Blog – LED Traffic Batons

Energy saving LEDs allow your traffic safety lights to operate longer on a set of batteries. No bulbs to replace. No filaments to shatter. LED traffic batons have been a staple for police departments, fire departments, school crossing guards, churches, construction crews, valet parking concessions and event planners for years. But now that the summer holiday season is in full swing, LED traffic safety lights are in demand for clubs and associations which sponsor special events during the summer months. Our LED traffic batons come in various colours and two different sizes. The shorter of the two is 13″ long. This smaller size is best for smaller people or children and in situations where a person may want to attach the baton to a belt for quick access. Think in terms of a police officer who is frequently entering and exiting a police car, sometimes in a hurried manner. The more compact size makes it much easier to make those quick manoeuvres. Three ultra-bright LEDs illuminate a red or blue lens. The longer of the two is 21″ long. 14 ultra-bright LEDs illuminate the lens. It’s the LED traffic baton of choice when the highest of visibility is required. As to colours, the most popular is red. We’re wired to be on high alert when we see something red, particularly if it’s flashing. Blue is mostly used by EMT’s and sometimes at airports. It’s also a fun colour for events and plain ole’ attention getting. A combination red and green LED traffic baton allows you to switch between red and green, using red to indicate a stop condition and green to indicate go. Finally, there is an amber LED traffic baton. Amber indicates caution and is used when you want motorists to slow down. Typically the motion would be side to side, with the baton held downward. So why would you choose a LED traffic baton? Money savings: Our LED traffic batons will give you up to 200 hours continuous use in flashing mode on a fresh set of batteries. Also, there are no bulbs to purchase and replace. Durability: With no filaments to break, you can expect a very long life from the devices. Performance: Our LED traffic batons are visible from about 1/2 mile. So when you’re thinking traffic safety lights, think of TheLEDLight.com and think LEDs!
