eliminates the costly and hazardous annual tower climbs required for frequent
change out of Xenon tubes.

??In addition to long life and maintenance
savings, the new Vigilant Series L-856 High-Intensity Strobe is also offers an
energy efficiency advantage over conventional technology, operating at just 250W
in day mode (270,000 candela), under 30W in twilight mode (20,000 candela) and

of EMI/RFI compared to Xenon systems to minimize communication signals
interruption. The system features Dialight’s patented community-friendly optics
design to minimize light ground scatter, with a number of other patents filed.
