If you’re interested in upgrading or kitting out emergency lights for your vehicle, it’s best to know that there are plenty of choices at our company.

There are various options in different sizes and shapes, but in this article, let’s talk about famous choices of full-size LED light bars and minibars.

Both light bars have the same purpose. However, they come in two different packages and sizes. You will see that both lights have the same features, but they can be used in different cases.

The reason why you’re purchasing these light bars will ultimately affect your final decision.

LED Mini Light Bars

As they are pretty small in size, the price is relatively low, too. However, this doesn’t mean you have to give up on other important features just for the portability feature.

You will see that they don’t hold much power like other lights because they don’t have the capacity to power so many LEDs. This is one of the reasons why there’s no police car light bar.

One of the best examples is the comparison between the Mini LED light bar NV-W12 and the Geomax full-size LED light.

As the name says, there is a solid difference between the LED lights in the light bar, which impacts the range and brightness. If you’re searching for a bright, powerful light, then you should go for a full-size LED bar. It should also have permanent mounts.

If power isn’t your main factor, what should you do? What if you’re interested in portability and better features? If that’s the case, you can opt for mini LED light bars.

You’ll find this extremely beneficial if your emergency vehicle is often used for personal needs as well.

When comparing the emergency vehicle lights of mini lightbar W12 and Geomax, they have the same features, including waterproofing and strobe light function. Therefore, you’re not losing anything much in terms of cool features.

Anyway, mini lightbar W12 comes with two magnets. These magnets secure the light to the vehicle’s roof. Geomax, on the other, utilizes a roof mounting system.

As the system is permanent, it’s not possible to remove it without a tool kit. If you use your vehicle for emergency needs, then this might not be the best choice for you.

The Mini Lightbar W12 is easy to manage as you can remove it without a tool kit, so don’t worry when you use the vehicle for civilian requirements.

In case you are called for services, you can quickly fix the light on the roof without any difficulty. It’ll perfectly fit into the glove box. This is one of the main reasons and a desirable feature of mini light bars.

It’s obvious why most volunteers and part-time emergency service operators prefer mini light bars over large permanent ones.

The price of the mini light bar is not less than a full-size one. Regardless of this, you can still buy expensive mini light bars with features similar to the larger ones. There are some that boast more than 2 dozen LEDs.

We have a large collection of LED mini light bars that offer portability features. These lights don’t compromise on the power as well. If you’re looking for mini light bars that can be removed when you don’t need them, feel free to check out our collection.

LED Full-Size Light Bars

Now that we have discussed mini light bars, let’s look at full-size LED light bars. Some of the main examples are Geomax. Tow trucks and police vehicles can invest in these lights as these are ideal for such vehicles.

They have a high count of LEDs, so they are extremely bright. As they are large in size, you can’t remove them like mini light bars.

They are permanently fixed to your emergency vehicle’s roof. In other words, they are not removable. Therefore, if you use your vehicle for other than emergency purposes, then these lights might not be the best choice for you.

This is why large LED light bars are best suited for professionals who can use them always.

For example, if you’re using a vehicle to be seen as a team member of an emergency service or police force, these lights will come in handy.

These lights will provide extra power. You will stand out in the group, and everyone will notice you instantly.

These lights are powerful, so when compared to mini LED light bars, these can cover a large area. You will not have to deal with blind spots. You won’t miss seeing anything important.

Large lights are ideal if you have a huge vehicle and you want to be seen in a traffic area. It’s best to have these lights installed if you travel a lot at night for emergency cases.

You will not have enough visibility at night. Therefore, these lights will come in handy. You can also get the best use of them in adverse weather.

They are waterproof, just like their mini counterparts. You don’t have to think about its safety after installing them on your vehicle’s roof. 

In other words, large-sized LED light bars aren’t for those who do part-time emergency services. They are not for undercover vehicles.

Rather, these lights are targeted at people with their own vehicles, which are used mainly for emergency requirements. Or they are ideal for services that need strobe light bars’ attention.

You can remove them after installing, but don’t you think it’s a waste of time to install and remove them when not in use? So rather you can select the light as per your requirement. 

Conclusion

Overall, what we want you to understand when selecting light bars is your requirement. Once you have a clear idea of what you want, you will be able to make the right choice.

Are you looking for flexible light bars with a magnetic mounting system? Are you going to remove the installed LED bar every now and then?

Or do you prefer to keep them permanently fixed to the vehicle? Answers to these questions will provide you with a primary understanding to short-list your choices.

After you sort them, you can then move to the secondary consideration. You have to think about the level of brightness you need. When the magnetic options are small you will not get enough brightness as other choices

But that doesn’t mean you won’t get enough brightness from mini-magnetic versions. Our mini versions have the capacity to accommodate over 30 LEDs while providing the magnetic mounting option.

So it’s generally a win-win for you. Check out our collection to find out what we’ve got in store for you.
