Description
Carton of 10 Yellow Sequential Traffic Cone Lamps
Sequential road taper cone lamps, often called synchro lamps, use infrared technology to signal the next lamp in sequence to create a cascade light effect on road tapers and lane merges where the road lamps flash in sequence away from the oncoming driver.
The leading road lamp will establish itself as the master and signal the next road lamp to flash, this continues down the line creating the desired sequential yellow chase flashing pattern.
A single 1W yellow LED provides illumination, with a flash rate of 60 per minute at 30CD Brightness (L7Class) and a steady on mode between flashes of 2CD (L3 Class)
The synch road lamp uses a single standard 4R25 battery (not supplied) 5 working days running time (subject to battery quality).
Certified to EN12352:2006+AC2009 standard.
Positioning & Powering On
They can be positioned 2 to maximum of 15 metres apart (optimum performance 5m), in any order as there is no master or slave lamp, with maximum offset of +-10 degrees. Noting all lamps should be orientated in the same direction facing oncoming traffic.
Pushing a synchro lamp down onto the traffic cone will automatically power on the lamp where it will then begin to identify other lamps in the taper and establish the front to back flashing sequence.
Within 15-20 seconds of deployment all the lamps should have established connections with their nearest counterparts and a sequential light pattern establishes itself.
Each lamp has an indicator light on the rear of the casing that flashes when a signal is being received from the unit in front, this visual indicator helps quickly identify lamps that are wrongly positioned, obstructed or have become inoperable due to damage. Where the indicator light does not flash reposition the lamp until the desired sequence is achieved.
Deploy cone lamps in sequence by manufacturer, interoperability cannot be guaranteed.
Practical Design
With an uncomplicated and familiar design, operators can quickly replace batteries with a minimum of delay.
The battery housing is a popular ‘wrap around design’ that pushes through the centre of the traffic cone lamp securely holding the battery in place which is favoured by operators wearing gloves as handling is typically easier in cold weather situations (closures easier to handle, less likely to freeze or clog with dirt).
The loop handle can also be pushed forward to engage with the lipped top of many traffic cones and further secure the lamp, relying not just on gravity alone to secure it to a traffic cone.
The battery connecting points will accept a battery whichever way it is presented as long as the springs go in first!.
Serviceable Components
We have listened to traffic management operators who say that the part most liable to suffer from wear on a road lamp is the battery housing, lamps get thrown around a lot especially when been collected and this results in the battery cover rubbing away over time.
We have therefore made it detachable so if it does wear through it can be replaced. Additionally as many lamps suffer damage when deployed on the highways and motorways we have made the lens detachable too.
As these components can be replaced or re-used if components are salvageable from other damaged cone lamps, it makes for a strong economic reason to switch from your existing cone lamp provider whose products generally have no serviceable element to them.
The body of the cone lamp is made from robust easy to clean, bright yellow Polyethylene, the lens is made from durable high impact polycarbonate.
The unidirectional lens designed for maximum light output, incorporates a retro-reflective ring in accordance with DFT standards.

Supplied in Full Cartons Only of 10 units per carton, delivery made by courier typically within 2 working days.
Pallet loads of 180 units are available typically with a lead time of 5 working days to a UK delivery address, call for pallet delivery options.
Summary Setup, Positioning & Performance
- Best effects achieved at 2-5 metres (longer gaps have less visual effect, maximum 15m IR range between lamps)
- Orientate lamps all in same direction (+-10 degree maximum)
- Push down on traffic cone to activate lever switch
- Light operates constantly high flash and background light 24/7
- Rear indicator light to aid setup – flashes to demonstrate signal been received from leading lamp
- Anticipated battery performance approx. 5 working days with 8000mAh battery – lamp will cease to flash when power is critically low
