The flash reaches the temperature of 5600 Kelvin to produce a colored light. Thermostat is incorporated with it to maintain the functional range of temperature for particular wavelength of light.

The time of discharging the flash is in microseconds but the energy produce in a single flash is about 20 joules to 150 joules. During the act of some emergency police visor type strobes are used to produce flashes that indicate warning signals or emergency.

Police visor strobes light are generally combination of red and blue colour. This is due to the fact that Red light has the longest wavelength and blue have the shortest wavelength but strongest effect. So combination of both leads it to be distinctly visible from far places.

In police visor strobe light, the light source may be a light emitting diode (LED) or a xenon flash lamp. Sometimes, Police visor strobe lights are also made by combination of both LED and Xenon flash lamp. This enhances the generation of warning signals as well as stimulates the high visibility due to xenon flash lamp in dark condition.

Some of them include LED high power strobe, LED Laser strobe, LED tow truck strobe etc. Each one is used for different purpose and each is used to indicate different signal for different vehicles. For ambulance,  it speaks emergency and for police vehicle, it signifies warning signals. This helps in recognition of police and ambulance easily in heavy traffic.

The urgency of the journey can be seen by the other drivers on the road. But it may be dangerous too. Photosensitive epilepsy and photo-taxis are some problem with few drivers on road. Sometime the glare of flash may lead to convulsion which may lead to accident of some other driver on road.

Different color of  police visor strobe light   have different meaning such as Red shows emergency, yellow shows some construction work  vehicle while white is assigned for fueling tankers etc. similarly blue is assigned for law enforcement vehicle in many countries.
