If you just buy a tow truck light as you like without careful consideration, chances are that you'll make a wrong choice and waste your time and money.
Choosing the right trailer lights is of great importance for ensuring the safety and visibility during towing operations. As a novice tow truck driver, you need to know how to select suitable lights for tow truck.
This article will explain how to make considerations and choices from three aspects: different functions, weather resistance and portability of led trailer lights.
Generally speaking, trailer lights usually consist of different signal function lights. When choosing trailer lights for tow trucks, we should try our best to choose those with comprehensive functions. The following is an introduction to each function light in the tow truck light.
Turn signal lights and truck brake lights are the most basic and important parts of lights. They must comply with SAE standards to ensure that they can clearly convey the driving intentions of the vehicle to other road users under any circumstances.
High-quality LED turn signal lights respond quickly and can be lit up in an instant, while brake lights need to provide sufficient brightness to warn the vehicles behind to slow down or stop.
Work lights can be used to illuminate the working area around. It will be especially useful when loading and unloading goods or carrying out maintenance.
Some truck lights are also equipped with auxiliary lighting functions, such as strobe mode or flash mode, which can attract more attention in emergency situations and increase safety.
Reverse lights help drivers operate the tow truck more safely in foggy environments and reduce the risk of collisions. Side truck marker lights are often used to mark the width and length of the tow truck. It definitely ensures other vehicles can keep an appropriate distance when driving on narrow roads.
Tow truck lights are often exposed to outdoor environments, so it is crucial to have a high waterproof rating (such as IP67 or higher). This means that the lights can work normally even when immersed in water one meter deep and are completely dustproof.
A good sealing design can protect the internal electronic components from moisture and dust, thus prolonging the service life.
High-quality tow truck lights should be able to operate stably within an extreme temperature range. From cold winters to hot summers, whether below freezing point or in sweltering heat, the lights should maintain a consistent luminous efficiency.
This depends not only on the choice of materials (such as aluminum alloy shells), but also on heat dissipation technology and circuit protection measures.
Portable and compact led tow truck lights usually adopt multiple installation methods, such as magnetic adsorption, pasting or clamping fixation, allowing users to quickly adjust the position of the lights according to their needs. This flexibility not only facilitates the use needs in different scenarios, but also provides more room for vehicle owners to be creative.
To improve the convenience of use, some lights of tow truck are equipped with wireless charging functions or built-in large-capacity batteries, getting rid of the shackles of power cords.
Users only need to place the lights in the designated position to charge them automatically or use them independently for a long time, which is very suitable for outdoor operations and emergency situations.
In conclusion, choosing tow truck lights with these characteristics can not only enhance driving safety but also bring great convenience to daily operations. I hope this article can help you make a clear choice.
