A Barricade Light?
We pass construction all the time, but we may not know all of the names of the equipment we are passing. Sure, most people don’t care that those blinking lights on top of the orange drums or signs are called a barricade light, but this post is for those that do want to know. Just look throughout my blog to learn about the various names of those products.
The blinking lights are called barricade lights, the orange drums are called traffic drums or channelizer drums, the tall skinny tubes are called delineators. I can go on an on, because there is such a variety of products. There are more categories and more products within the name ‘barricade light’, for example Type B Barricade light, solar barricade lights, type a barricade light, type c barricade light, type d barricade light.
What’s a barricade light?
Most people don’t know what a barricade light is. When you explain that they are the yellow blinking lights on top of the orange barrels you see on the highway they usually are quick to understand what you are talking about. But chances are they don’t know about all the different types of barricade lights out there.
There are multiple types of barricade lights; type b barricade lights I mentioned earlier in one of my posts, they are a 24/7 high intensity type barricade light. Type d barricade lights have a dome shaped light at the top, allowing the light to shine 360″ versus the usual bi-directional barricade light where you are not able to see the flash at certain angles. Type A barricade lights flash on and off, and Type B barricade lights burn steady. Type C barricade lights have a switch that changes the light between flashing and steady.
