Strobe Lights versus Blue LED  For a long time in the past, workers in large warehouses were accustomed to blinking red strobe lights that were attached to the top of forklifts. These strobe lights were meant to serve as warning signs that let the people in the warehouse know that a forklift was approaching and that they should get out of the way especially when the forklifts were approaching from corners around which they were not easily visible. But the picture inside the modern warehouses has been changing drastically over the past few years thanks to the introduction of new forklift blue light safety. Instead of being mounted at the tops of forklifts, the blue LED safety lights project on the floor some distance ahead of the forklifts and are meant to serve the same purpose as the strobe lights and warn workers of approaching forklifts. So how do the two types of safety lights compare and why should you opt for the latter over the former? One of the bigges

So how can you improve warehouse safety in a place that has several forklifts operating at the same time and where there are blind spots that prevent people from seeing any forklifts approaching from the opposite side? The solution is to use a forklift arc light. Unlike the more traditional strobe lights that were commonly used in the past, an arc safety light allows people in the house to know about approaching forklifts much sooner and gives them enough time to get out of the way before an accident occ
