Examples provide pre-configuration of emergency vehicle lockable device. A device manager obtains a unique identifier (UID) assigned to a lockable device, such as a multicolor lightbar or a siren device in an uninitialized state. The UID and pre-configuration parameters are received in a request to pre-configure a single device or a batch request to pre-configure a plurality of lockable devices. The device manager updates a lock status of a locked function from a locked state in which the lockable function is inoperable to a pre-unlocked state in accordance with the pre-configuration parameters. The device manager generates, and stores unlock code(s) to unlock the pre-configured lockable function. In response to receiving the UID of a lockable device during initialization, the unlock code(s) are automatically transmitted to a user device associated with the lockable device to unlock and enable the pre-unlocked function to operate in accordance with the pre-configuration parameters.

A lighting fixture for vehicles is described herein. The light fixture is configured to produce a variable light output with variable angle of light spread. A light source, such as a series of connected light emitting diodes, encapsulated by optics, are affixed to a light fixture. A series of optics facing the light source may thus be manipulated and moved in a linear fashion towards or away from a light source in order to achieve a particular angle of light spread. The optics are controlled by a controller coupled to the light fixture and may function in an automated method or may respond to manual control. An adjustability mechanism assembly existing within and coupled to the light fixture operates the series of optics in a linear fashion towards or away from a light source. The light fixtures produce a range of light spreads from a focused spot light to a wider flood light.
