Cone Lamp
Product info
The Knight Beacon low intensity traffic cone lamp uses a built in photo cell which activates the LED during low light conditions.
The cone lamp is turned on to standby mode as soon as the operator pushes it down firmly onto a traffic cone, this activates the internal lever switch and powers the cone lamp on. In low light conditions or the hour of darkness the photocell light sensitive switch activates the cone lamp which then lights up, switching it off when the ambient light level eventually increases.
The single LED provides a constant low level of illumination which is highly efficient in terms of power consumption giving the light exceptional performance between battery changes. The unidirectional yellow lens is designed for maximum light output and incorporates a retro-reflective ring in accordance with DFT standards and reflects vehicle headlights effectively at distance.
The traffic cone lamp uses a single standard 4R25 battery (not supplied) which typically provides 1000 + hours of operational running time (subject to battery quality).
With an uncomplicated design, operators can quickly replace batteries with a minimum of delay, the battery connecting points accept the battery whichever way it is presented (as long as the springs go in first!). Traffic management operators will find the familiar battery housing flap easy to operate whilst wearing gloves with a fold over and through design that is resistant to icing, dirt and potential jams which can impact other designs of battery closure. This design is also good at retaining the battery in the event of a road related impact.
We have listened to operators who say that the part most liable to suffer from wear is the battery housing, we have therefore made it detachable so if it does wear out it can be replaced prolonging the life of the unit. Replacement parts can be purchased separately and because of the accessible design of the traffic lamp components can be cannibalised from damaged units with traffic management operators able to conduct basic service activities themselves.

Sequential Cone Lamp
Product info
The Knight Beacon Sequential cone lamp uses IR technology to signal the next cone lamp in line to produce the sequential tapering effect used for traffic management for road merges, tapers and lane closures.
A single 1W LED provides illumination, with a flash rate of 60 per minute at 30CD Brightness (L7Class) and a steady on mode between flashes of 2CD (L3 Class)
The synchro lamp uses a single standard 4R25 battery (not supplied) which typically provides 1000 hours of operational running time (subject to battery quality).
Sequential cone lamps can be positioned from between 2 to 15 metres apart, with no master or slave they can be deployed in any order and will immediately try to identify the next unit in line once activated.
Within 15-20 seconds of deployment the lamps should have established connections with their nearest counterpart and a sequential light pattern will commence, from an oncoming vehicles perspective the lead road lamp will flash followed by the one behind it and so forth in that chase pattern required at road tapers and lane mergers.
Each sync lamp has an indicator light on the rear of the casing that flashes when a signal is being received from the unit in front, this visual indicator helps quickly identify sync lamps that are wrongly positioned, obstructed or inoperable.
With an uncomplicated design, operators can quickly replace batteries with a minimum of delay, the battery connecting points accept the battery whichever way it is presented (as long as the springs go in first!). A familiar wrap around battery cover helps ensure traffic management operators have properly closed the battery cover, the design been resistant to snagging and jams through dirt or ice ingress and suited to operators wearing winter protective gloves as there’s no complicated closures to navigate.
We have also listened to operators who say that the part most liable to suffer from wear is the battery housing, we have there made it detachable so if it does wear out it can be replaced prolonging the life of the unit still further.
Knightbeacon road lamps have been designed to be accessible and basic components can be replaced thus prolonging the overall life of a road lamp as much as possible with spare components been available and elements that can be taken from other damaged lamps and reused.
Features & Benefits
Cost Effective – Better value
Technically advanced – IR synchronisation
Smart Design – Fast push down to activate cone lamp, easy battery access and maintenance
Highly efficient – Optimises battery life
Highly robust – Durable, easy clean materials
Traffic Marshalling
Product info
We have a wide range of traffic marshalling wands available with different features and colour options designed for road traffic and plant management applications.
Having worked collaboratively with construction industry leaders we have produced specialised traffic management products that provide workers with bright, portable signalling capabilities that enhance the visible presence of an operator and help convey directional messages to observers.
Whether it be workers directing plant and machinery on construction sites, identifying demarcation zones or areas where personnel may be working, we have a range of products suited to the task, all battery operated, compact and effective and which will help contribute to a safer working environment.
There are four basic models of wand available in a variety of colours and colour combinations.
All traffic marshalling wand options are available directly from stock, to make an on-line purchase please visit our distributors at www.trafficwands.co.uk
KB27
The KB27 uses 3 x AA batteries, it is a compact wand just under 27cm long having a handle of just over 10 cms and light sleeve of slightly longer than 16 cm.
They have a magnetic base, belt clip and wrist lanyard and are operated via a single power button which cycle through the wands different operating modes.
With a minimum of 18 high output LED’s they are highly visible and leaders in their class, most competing wands use far fewer LED’s with a lower level of light output.
The magnetic base is strong enough to support the marshalling wands from metallic surfaces. An optional tripod allows them to be deployed as a stand alone visual warning indicator on any surface.
With a road traffic cone mounting adapter traffic wands can also be positioned on top of your traffic cones turning them into illuminated traffic cones that can be used as distinctive lane markers for entry, exit and queuing points ideal at large exhibitions and events where lanes can be identified by colour.
The coloured sleeve of the single coloured traffic wands also means that lanes can be colour coded without the need to use different coloured traffic cones – placing a Red traffic wand on top of a traffic cone provides a clear and highly visible indicator that can be switched with another colour wand easily as they are so lightweight and convenient to transport.
They are exceptional versatile and offer a highly compact alternative to bulkier signalling devices such as traffic cones.
The KB27 series are available in a range of colours:-
KB27R Red Traffic Wand with flashing red LED, constant red and white nose cone torch feature
KB27Y Yellow Traffic Wand with flashing yellow LED, constant yellow and white nose cone torch feature
KB27G Green Traffic Wand with flashing green LED, constant green and white nose cone torch feature
KB27RG Red/Green Traffic Wand has a flashing red LED, constant red and constant green LED light feature with a white nose cone torch
KB27RW Red/White Traffic Wand with red flashing LED, constant red LED, constant white latern effect LED and a white nose cone torch feature
KB37
The KB37 uses 3 x AA batteries and is 37cm long having a handle of just over 10cm and light sleeve of 26cm.
It has a magnetic base, belt clip and wrist lanyard and is operated via a single power button which cycle the wands through their operating modes.
This is similar to the KB27 having the same number of high intensity LEDs but in an extended light tube, the long distance observer can receive better directional instructions the longer the traffic wand.
An optional tripod allows the wand to be deployed as a standalone warning indicator with applications as wide reaching as identifying way points, hazardous areas, cordons, workers present etc.
The KB37 series are available in a range of colours:-
KB37R Red Traffic Wand with flashing red LED, constant red and white nose cone torch feature
KB37Y Yellow Traffic Wand with flashing yellow LED, constant yellow and white nose cone torch feature
KB37G Green Traffic Wand with flashing green LED, constant green and white nose cone torch feature
KB37A Amber Traffic Wand with flashing amber LED, constant amber and white nose cone torch feature
KB37RG Red/Green Traffic Wand has a flashing red LED, constant red and constant green LED light feature with a white nose cone torch
KB37RB Red/Blue Emergency Services Traffic Wand with constant red LED, constant blue LED, alternate red and blue flashing LED function and a white nose cone torch feature
KB26RG-CSW
KB26RG-CSW Banksman Safety Wand uses 3 x AAA batteries, more compact but actually brighter than our KB27 and KB37 series traffic wands, this unit was designed in collaboration with a major construction company who required a pressure sensitive banksman light wand that would switch from green to red if the button was released.
With this feature if an operator trips or drops the unit the light reverts back to red providing a stop signal to the observer. With solid red and solid green light output (no flashing green LEDs or flashing red LED’s just a solid light output) operated by the pressure activated switch, a vehicle marshal can instantly switch from a red to green light output simply by applying or releasing pressure.
Training is simplified with simple stop go light signals, the traffic wand does not have to cycle through unnecessary button presses it’s red or green until the traffic management operator decides to turn the banksman wand off.
A very useful nose cone torch feature is also provided that allows operatives to carry out basic inspection tasks. A usage case been that of airport service operators who direct airbridges, baggage conveyors and catering replenishment vehicles up to aircraft and need to inspect that no damage has occurred after the service has been completed – the nose cone torch useful enough to conduct that visual inspection in low light conditions.
It has a magnetic base allowing it to be deployed as a standalone red flashing wand and comes with a belt clip. Being the smallest of our wands it is highly portable and relatively robust thanks to its compact design and can be attached to PPE using carrying systems such as Klickfast as can be viewed at our distributors website www.knightkit.co.uk
KB37AV
KB37AV is an aviation marshalling wand that uses 2 x C batteries for extended periods of duty.
A rugged red only high visibility hi-vis traffic wand manufactured using day glow, high visibility materials. It was designed for more challenging environments where both day and night time signalling is a requirement. It has applications in the civilian and military sectors and is particularly suited to aviation been used extensively at military airfields including the USAF located in the UK.
The unit has a single 1W LED in the handle that illuminates the sleeve with a softer glow than other models which is ideal for night time operations where the observer needs to retain good night vision.
Reducing the amount of circuitry has the added advantage of helping improve ruggedness as there’s less that can be damaged with no circuit board running up the length of a light tube but tucked away in the tough base of the light wand. The traffic wand has been built to withstand rough handling and will typically withstand a 1.5m fall onto a hard surface without issue.
