What is the Flashing Warning Light?
Flashing warning lights are used widely in the roadway, traffic applications. It functions as an add-on on the road to provide extra support to the traffic and brings safety to pedestrians.
According to the U.S Department of Transportation definition, “a flashing beacon is a traffic signal with one or more signal sections that operates in a flashing mode. The lighting fixtures can provide traffic control when used as an intersection control beacon, or provide sign warnings when used in other applications.
Flashing beacon lights use different colors to indicate their various functions. The most commonly used colors for beacon lights include red, amber(yellow), blue, green, and white. The red beacon often signals strong warnings about hazards or danger. Law enforcement or firefighting vehicles use red beacons as well, which implies stopping or moving out of the way to safety.
Amber (Yellow) safety warning lights provide an all-purpose visual warning in multiple applications. The amber flashing beacon is used on machinery, buildings, and vehicles to alert hazardous conditions. The flashing beacon can go on warning signs or perimeters of buildings to signal alert specific conditions that may impact people in the area. In applications such as traffic signs, the beacon lights are required to flash for 24 hours straight.
