Surface mount warning lights are among the most versatile vehicle visibility products available today.

Compact, powerful, and easy to install, they provide professional-grade warning performance for fleets, contractors, emergency responders, tow operators, utility companies, municipalities, and roadside service providers.

What Are Surface Mount Warning Lights?

Surface mount LEDs are compact warning lights installed directly onto a vehicle body, grille, bumper, toolbox, headache rack, tailgate, or equipment enclosure.

Unlike full-size light bars, surface mount warning lights can be strategically positioned throughout a vehicle to improve visibility from multiple angles.
