What’s the difference between a type b barricade light and a regular barricade light?
If you need a light that flashes 24/7, then a type b barricade light is what you are looking for. Though they cost between $80-$90 (versus a regular light that costs between $15-$20), that is the only barricade light that you will be able to see during the day and night. Also, type b barricade lights are naturally brighter because they have LEDs in them, so if you are putting up lights for a dangerous area and you want to MAKE SURE people see them, then type b is your best bet.
There are a variety of brands and options of type b barricade lights, so it is important to explore all the possibilities. But first off, realize that ALL type b lights have a hood on them and only flash on one side (all the energy is focused on flashing one way). The four type b barricade lights I know of; Empco 212-3S Solar Assist Model, Empco regular type b, Empco type b d-cell, and Solar Masters fully solar type b light. The “Solar Assist” model has 4 d-cell batteries that are ‘trickle charged’ by the solar panel when it is outside. The batteries last about 9 months before they have to be replaced. The Empco regular type b takes one or two 6 volt batteries (depending on the model) and the Empco type b d-cell takes (4) d-cell batteries. The d-cell lasts around 60 days, the 12 volt lasts around 60 and the 6 volt lasts around 150 before the batteries has to be replaced.
