Description
An emergency flashing cone warning light blue with 360 degree visibility and a flexible design that allows it to be dropped into the opening of a traffic cone or hung from cones or traffic signage via the integral twin clips with fixing apertures.
Available only to the emergency services and military only as this is a blue lights product.
Powered by 2 x AA batteries the cone warning light is a slim design that allows the cone warning light to be inserted in traffic cones with an opening of 3.2cm or larger.
The supporting arms on the light will clip around road traffic cones that have a collared design providing a very secure fixing, stopping the light from falling down larger cone apertures and helping to retain them in position if a cone is toppled.
The fixing points in each of the emergency cone warning light’s arms, allow them to be strung together limiting movement in the event of collision as well as offering more secure fixing options cable ties etc, that can deter unauthorised removal/adjustment.
The blue emergency warning light (EWL) is operated by twisting the main battery housing, this operates its single flash pattern that repeats at one second intervals.
IP67 rated the unit is weather proof and designed to be robust for demanding environments.
Quality AA batteries will provide a useful 6 hours duration, the light is intended for emergency and hazard scenario’s so duration was not the main driver of this design but we considered this a practical duration between battery changes (to fit inside a traffic cone aperture you need to use smaller batteries).
Dependable Power with AA Batteries
A replaceable battery provides operators such as Police and Fire & Rescue with certainty that the unit can always be ready to go as long as spare batteries are present which is preferred by some operators who cannot wait for beacons to be recharged.
This is especially relevant for these organisations who operate in shifts, keeping kit in constant use is not always suited to rechargeable devices as there can be an unknown factor with regards to the charging status of kit at handover.
The use of non specialised AA batteries means that ‘keeping the lights on’ can be as simple as a visit to a local retailor if caught without spares and this was a design consideration – AA batteries are an over the counter product in virtually every retailor and petrol station shop.
Accessories
The design and intended application of the EWL is such that no accessories are needed to locate the blue emergency cone light on a traffic cone subject to the traffic cones having a hole in the top of them.
The same applies to road signage where the arms/clips can be used to hang the EWL off of items or fixed to them using the side aperture fixing points with cable ties or rope.
At the time of releasing this product there was no ground mounting base option however this is a planned development that can be speeded through subject to any customer demand emerging. For large order quantities we can have a mould manufactured quickly which would be similar to the that used on our KB flare range of battery operated warning lights which share the characteristics of the eflare (TM) range of beacons.
Please contact us if this is of interest.
Specification
Each Light has 6 blue LEDs to product 360 degree light output with a single LED in the top that can double as a basic torch
The multiuse led flare has a twist action operation and the following modes:-
Mode 1 – Blue Flash
Mode 2 – Torch
The lens is designed for horizontal dispersal of light at distances greater than 300M, for aerial applications also consider the KFlare or Knight Pod Mk3 which vertical characteristics to light dispersion.
The EWL blue hazard beacon is is made of a resilient polycarbonate lens and tough ABS handle which makes it resistant to shock and damage.
