A mini light bar is quite compact and usually cost under $300. It comes good not just for smaller cop vehicles but also for the bigger ones especially when budget is one of your concerns. These mini light bars make sure that you have a powerful emergency warning signal that can be relied upon. The main challenge with a mini bar is its smaller size which could mean lesser array of features and a less effective warning signal. However, what mini bars miss in terms of number LED elements, they more than make up with good technology and optical enhancements.

One of the more impressive features in a mini light bar is the use of advanced modern technology such as ROC LED technology, total internal reflection technology and light house optics, which help you make the most of the lighting. The technology helps you in maximising the lighting out from the LED elements, sometimes providing good control over the various light beam parameters and extending the beam far and wide. The use of optic spreading filters for example, helps in expanding the beam on either direction, horizontally and vertically. There are slide ...

A mini light bar can also provide 360-degree light distribution, uniformly in all directions. You can pick a bar that comes with a pair of LED light strobes with a diamond mirror installed in between them. In other cases, there are LED elements which are beautifully placed at the parabolic centre of chrome or aluminium deflectors. This ensures that the light emanation from the LED elements is collected and then deflected in an outwardly direction. There are both coloured as well as white LEDs of different sizes used in mini bars. Some mini bars have a group of 5mm LEDs that are used to provide the lighting. The 1, 2 or 5 Watt LEDs are used in modules of 4 or 8. Gen III LEDs used in such small modules provide bright and effective lighting without taking too much space. Coloured lenses can provide the opportunity to flash a multi-coloured beam that can grab the attention with greater effectiveness.

A mini light bar with dual coloured LEDs, lenses or filters with flash patterns incorporated in without the need for an external flasher, can be greatly efficient in sending across a powerful warning signal. The mini bar which is smaller in size can be mounted with ease with the help of swivel brackets or stainless steel straps. It is possible to synchronize the flash patterns of the mini bar with another dash light or deck light bar for a more effective warning signal. There are light bars which come without any dark spots or shadows. Some mini bars come with as many as 20 flash patterns, along with default patterns that can be easily operated, through pattern selection push button switches.
