BJ

Tunnel lighting
LED guidance beacon
APPLICATIONS
In normal conditions: visual guidance for motorists.
In case of fire: efficient guidance for motorists or pedestrians
and emergency services, even through smoke.

ADVANTAGES
Thanks to its 12 LEDs on either side, the BJ guidance beacon acts as a visual guide
both in normal conditions and when there is smoke due to a fire.
A direct 230 V power supply is also possible in which case a transformer is integrated.

No maintenance whatsoever
Very long-lasting diodes (LEDs)
High tightness level (IP 67) during the whole lifetime of the
guidance beacon
Very high level of protection against corrosion due to a specific treatment, identical to the one applied to luminaires
Resistance to impacts and vibrations
Compact
Non-electrostatic material
Washable with a high pressure jet with no risk of deterioration

DESCRIPTION
The beacon in die cast aluminium includes two sealed windows in polycarbonate or tempered glass, as well as two cir-

cuits each including 12 amber, blue or green LEDs.

The beacon is mounted with stainless steel screws.
Electricity is supplied either by a cable and socket, or by a
compression gland, or by connectors on the back of the beacon.
Optional: in the case of a 230V direct power supply, the device
is provided with a box containing the transformer. In this case,
the two screws used to mount the beacon allow access to the
box. Electricity is supplied via a compression gland.
A second compression gland can be installed permitting a
looped feed.
