The HTS Spares HEL3398 is a 6 LED amber directional warning light designed to meet the visibility and safety demands of the UK plant hire and construction industries. Running on dual voltage 12-24V, it is compatible with the full range of plant machinery, commercial vehicles, and towed equipment commonly found across hire fleets and construction sites. Powered by 6 x 3W LEDs for an 18W total output, it delivers a focused, high-intensity amber warning signal that helps protect workers, pedestrians, and other road users in and around active work zones. Amber warning lights are the primary warning colour for non-emergency response vehicles in the UK, with applications spanning highways maintenance, breakdown recovery, refuse collection, and roadworks - making compliance-ready amber lighting essential for commercial operators.
Rated to IP65, the HEL3398 provides complete dust-tight protection alongside resistance to low-pressure water jets from any direction - the standard recognised across the UK and Europe for dependable outdoor electrical equipment. Under BS 7671:2018 (the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations), IP65 is the established minimum for most exposed outdoor electrical installations, handling rain, hose spray, and wind-driven water without issue. This makes the HEL3398 a practical, regulation-aware choice for contractors and plant hire operators who need a warning light that performs reliably through the variable conditions of a British building site - from muddy groundworks to roadside maintenance operations. Its slim 155 x 33 x 34mm profile keeps mounting straightforward and unobtrusive on cabs, trailers, and equipment bodies alike.
