LED Hazard Beacon for Police

Knight Pods – An Evolution in Police Warning Beacons

Since we introduced the KB55 Knight Pod to the UK in 2009 we have seen many police forces adopting them introducing them for their compact, rechargeable robustness and cost saving potential when compared to traditional police warning beacons.

A case set of 6 units easily fit inside an equipment packed police vehicle and weigh less than 3kgs with the dimensions of a small briefcase so virtually any sized police response vehicle can carry a set.

We have continued the evolution and produced the latest  KB56 Knight Pod after listening to the requirements of some of our police customers – this has a command and control feature and has a unique sequential flashing capability.

It comes in a case set of 6 Emergency warning lights that has blue police beacon LED’s capability, amber warning LEDs capability and Red Emergency LED capability all in the one emergency beacon.

With no lid the LED beacons are held in place by their magnetic properties, take them out of their docking stations and they immediately activate so deployment is instant – no messing with power buttons or settings they activate with their preferred last setting.

Turn the hazard lights on and the first in sequence can be used to control the flash pattern of the others including switching modes and turning all the lights off. Rotating warning lights are eye catching equally synchronous flashing warning lights identify a hazard area – set them according to your emergency or the hazard you want to light up.

We have reduced the number of flash patterns to just two, in line with the requests from various police forces.  Mode one flashes all 16 LEDs for 360 degree warning, mode two  flashes just the 4 LEDs so that traffic is only warned in a single direction (you do not distract drivers in the opposite lane of travel).

Turn the leading unit off to turn off all the lights that are in line behind it.

Up to thee case sets of lights can be daisy chained together to produce an elongated demarcation line.

Available from the end of this month we are pleased to announce that we already have advanced orders for this product and have high expectations that come autumn we will see a similar demand for this model as we have with our original Knight Pod hazard light.

Remember we also supply versions of our Traffic Wands that are designed for the emergency services and are especially useful in low light environments, with three designs we have short versions that can be clipped to PPE, the KB27C is very compact using 3 x AAA batteries, its wider bodied variant uses 3 X AA batteries so has a extended duration KB27B  and a longer design the KB37RB that has both blue and red flashing patterns which provide  that ’emergency services present’ message to drivers.

Designed for primarily for hand held operation their magnetic base and tripod stand does allow them to be deployed independently and we have case studies especially in rural environments where these have been deployed on bends to provide advance warning that an emergency vehicle or incident is out of line of sight. You can tuck a lot of these in a limited amount of space!
