Solar-Powered, LED Traffic Signs Identify Hazards by Day and Night
BlinkerSigns with flashing Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) recharge with sunlight for installation anywhere, independent of any power source. Low power usage enables signs to run 24/7 and up to 10 days or more in fully clouded conditions. Wiring and circuitry are sealed within weather-protected aluminum housings. Can interface with traffic control devices, including push buttons, timer clocks, and loop detectors. Signs feature reflective 3M sheeting on aluminum and are fitted with matching-color, ultra-bright LEDs that flash simultaneously at 60 times per min., extending visibility range up to 2 miles. Effective under all weather and ambient light conditions. Can be programmed to operate autonomously, from dusk to dawn, and during low-light conditions. Automatically reduce nighttime brightness so drivers can still see sign’s message. Install at hazardous stop-sign locations; school zones, crossings, and bus stops; pedestrian crossings; fire station ingress; dangerous curves; railroad crossings; foggy areas; limited visibility entrances and crossings; construction zones; and more. BlinkerPaddles for school and work zones are available. Conform with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) specifications as stipulated by the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
