As its name implies, the 16 Series stands only 1.6" tall versus the 2.1" height of the 21 Series light bar. The eased ends on the 16 Series light bar also complement any vehicle's roofline compared to the more square edges of the 21 Series.

Emergency Light Bars: LED Safety Solutions for Tow Trucks and Service Vehicles
When visibility and safety are on the line, the right emergency light bar makes all the difference. Whether you’re outfitting a tow truck, service truck, first responder vehicle, or construction fleet, choosing a reliable emergency LED lightbar ensures you stay seen in all conditions. From compact 24-inch bars to extended 69-inch options, today’s vehicle emergency light bars offer a mix of power, durability, and customization to match any application.
Why Choose an Emergency Light Bar
An emergency lightbar provides 360-degree visibility that single beacons or surface-mounted strobes can’t always achieve. These bars are engineered to deliver high-intensity light output with multiple flash patterns, allowing drivers to signal warnings clearly in busy traffic, roadside recovery zones, or work areas.
Key benefits include:
- Wide range of sizes (24”–69”) to fit different vehicles.
- Color options including red, blue, amber, and white to match industry standards.
- Configurable lightheads, typically ranging from 9 to 20, for flexible coverage.
- LED technology for brighter output and lower energy draw.
