Product Highlights

360° Illumination

This light bar leaves no blind spots with 22 high-intensity LED modules housing a total of 252 robust diodes. It delivers ultra-bright amber warning coverage across the front and sides, alongside dedicated rear-facing red stop/turn/tail (STT) safety lights and crisp white work lights, guaranteeing your truck is visible from every conceivable angle.

30 Programmable Flash Patterns

Equipped with a highly customizable internal flasher, the light bar features 30 selectable flashing warning patterns. This extensive library allows fleet operators to match their warning signals perfectly to specific hazard levels, weather conditions or local municipal regulations.

Integrated Traffic Advisor

The rear of the light bar features a built-in, all-amber directional traffic controller with 10 distinct signaling patterns. Operators can instantly guide approaching motorists safely left, right or split-around active recovery scenes.

On-the-Fly Scene Customization

The light bar includes dedicated wire triggers for Low Power (Dim Mode) to prevent blinding oncoming drivers at night, and a Front Cut Off feature to completely disable forward-facing strobes when driving on the highway or working ahead of your truck.

3 Programmable Memory Slots

Save your most-used configurations for instant deployment on the job. The light bar features 3 separate program modes/memory slots, allowing operators to save and easily toggle between tailored settings for specific tasks—such as Loading, Transport or Stand-By modes.

Advanced Pilot Mode

Instead of dropping into complete darkness between strobe bursts, the LEDs drop to a low-intensity steady burn. This eliminates "dark time" entirely, keeping your truck continuously visible to oncoming motorists 100% of the time.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Built to withstand harsh road debris, severe weather and relentless vibration, the light bar features a heavy-duty extruded aluminum base topped with high-impact, UV-stabilized polycarbonate lenses.

Discreet Setup

Skip the headache of proprietary software, laptops or external diagnostic tools. The light bar utilizes standard discreet wiring functionality, allowing installers to program, save and cycle through functions directly via hardware connections using the 25' jacketed harness.

Enhance safety on the road with the Amber Clear Lens Mini Warning Bar. This compact and versatile safety device is designed to provide a highly visible warning signal, ensuring the safety of drivers and pedestrians in various applications and environments.

Maxxima Warning Amber Clear Lens Minibar

The two Maxxima Warning Minibar Lights are separated by one thing, their mounting structure. Model M20487YCL contains a magnetic mount and model M20488YCL has a permanent mount. Both have their own advantages, and both can be tailored to the customer's preferences. For more sturdy holds and for mounting situations where the warning light won't be moved in the future, a permanent mount might be the best fit. This is especially true if drilling is not an issue and if magnetic surfaces are not present. But, if drilling is unfavorable and magnetic surfaces are present, then the magnetic mount should be the one of preferred choice. While the magnetic mount provides a sturdy hold as well, it also features the light to be moved in the future without having to deal with the aftermath of fixing drill holes, saving you time and money.

$217.99 – $232.99

Custer 23" LED Auxiliary Light Bar

Custer's 23" Roof-mounted light bar contains 40 high-intensity amber LEDs with amber lenses and has 360 Degrees of coverage. This unit includes a controller box which can be mounted inside the cab.

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.
