Mini light bars have a low profile and are compact enough to be used during emergencies with temporary mounting options. These light bars are small in size but their ruggedness is impressive making them heavy duty resistant as well as weather resistant. Good quality mini bars provide high performance, thanks to 100,000 hour rated LEDs which are extremely reliable during tough conditions. The mini bars come with a rugged and stable polycarbonate base. Clear lenses sealed to the base are used to further enhance the effectiveness of the lighting. The mini bars also come with an additional polycarbonate dome. These domes come with smooth exteriors preventing dust from accumulating on the equipment.
High performance mini light bars are Class 1, California Title XIII and SAE certified and come with circuits that are extremely secure and well-protected from high voltage and short circuiting issues. Permanent mounting options including clamps, swivel brackets and 6-inch pigtails are provided as part of the kit along with mounting clips and screws. The current in the circuit hardly ever crosses 2 Amperes which makes it reasonably safe for using in vehicles and in all kinds of weather conditions. The number of warning modules varies based on the size of the mini bars. There are special LED modules arranged in a 360 degree layout. The number of flash patterns built into the mini bars varies based on the cost and the technology involved. You could find anywhere between 12 to 25 built-in flash sequences in mini bars.

You could choose between permanent and magnetic mounting options depending upon how you would use the mini light bars. There are cigar plug adapters for turning the power on and off easily. Moreover, you will get push button switches for pattern selection. The mini bars come with a clear housing that doesn't develop spots or yellowing and also has UV inhibitor properties. Some mini bars have additional memory that can provide information about the last used flash pattern for reference. Mini bars with ABS housings or bases are also common. This is because of the stability and sturdiness provided by ABS. You can also have mini bars with driver side and passenger side cables. Moulded black polycarbonate is another material used for the chassis of mini bars.
There are mini light bars with dimensions as small as 17 inches in length, 7 inches in width and 3 inches in height. The mini bars are road tested for special conditions so that you can rely on the bars during emergencies. Linear LED modules with dual coloured segments are also quite popular owing to the additional variety in terms of the flashing patterns. Mini bars are also moisture, vibration and corrosion resistant which makes them ideal in all kinds of environmental conditions. The mini bars provide energy efficiency without compromising on the luminosity at any stage. The flashes further intensify the lighting optimising the output for maximum visibility. The mini bars are equally useful in utility vehicles, security vehicles, construction vehicles and volunteer vehicles.
