Automotive strobe lights are devices that can quickly reproduce light flashes of various colors and frequencies. As a rule, this device is installed on vehicles of special services to inform other road users that an ambulance, fire truck or police car are driving along the road. Most often, stroboscopes on cars are installed behind a radiator grill. As for the light of the rays, it can be different: white, and yellow, and red. It is also worth noting that this device is used in conjunction with SSU.
Recently, LED strobe lights for cars have gained great popularity. Their installation can significantly decorate the car, make it unique, give it personality and even aggressiveness. In addition, they can be mounted on absolutely any vehicle, whether it is a motorcycle, passenger car, minivan or minibus. Stroboscopes on a car can be the highlight of your car. However, do not forget that in Russia there are such devices that can not be installed on ordinary cars without special permission. These are official flashing lights. In no case should they be purchased, much less mounted on a car. Otherwise, you face a considerable fine for violating traffic rules.
In order for strobe lights on a car to be used legally, they must be registered, namely, obtain permission to install them. By the way, daytime running lights can also be attributed to strobe lights, however, a separate article is provided for them in the legislation. You can install them without any permissions and papers. The only thing to observe is their location in / on the bumper and the angle of inclination.
Stroboscopes act similarly to LED daytime running lights. The only thing is that the latter can not change their color and blink at a certain frequency. And even their functions are the same - attracting the attention of other participants in the movement. Only strobe lights on cars act more as an object of boasting to others than as a necessary need.
To date, in stores you can buy strobe lights on cars of any rainbow color. You can find devices that shine with white-yellow, red-green, white-blue, orange and many other flashes. Since in most cases motorists install them under the radiator grill (so as not to attract excessive attention of the traffic police), the manufacturing plant provides for special fasteners for this mechanism. Also, strobe lights on the car can be installed inside the car. They can be hidden at any time from unnecessary eyes and just as quickly installed.
Cost
The price of these devices is not so big - from 2 to 3.5 thousand rubles. This is even less than the cost of daytime running lights brand "Hella". Perhaps that is why none of the car enthusiasts dare to make a do-it-yourself strobe for cars. Its cost is not so big to spend a huge amount of time on work.
