M180SL& M180LMC directional LEDs are bright and versatile 180
degree warning light and work light that are suited to a wide variety
of applications. Their triple stack design offers approximately 3
times the light output of the popular M180S series. Their
low prole design coupled with multiple mounting options
(surface, edge, self-adhesive and permanent) and 30
degrees of adjustable pivoting, provide superior exibiltiy
when positioning the lights for optimum warning capability.
Both models offer multiple ash patterns and multiple units
can be synchronized to operate either simultaneously or
alternately with each other.
Available in solid colors: M180L-X (A,B,R,W)
dual colors: M180LMC-XX (BA, RA, AW, BW, RW, RB)
