According to the company, two of the most crucial attributes of a good police lightbar are visibility and brightness.

The device also boasts improved circuitry and an improved lens design, and is available in several different lengths, from 23 to 94in, and can be easily mounted to many different types of vehicle.

    In the blink of slowing eye
    The world’s ageing population requires more attention to be paid to the needs of older, and sometimes not that old, drivers – particularly when it comes to lighting. For instance the minimum amount of light a person needs to see doubles every decade after they are 25, so a 75-year old may need 32 times the illumination level as somebody a third of their age.
