Description
An emergency flashing cone warning light yellow 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.
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 of 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 retain them in position if a cone is tipped over.
There are fixing points in each of the emergency cone warning light’s arms that allows them to be strung together which helps limit movement and offers fixing options such as zip ties which will deter unauthorised removal/adjustment.
The 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 will operate in harsh conditions and is a robust commercial design intended 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 practical (to fit inside a traffic cone you need to use smaller batteries).
Dependable Power with AA Batteries
A replaceable battery provides operators with certainty that the unit can always be ready to go as long as spare batteries are present which is preferred by some operators such as Fire Rescue and Police who cannot wait for beacons to be recharged.
This is especially relevant where organisations 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 charged status on kit 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 accessories are not required to locate it in a traffic cone or off of it 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 tied to them using the side aperture fixing points.
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 development subject to any customer demand. 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 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 – Yellow Flash
Mode 2 – Torch
The lens design is for horizontal light dispersal at distances greater than 300M for aviation purposes take a look at our fresnal lens range which will disperse light upwards more efficiently and are therefore better suited to air ops.
The EWL hazard beacon is is made of a resilient polycarbonate lens and tough ABS handle which makes it resistant to shock and damage.
