EX-Light traffic management

January 2011 Sensors & Transducers

With personnel and equipment transit in mind, Banner Engineering has introduced its EZ-Light traffic lights as a cost-effective solution for signalling, traffic control and other applications where highly visible light are needed. The lights can be used in a variety of settings and environments – from loading docks to parking garages, wet or dirty areas, indoors or outside – making them a vital component to increased efficiency while potentially reducing expenses and lost time due to mishaps in traffic areas. “With the EZ traffic lights, we have a simple solution for any environment requiring traffic control,” said Chuck Dolezalek, product development manager at Banner Engineering. “They are durable, easy to install and can be tailored to customer needs.”

Using LED technology that consumes very little energy, the traffic lights are compact devices that come as a preassembled unit, are completely self-contained, and house up to three indicators with sun shields already included. The lights have an aesthetic shape that sheds debris and moisture, while their construction is shock, vibration, and impact resistant. In addition to their durability they are immune to EMI and RFI interference and have a controlled field of view for signage and narrow lane use. Key features include:

* Intense levels of light output for outdoor applications.

* No controller needed.

* Models for flat or DIN-rail mounting, or for use with standoff pipe and adapters for elevated mounting.

* Choice of NPN or PNP input.

* Choice of 15-30 VDC or 85-130 VAC operation.
