It’s lightweight versatility make it ideal for all types of police deployment, traffic officers obviously but units such as police cycle and mounted police can now carry, in effect, a warning beacon that previously was not a practicality.
Consider the wand when used by mounted police officer who always has to keep one hand on a police horse’s reigns trying to give clear directional instructions to traffic of any kind with just the one hand – a point with a bright illuminated traffic wand simplifies the messaging immeasurably.
They also provide officers with an effective warning light if they have to move away from their police vehicle and the envelope of light protection they get from their response vehicles strobe lights. Many an officer has commented how its helped them particularly in rural areas avoid a nasty road encounter with other vehicles, for a low cost item they are a remarkably effective piece of safety kit.
The optional tripod mounting allows the police traffic wand to be deployed as an emergency traffic beacon on any surface, it has uses for emergency road demarcation lines, helicopter landing zones and road traffic incidents to name but a few possible applications.
The 360 degree output with multiple light patterns make it a highly versatile road safety product that can augment existing police vehicle equipment, taking up little space or adding any real weight.
Using the equipment clip, lanyard or powerful magnet the police baton can be attached to police or road side signage to provide additional warning capability at the scene of an incident. The reflective properties of road signs significantly increases the flashing effect and must be seen to be fully appreciated.
Furthermore such a deployment strategy directs the output of the light so you can alert traffic in one direction only which avoids distracting traffic on an opposite carriageway.
The KB37RB is a sealed traffic wand offering superior performance in adverse weather conditions and is made of a resilient polycarbonate light sleeve and tough ABS handle which makes it resistant to shock and damage.
