Warning Lights & Flashing Beacons
Flashing warning lights and safety beacon lights are used to alert drivers, pedestrians, and equipment operators to hazards, restricted areas, and active work zones. These lights are commonly installed on barricades, vehicles, and structures where high visibility is required to reduce accidents and improve awareness.
Designed for dependable outdoor performance, flashing warning lights provide clear visual signals during nighttime, low-light conditions, and poor weather.
Hazard Visibility in Traffic and Work Zones
Flashing warning lights improve safety by drawing attention to hazards such as lane closures, construction areas, and restricted access points. The flashing pattern helps differentiate warning lights from surrounding ambient lighting, making them easier to recognize from a distance.
Safety beacon lights are frequently used in traffic control, construction sites, industrial facilities, and airport environments where clear visual alerts are critical.

LED Performance and Battery Life
Many modern flashing warning lights use LED technology to deliver bright, consistent output with minimal power consumption. LED designs extend battery life and reduce maintenance, supporting long-term use in temporary and permanent installations.
Weather-resistant housings protect internal components, enabling flashing warning lights to operate reliably in rain, heat, and cold.
Choosing the Right Flashing Warning Light
Selecting the right flashing warning light depends on visibility requirements, mounting method, and runtime needs. Some applications require continuous operation, while others benefit from lights designed for temporary deployment on barricades or vehicles.
Transportation Supply offers safety beacon lights designed for durability, visibility, and consistent performance across a range of safety applications.
