fatality rates in the private sector. We often hear about severe injuries because of not following the Move Over Laws.

The U.S Bureau of Statistics stated that from 2008 to 2018, the towing industry went through 351 fatalities and 10,400 injuries. It shows that two trucks have one of the most dangerous jobs because of the highest fatality rates.

Two trucks are known as emergency response trucks, which means they are under the Move Over Law. Yet, there is still a need to take proper precautions where motorists lack.

To help motorists take these precautions, there are different LED warning lights in the market that can be installed on tow trucks.

But how to find the best-LED warning lights? Here are all the factors you need to consider:

Budget

The first thing you need to consider is your budget. You don’t want to spend too much money on something that is not going to be very effective.

There are a lot of different types of LED warning lights on the market, and each one has its own price tag.

For example, if you don’t want to spend much and don’t want to compromise on brightness, you can explore our W03 & W04 product range.

State Laws

The lights you choose must also comply with state laws. Depending on your state, there are different regulations on the use of warning lights on tow trucks.

Some states allow the use of red and white lights, while some only allow blue and amber.

It is important to check the state laws before making a purchase to ensure you are not breaking any laws.

Tow Truck Type

The type of tow truck you have will also affect the type of LED warning lights you need to buy. There are two types of tow trucks- flatbed and wheel-lift. Flatbed tow trucks have a bed that can be lowered to the ground to load the vehicle.

These trucks are used to transport vehicles that cannot be driven. For these types of tow trucks, you will need a light that can be mounted on the bed of the truck.

On the other hand, wheel-lift tow trucks have a metal yoke attached to the vehicle’s front or back wheels. These trucks are used to tow vehicles that can be driven but are not able to move under their own power.

If you have this type of tow truck, you will need a light that can be mounted on the truck’s bumper or roof.

So, these are the main factors you need to consider before purchasing LED warning lights. Now, let’s take a look at some of the best-LED warning lights that we offer!

LED Light Bars

If you want to enjoy 360-degree lighting, our LED light bars are the way to go. These lights can be mounted on the roof or bumper of your tow truck and will provide you with a wide range of lighting.

These light bars are available in different lengths, and you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

For example, here we have the GEOMAX Tow Light Bar that fits different types of trucks and auto-recovery vehicles. The light has different flash patterns and works on 4-watt LEDs.

Stick Lights & Rocker Panels

These are the two other types of LED warning lights that we offer. Stick lights are thin and long, making them perfect for mounting on different areas of the tow truck. You can even mount them on the side of the truck to get more visibility.

Rocker panels are similar to stick lights but are a bit wider. They are perfect for mounting on the side of the tow truck as well.

If you are interested in these lights, be sure to check our Stick Lights as they come in multiple sizes.

Apart from these, we have a collection of rocker panels for those who are after warning LED lights that offer broadside visibility.
