LED warning beacons brighter than a 5J Xenon strobe
UK based E2S Warning Signals has developed a comprehensive range of LED beacons for use as warning beacons and status indicators for systems installed in hazardous areas and industrial environments.
The LED units, using a multiple array of high power white Cree LEDs, can offer advantages over traditional Xenon strobe technology in many applications. The typical light output level from the LED units is a very bright at 338 candela, significantly higher than the 120 candela effective intensity of a 5J Xenon tube unit.
E2S LED beacons have five flash rates for warning beacon uses: 1, 1.5 and 2Hz and double and triple flashes. They also have high and low power steady modes for status indicator uses – enhancing the typical life of more than 60,000 hours. DC voltage versions feature three remotely selectable stages enabling multiple warnings to be signaled from one device.
