Signaling Lights Relays & Sockets Signaling Lights Switches & Pilot Lights LD6A LD6A LED SignaLight Towers Unique Striped Design Improves Visibility Key features of the LD6A LED SignaLight Towers include: * The striped design with non-illuminated area between the lenses makes the illuminated color very visible. * Unique oval lens shape provides high-visibility from different directions. * Five different mounting styles available: frame mount, wall mount, direct mount and pole mount (round or L-shaped bracket). * Clear lens models available to clearly distinguish between illuminated and non-illuminated lenses. * Custom configuration is possible. * Flashing cycle: 1.75Hz (approx. 105 flashes per minute) conforms to international standard IEC 60073. * Alarm (3.3kHz, 2 different styles) can be heard in 360 degrees. Adjustable volume (70 to 90dB). * Degree of protection: IP65 Steady units and IP54 Flashing units (using frame, wall, direct and pole mount with round base), IP23 Steady and Flashing units using pole mount with L-shaped bracket.
