I don't want to say this light tower has foolproof wiring but it's pretty close. While the wiring diagram seems to be universal for a line of products - showing 7 wires with 6 possible outputs whereas this version only has 5 wires for 4 outputs - it covers all the bases for the design. A nice little extra perk is that the wiring diagram included with the lights has a tacky backing strip - think strong sticky note - that you can tag the wire and avoid losing the diagram in the future.In terms of actual setup I particularly like that as long as you are properly connecting the "common" black wire to your power source, you don't need to worry too much about reverse polarity problems as the signal lines are set up to power PNP or NPN transistors to control the lights/buzzer. This worked just fine with the common cathode (-) or common anode (+) wiring. Not a lot of current draw - .01A to .03A draw depending on the signal used. These aren't 1W lights, so don't expect super bright but clearly visible in my well-lit workspace. Lights used inside the tube are basically double-sided LED strip lighting.The biggest downside is the relatively high voltage needed. A lot of the electronics I've been working with tend to use a 12v signal or less, so while 24v isn't out of reach (especially if you are already working with some LED light strips), you need to think about your power supplies if you're using Arduinos/Raspberry Pis or other variants of MCUs and single board computers. There are activation voltages between ~10V to ~15V depending on what color and lights you are trying to turn on. All the lights seemed to be close to full brightness around an 18v signal but don't rely on these to turn on with common 12v power supplies. You can of course power all signals in parallel and have them work together.It would be nice if the kit was a bit more complete - such as screws that fit in the mounting plate or tinned wire leads but overall this works as advertised and could be useful from safety features in a shop to DIY CNC equipment to components for a puzzle in an escape room.

This is a very good looking unit that is well made and just looks like quality, with a modern and sleek look. It has a nice mount that is adjustable. Hooked up 24 volts from my power supply and each light works perfectly. I would not call them super bright, but they are more than bright enough. Buzzard makes an annoying sound, but it works.They do give you a wiring diagram, but thankfully the wire color is enough to hook it up. Each light has a matching color wire. I really like that because I can't say I'll always know where the diagram is. So smart on their part.Only reason for one star off is the price. While it is well made, it's a light, with a buzzard, so seems a little high in price to me. Course this is only my opinion.I plan to use this with my dust collector automation, hopefully to light when the barrel gets full. Just need to figure out how to make that work. Wish me luck. Would be perfect for this application though.Works perfectly, and if you are okay with the price, would recommend. I do like it.

These lights have been around for the last 30 years, and whenever I saw one, I always wished I had one. I don't know what it was. It just looked nice and was a great way to announce to everyone what state the machine was in. Here was my chance to get my hands on one. So I went for it.First, the Amazon specs on this light is great. For example, we have certifications CE and IP40. There are safety considerations for this sort of device for use in Europe, and evidently, it meets those standards, hence the CE marking. IP40 means 4 - restricted intrusion > 1 mm 0.039 in Most wires, slender screws, large ants etc. 0 - does not prevent water intrusion.The material is Synthetic Polymer (PMMA), Polycarbonate. I'm not convinced the housing is made of this material. Poly (methyl methacrylate) is the scientific name for the synthetic polymer commonly known as acrylic, acrylic glass, and plexiglass. When not modified it is brittle, transparent, and lightweight. It transmits light and when modified it is available in a wide range of color casting options, textures, and forms. But then again, who am I to argue?This light is rated at 24VDC. I could pull that voltage down to 21 before the red light turned off. so 21VDC is the minimum. The whole assembly can be taken apart with a twist at various sections. Be careful. The lights are LED strips.The buzzer is a high tone and faint. I'm profoundly deaf and had to put on my hearing aids to sense it.Tried to look up the manufacturer and the part number's popularity. Seems it's only sold on Amazon, and I couldn't find the manufacturer's web site.This is a lightweight, clean environment signal light tower. I wouldn't use it in environments such as machine shops.
