Peterson Manufacturing extended its rapidly growing, USA-made LumenX LED line with a four-inch round strobe light and a six-inch oval strobe. Both models are rated for use as directional flashing warning devices on Class 1 and 2 emergency, maintenance and service vehicles, according to the company.
Engineered around Peterson’s LumenX architecture, the high-performance LED strobes feature white-diode LEDs and optics, noted Peterson. The new lens design illuminates the entire lens fully and evenly without “hotspots” or “dead zones,” regardless of viewing angle, added the manufacturer. The strobes can be purchased in amber, white or red lenses. All meet the higher SAE J595 Class 1 requirements.
“We believe a brighter light is a safer light,” said Kristen Goodson, vice president of product management, “and so do many states and municipalities now demanding Class 1 visibility for their vehicle warning lights. We’ve gone one step further for this market by designing our amber and white warning lights to be almost 75% brighter than the higher Class 1 requirement.”
Peterson noted that the LumenX LED strobes feature:
- 73 quad flashes per minute;
- Brightness exceeds SAE J595 Class 1 specs;
- Exceeds specs when mounted in any 360-degree orientation;
- 12- and 24-volt compatibility;
- AMP-compatible weatherproof receptacle for best corrosion protection available;
- Grommet- and flange-mounts available all models.
