What Can Beacons Be Used For?
There’s an ironic tidbit surrounding beacons, in that they are designed to be loudly bright and alerting, but often times go unnoticed by the average person. But for those to whom the beacons are meant, such as pilots, air traffic runway guiders, marine vessels coming into a harbor, and others, these beacons do stand out with a meaning significant to each one of them.
Common Uses Of Beacons
1. Navigation
2. Warning And Defense
The earliest form of beacons were found in olden days, where people lit fires to warn neighboring communities of enemies approaching. This method of warning others has been traced back to ancient civilizations, including those belonging to the Greeks, Scandinavians, Romans, Spanish, and Chinese.3. Motor Vehicles
A vehicular beacon refers to a rotating or flashing light atop a vehicle. A good example of this is the ambulance, which blares its beacon to get the attention of pedestrians and surrounding vehicles. There are also other emergency vehicles that utilize this beacon, such as police cars, snow-removal vehicles, construction vehicles, tow trucks, etc. For more information on acquiring beacon or aircraft parts, consult the experts at RFQ Experts.At RFQ Experts, owned and operated by ASAP Semiconductor, we can help you find all the unique parts for the aerospace, civil aviation, and defense industries.
