lightbar
Emergency vehicle lights
A lightbar is a strip of mounted lights, typically on the roof of emergency vehicles like police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks.
The flashing colored lights signal authority and urgency: I saw the lightbar in my rearview and pulled over.
Lightbars also appear on tow trucks, construction vehicles, and snow plows for visibility.
In computing and gaming, a lightbar is an illuminated strip on hardware like controllers or keyboards, often customizable for aesthetic or functional purposes.
