RS PRO Red Buzzer Beacon, 12 V dc, Base Mount

Introducing the range of RS PRO LED and Sounder Beacons, ideal visual and audible signalling systems offering 360° visibility and loud audible noise. The dual-functioning beacons have an electrical light source using LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) for longer life and maintenance-free design to ensure time is spent on the things that really matter to keep your industry moving. Built in to these units, there is also a sounder unit that can emit a loud audible warning to ensure the warning or signal is seen, as well as heard clearly. These easy to install units are available in a wide variety of colours with a steady LED light output and are versatile enough to be used for a range of applications within factories and manufacturing plants, construction areas and numerous public areas.

Light and sounder beacons are versatile devices that are most commonly used to indicate various states of operation for a device or installation. They are multifunctional visual and audible signalling units that can indicate start, stop, fault signalling or call technical staff to quickly and easily signal when there is a problem or call to action which is especially important when visible signals can’t be seen in busy manufacturing or industrial environments. Light and sounder beacons are a way of achieving maximum safety using bright lighting and high-frequency sound and can be used in combination with different colours or light modes, like flashing, rotating or steady, and high and low frequency to ensure the correct warning or signal message comes across. They are most commonly used in:

• Industrial and manufacturing environments


• Construction sites


• Safety vehicles for traffic and law enforcement


• Emergency vehicle lighting


• Public areas like offices, shops and housing blocks

The main benefit of an LED beacon over a standard beacon that takes halogen or incandescent bulbs, is the fact that an LED bulb can last around 50 x longer than a standard bulb, making them incredibly long-lasting and excellent value for money at cost per use. The other benefit is that due to the longevity of the LED bulb, it allows the beacon to be a maintenance-free unit. This ensures that valuable time and resource that is taken up in replacing and checking the beacons to ensure that the bulbs are functional, can be used to ensure that other functions of the environment in use are maintained.

Beacon sounder combinations come with different tones incorporating high frequencies, low frequencies and industry-standard frequency patterns. They have different coloured lenses to give an enhanced warning signal. Some beacon sounder combinations are equipped with volume control and tuneable features and have options available to be used in both indoor and outdoor environments.
