Strobe Beacons
Strobe Beacons: Xenon and LED Flashing Warning Lights for Electricians and Plant Maintenance Teams
On a noisy plant floor or a busy loading dock, a steady lamp is easy to ignore and a sharp flash is not. Strobe beacons do this job with xenon tubes or LED arrays, in supplies from 12V DC up to 240V AC, like this Klaxon 3 joule xenon flashing beacon for mains-fed installs. The range below covers surface-mount, panel-mount and explosion-proof options.
What's in This Range
- Compact xenon strobe — the Allen-Bradley xenon mini square strobe is a 5 joule, IP66 unit that runs on 24V AC/DC.
- Mains xenon beacon — the Moflash 10 joule xenon flashing beacon connects straight to 230V AC.
- Round surface-mount strobe — the 90mm round strobe beacon suits machine and conveyor signalling.
- Large-lens strobe — the 160mm round strobe beacon gives a wide, easy-to-see flash across large work areas.
- Panel-mount strobe — the panel-mount strobe light fits into control panel and cabinet doors.
- Low-voltage LED strobe — the Tobin IP65 LED strobe light runs on 12-24V AC/DC for vehicles and mobile plant.
- Explosion-proof strobe — the Moflash 20 joule explosion-proof xenon strobe is built for classified areas.
- Micro strobe — the Matelec red round micro strobe is a small DC option for tight spaces.
Who Uses This
- Electricians fitting out warehouse loading docks, roller doors and forklift crossing points.
- Switchboard builders adding panel-mount strobe indicators for fault and alarm status.
- Maintenance crews at manufacturing plants, wiring low-voltage LED strobes to machine alarms.
- Contractors on mining, fuel and chemical sites that need explosion-proof strobe beacons.
Strobe Beacons — Common Questions
Which supply voltage should I choose for a strobe beacon?
Match the beacon to the supply you already have at the install point. Low-voltage 12-24V units suit control panels, vehicles and machine circuits, while 100-240V AC units like the Tobin high-intensity LED strobe run straight off mains. Always check the rated voltage range on the product page before ordering.
Is an LED or xenon strobe better?
Xenon units are rated in joules, and a Moflash 2 joule xenon flash beacon gives a sharp flash that stands out in daylight and busy yards. LED strobes such as the Tobin 12-24V range have no flash tube to replace and draw less current, which helps on battery or low-voltage circuits.
Can strobe beacons be used in wet or hazardous areas?
IP65 and IP66 rated housings, like the Allen-Bradley mini square strobe, handle dust and water jets on washdown or outdoor sites. For classified areas, look at the explosion-proof xenon strobes and check the certification details on the product page against your site requirements.
