emergency lights

Urgent warning flashers

Emergency lights are lighting systems that activate during power outages or dangerous situations.

In buildings, they illuminate exit paths when normal power fails.

On vehicles, emergency lights are flashing hazard lights or the colored strobes on police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks: Pull over when you see emergency lights behind you.
