Description
Carton of 10 Yellow Sequential Traffic Cone Lamps – Infrared Synchro Cascade Lamps
Sequential Road Taper Cone Lamps
These yellow sequential road taper cone lamps, often referred to as synchro lamps, use infrared technology to signal the next lamp in sequence. When deployed on road tapers or lane merges, the lamps create a cascading yellow chase effect that flashes away from oncoming drivers, improving visibility and directional guidance.
The leading lamp establishes itself as the master and signals the next lamp to flash. This continues down the line, forming the desired sequential flashing pattern.
A single 1W yellow LED provides illumination with a flash rate of 60 flashes per minute at 30CD brightness (L7 Class), accompanied by a steady background mode of 2CD (L3 Class).
Each lamp uses a standard 4R25 battery (not supplied), providing approximately 5 working days of runtime depending on battery quality.
Certified to EN12352:2006+AC2009.
Positioning & Powering On
Lamps can be positioned between 2 and 15 metres apart (optimum performance at 5 metres). They can be deployed in any order, as there is no master/slave configuration. All lamps should be orientated in the same direction with a maximum offset of ±10 degrees, facing oncoming traffic.
Pushing a synchro lamp down onto a traffic cone automatically powers it on. Within 15–20 seconds, lamps identify their nearest counterparts and establish a front‑to‑back sequential pattern.
Each lamp features a rear indicator light that flashes when receiving a signal from the lamp ahead. This helps operators quickly identify lamps that are incorrectly positioned, obstructed, or damaged. If the indicator does not flash, reposition the lamp until the correct sequence is achieved.
Deploy lamps by manufacturer type; interoperability between brands cannot be guaranteed.
Practical Design
The familiar wrap‑around battery housing design allows operators to replace batteries quickly, even when wearing gloves. The housing pushes through the centre of the lamp, securely holding the battery in place and reducing the risk of battery displacement during collisions.
The loop handle can be pushed forward to engage with the lipped top of many traffic cones, providing additional security beyond gravity alone.
Battery connecting points accept the battery in either orientation, provided the springs are inserted first.
Serviceable Components
Traffic management operators often report that battery housings are prone to wear due to lamps being thrown during collection. This lamp’s battery housing is detachable and replaceable.
The lens is also detachable, allowing damaged lamps to be repaired using salvageable components from other units. This provides a strong economic advantage over lamps with no serviceable parts.
The lamp body is made from robust, easy‑to‑clean yellow polyethylene. The lens is high‑impact polycarbonate with a unidirectional design for maximum light output and includes a retro‑reflective ring compliant with DfT standards.

Road Worker Safety
For motorway and highway operations, consider PPE such as the LED illuminated belt harness. With independently operated red LEDs on the rear and white LEDs on the front, workers are more visible to motorists and plant operators. Read more here.
Traffic Cone Lighting for Non‑Public Roads & Motorways
A 360‑degree lighting option for cones on private, commercial, or construction sites is available here. Green, red, yellow, and blue cone‑mounted LEDs are ideal for large‑scale events, parking control, and traffic marshalling.
