Hideaway Strobe Lights

Hideaway strobe lights do exactly what their name says. These lights are totally out of sight until you turn them on, and are usually undetectable in tail lights or headlights. When most other types of emergency lights promote the status of the vehicle they are installed on even if they're off, hideaway strobe lights allow their owners to switch between personal and emergency modes with a click on a button. They are the perfect solution for fire personnel and volunteer police, giving them the ability to turn their private vehicles into volunteer ones in no time flat.

Hideaway strobe lights must be super compact to fit in out-of-the-way places like headlights or tail lights, which is why they always come in compact sizes. At the same time hideaway lights should be ultra-bright to serve their main purpose, which is to warn people and other motorists of emergency. For that reason, hideaway strobe lights are usually packed with high-power LED or HID bulbs. Both of them provide an increased light output to make your vehicle stand out from the crowd, regardless of whether it is day or night, or if the weather conditions are far from perfect.

While some hideaway strobe lights come with HID bulbs, the majority of them rely on LEDs to emit light. Using light-emitting diodes provides several benefits over high-intensity bulbs. Unlike HID bulbs that produce a lot of heat when in operation, LEDs convert almost 100% of energy into light, which automatically makes them extremely safe for use and allows the user to install them virtually anywhere in a vehicle. That's why mounting locations for LED hideaway strobe lights are not limited to headlights and taillights only. They can be installed in fog lights, reverse lights and even can be surface mounted with a mounting flange. Nine out of ten LED hideaway strobe lights are waterproof, which makes it possible to put them through the rigors of exterior use.

Hideaway strobe lights are one of the most versatile types of emergency and warning lights. That is why they are widely used by not only emergency services, but also numerous volunteers in their private vehicles. Usually equipped with LEDs, hideaway strobe lights are very energy efficient, which allows for using them as an additional source of emergency lighting without running the risk of discharging the battery even if the engine is off. Most hideaway strobe lights are also easy to synchronize with other lights of a vehicle, so they can work in unison with your full-size light bar or visor emergency lights. Hideaway strobe lights can be spliced with your other emergency and warning lights or be operated individually using an additional on/off switch.
