Improve sign visibility with 24-hour beacons

Draw attention to signs. The R247-F 24-Hour Flashing Beacon increases visibility of road signage at unsignalized intersections and work zones via its continuous flash output. This 24-hour solar flashing beacon quickly installs onto existing signposts and can easily be moved to meet changing needs on roadways and worksites.

The self-contained solar engine has the battery, energy management system, and solar panel contained in one unit. It requires no trenching, cabling, or in-ground wiring. And it’s built to last: we reassure the durability and dependability of our product with a 5-year warranty.

Top 3 reasons to choose the R247-F 24-Hour Flashing Beacon:

  • 30-watt solar engine can operate at higher intensities for more versatility in applications.
  • Suits any application requiring up to 4 beacons.
  • Easy to mount or retrofit onto a range of square and round poles.

Wireless Beacon Control

Applications include emergency vehicle warning beacons, inspection station beacons and advance traffic warning beacon systems. Two activation models are available: momentary beacon flashing for a pre-configured number of seconds, or an alternate button model where the R247-F will flash indefinitely until the button is pressed again.
