Why choose a Barlo Strobe Enhanced Traffic Signal?

The Barlo Safety Beam traffic signal system has been designed to enhance the normal illuminated red or amber section of the signal. This is sometimes necessary because of intense background lighting (visual noise), obstructed approaches, intersections that have activities that distract the drivers attention, obscure rail-road crossings, wrong-way warnings and high speed approaches that tends to deceive the drivers perception of distance. Research claims that everyone is blind to the color red when it is displayed in a position twenty degrees or greater from their direct line of vision. If a motorist attention is distracted to the side while the light turns red, they may not see that change. It has been proven that a flashing light is an irritant to the mind, which causes the eyes to turn towards the flash. This is why the aircraft industry uses strobe lights as anti-collision devices on all airplanes and taxiways. This is why the Barlo is very useful tool in reducing traffic accidents.

Configuration

The Barlo light is available in several configurations.
The most common is when the red interval is active the Strobe pulses approximately 60 times a minute (1 time per sec) for the duration of that interval.
In red or amber section of a Flashing Signal indicating a dangerous intersection or a four-way stop. (must be correctly ordered to be used in flasher operation)
In the amber section to warn the motorist that the signal is soon changing to red. This must be ordered with the 120 per min approximate flash rate.

Discharge-disconnect option: This option will disconnect the AC power and discharge the high voltage supply when the colored lens is removed. This feature gives the service technician added protection from accidental shock.
