Specifications
Dimming
All TriCore and Torus Narrowstik models come equipped with a DIM, low power, mode as standard that allows the user to reduce
the light intensity if desired. The current consumption is also significantly reduced in this mode (approximately 60%). See the Control
Head manual for details.
The Dim setting reduces the light output of emergency warning lights reducing the effectiveness of
them especially in brightly lit areas. Failure to use adequate light for the circumstances can cause
motorists to fail to see the emergency vehicle and lead to serious personal injury or death. Never
use the DIM setting in a brightly lit area. Use of the DIM setting may cause emergency lights to not
comply with applicable emergency warning light standards. Use caution when using the DIM setting to
assure that motorists can clearly see the emergency vehicle.
