The HTS Spares Beacon Light Bar LED 1200mm (Part No. HEL3138) is a professional-grade amber warning light bar designed for plant hire fleets, construction vehicles, highway maintenance equipment, and road works machinery. Powered by 72 x 3 watt SMD LEDs across a full 1200mm aluminium and polycarbonate housing, this light bar delivers the broad, high-intensity amber warning coverage that busy sites and live highway environments demand. With dual 12-24 volt compatibility, it suits everything from small tracked excavators and dumpers to large HGVs, tipper trucks, and slow-moving plant.
Carrying full ECE R65, ECE R10, EMC, CE, and E Mark approvals, this LED beacon light bar meets the certification requirements that UK fleet operators, plant hire companies, and contractors increasingly specify as a condition of site access and insurance compliance. Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual - issued by the Department for Transport - recommends that vehicles stopping on or working from the highway are equipped with a roof-mounted, flashing amber warning light bar comprising at least two independent light sources, and recommends the use of ECE R65 approved products as best practice. Vehicles working on the highway that need to conform to Chapter 8 must carry at least two beacons, or a lightbar with two independent sources of light approved to ECE Regulation 65. The HEL3138 satisfies both requirements in a single, robust unit.
