Some of the visor is gas discharge strobes they are heavy but have longer wavelength flashes. Colored flashes can be designed in police visor type strobe with the help of colored gels. 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 this mean it generates the signal to leave way for patrolling vehicle or in the case of emergency.
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.

In police visor strobe light, generally an LED is embedded in circuit with a thermostat which only regulates the heat level and make it glow to desired color. Gels are also used with it to generate the colored illumination.

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.
