BlinkerSigns with flashing Light
Emitting Diodes (LEDs) recharge with sunlight for installation
anywhere, independent of any power source. Low power usage enables
signs to run 24/7 and up to 10 days or more in fully clouded
conditions. Wiring and circuitry are sealed within
weather-protected aluminum housings. Can interface with traffic
control devices, including push buttons, timer clocks, and loop
detectors. Signs feature reflective 3M sheeting on aluminum and are
fitted with matching-color, ultra-bright LEDs that flash
simultaneously at 60 times per min., extending visibility range up
to 2 miles. Effective under all weather and ambient light
conditions. Can be programmed to operate autonomously, from dusk to
dawn, and during low-light conditions. Automatically reduce
nighttime brightness so drivers can still see sign’s message.
Install at hazardous stop-sign locations; school zones, crossings,
and bus stops; pedestrian crossings; fire station ingress;
dangerous curves; railroad crossings; foggy areas; limited
visibility entrances and crossings; construction zones; and more.
BlinkerPaddles for school and work zones are available. Conform
with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) specifications as
stipulated by the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD). Traffic and
Parking Control Co. (TAPCO), Inc., Elm Grove, WI
