Best Commercial Strobe Lights Buying Guide
Before choosing the best commercial strobe light you should consider following options:
1. Purpose: First and foremost, you need to determine the purpose for which you are buying the strobe light. If you want to use it for security purposes, then you need to buy a bright strobe light with a high flash rate.
On the other hand, if you want to use it for job site illumination, then you need to buy a strobe light with a lower flash rate.
2. Brightness: You should always buy a strobe light that is bright enough to suit your needs. The first thing that you should do is to estimate the distance between the light source and the target area.
This will help you calculate the number of lumens that you need. You can do this by multiplying the distance by 2.5.
3. Number of flashes per minute: If you want to convey a stronger message, then you need a higher number of flashes per minute.
The standard is around ten flashes per minute. However, if you want to convey a mild message, then you can opt for a lower number of flashes per minute.
4. Battery Life: If you want a strobe light that can last for a long time, then you need to buy one that has superior battery life.
This is measured in hours and can range from 6 to 48 hours. The higher the battery life, the more useful the strobe light is.
5. Battery type: Most strobe lights come with either alkaline or lithium batteries. While alkaline batteries provide longer battery life, lithium batteries have a higher discharge rate.
You should always buy the strobe light that suits your needs. For instance, if you want an emergency strobe light that you can carry around, then you should buy a strobe light with alkaline batteries.
On the other hand, if you want a strobe light to illuminate a job site, then you should buy a strobe light with lithium batteries.
6. Bulb type: There are two types of bulbs – LED and incandescent. While LED bulbs are more energy efficient, they have a shorter lifespan.
On the other hand, incandescent bulbs have a longer lifespan but consume more energy.
7. Price: The price of the strobe light varies from model to model. The features that determine the price include battery type, bulb type and brightness.
