LED Flashing STOP Signs Help Motorists at Intersections

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

LED flashing stop signs help motorists at intersections because they alert motorists to stop signs they may not otherwise have seen.  These solar signs, which use the sun’s energy instead of generators, save cities and municipalities untold thousands of dollars each year in maintenance fees, gas fees and in the lives they save by alerting drivers to an upcoming stop sign.

Solar powered stop signs have four flashing LED lights surrounding the word STOP so that motorist’s attention will be drawn to the flashing lights. Therefore, they will receive the stop sign and are better prepared to stop at the upcoming intersection. 

LED safety signs are not only reserved for stop signs, there are LED safety signs for railroad crossings, school crossings, heavy equipment crossings, pedestrian crossings, deer crossings and yield signs at intersections and entrances and exits to the highway.  There are also special made LED safety signs for construction, businesses, and schools that have special needs when it comes to their parking lots or construction yards.

LED flashing stop signs draw the motorists’ attention to the stop sign better than a regular stop sign would, especially on residential streets or busy downtown areas where there is a lot going on and it’s hard to see whether or not there is a stop sign.  Law enforcement praises LED flashing stop signs because they have helped save many people from running stop signs and causing unnecessary accidents, many that lose lives and many that could have been prevented.

Safety Signs Designed to Increase Visibility, Decrease Accidents

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

If you own a construction business, a heavy equipment machine shop or any type of business where heavy equipment such as cement trucks or dump trucks are crossing where people tend to walk, then several solar signs would be a good idea to increase visibility of the heavy equipment and decrease accidents.

A solar powered stop sign, with LED flashing lights, draws attention to the stop sign better than a regular stop sign without the flashing lights.  Since the stop sign is solar powered, there is no need for a generator or any other type of electricity running to the stop sign. This saves a company thousands of dollars each year.

Having a solar powered safety sign at every intersection or crosswalk in your construction yard can help save many lives.  The solar powered safety signs have four flashing LED lights that draw attention to what the safety signs are saying.  These signs will help catch the attention of people when they are not paying attention to their surroundings, especially when trucks are passing by.

A solar sign even works on a cloudy day for up to 12 hours continuously flashing LED lights using only the sun’s power.  These solar safety signs are water resistant, so they work in the rain and basically all types of weather.  A company has even designed solar powered safety lights to be used alongside the solar powered safety signs.  These solar safety lights can be used anywhere light is needed, such as a construction site or to glide up under the hood of a car and are just as durable and bright as the solar signs.

Solar Gas Detectors Perfect for Airport Applications

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

 Solar gas detectors and solar safety signs can be found in and around airports to help keep workers and travelers safe.  A solar gas detector is perfect for an airport application because of all the different toxins airplanes give off from their engines, some even while idling and others give off fumes just after shutdown. 

It is important to have solar gas detectors and safety signs for the employees and passengers at the airport to warn them of any possible accidents.  Solar gas detectors do not need costly generators that may contain gas or diesel fuels and therefore are cleaner for the environment.  Solar gas detectors will alert employees in case of the gas leak that could be harmful to airport employees or an airport traveler before the leak becomes hazardous to their health.

Solar signs use the sun’s energy to run LED flashing lights so that more people are aware of the safety signs and pay attention to them better than a regular safety sign with no flashing lights.

The combination of solar safety signs and solar gas detectors are perfect for the airport because of their portability, safety warning capabilities that could save lives when detecting gas and stopping accidents where safety signs with the LED flashing lights are placed.  The airport has hundreds of places that could benefit from solar gas detectors, such as the airplane maintenance area as well as luggage and passenger check-in areas in case of terrorist attack by lethal gases. The safety signs can be placed throughout the airport, both indoors and outdoors, to warn workers and passengers of potential dangers from oncoming golf carts, luggage carriers, and other heavy equipment.

Solar Light Towers save Energy, Money

Solar light towers save energy by not having to have a portable light fixture plugged in to an outlet; in a construction situation this could be a hazard to workers.  A solar sign and a solar powered portable light fixture also eliminate the need for diesel or gas driven generators, which saves your company thousands of dollars per year.  In addition, without the cost of maintenance to a generator, there is no down time for your construction or workers.  Also, noise pollution is completely eliminated.

 

A solar light tower, combined with the solar safety sign, can give your company the peace of mind needed to continue operating in a safe and effective manner.  A solar light tower uses the sun’s rays to produce up to 12 hours of continuous operation.  Using a solar light tower saves money as well as energy if you are using the sun’s energy instead of electricity to keep the lights burning brightly.

 

Solar light towers can be used at construction sites, in machine shops, at auto mechanics shops, and even in your own backyard.  Anywhere there is light needed and no electricity or you wish to save electricity, a solar light tower can be used.  An LED flashing safety sign announcing the use of the solar light tower can be placed near the solar light towers so that people know they are there when they see the flashing lights.  Having the LED flashing safety signs draws attention to whatever wording is on the signs, in addition to people’s attention to safety concerns.

 

Many of the solar light towers are shocked and vibration resistant, making them perfect for any type of construction or power plants work area.  The solar light towers are also made with a portable 36” steel base making them practically indestructible.  They also come with a five year warranty from the manufacturer.

Making Your Work Zone Safe with Solar Safety Signs

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

There are several types of solar signs. Some industrial sites use plant turnaround signs that help prevent accidents and improve traffic flow. A solar powered stop sign through an industrial area or other work area can help to keep it accident free. There are many signs such as the high voltage area sign, overhead crane, and toxic vapor warnings, caution signs for equipment, which warn workers of these potential dangers.    These signs are used in petrochemical, industrial, and commercial areas to prevent workers from getting into different types of accidents on the job. These signs are made for industrial use, and are made to DOT specifications and OSHA requirements.  There are other advantages to these safety signs. They don’t require maintenance like signs powered through electric cables. It keeps costs down because these signs don’t need expensive cables and they minimize roadwork, therefore, saving the company money. They are resistant to wind and hail; they utilize temperature compensation.  All of these safety signs are keeping the work place safe because they warn of potential danger to the employees. Their source of power is much safer than traditional flashing signs. If there are any cables that could fall or become frayed or any other way that could cause a worker to get electrocuted. The flashing traffic signs throughout a plant site are a safer way to conduct traffic through and keep accidents down. They will help to make the work place safer on sunny, foggy, and cloudy days. On top of it, hey flash day and night, 24 hours a day to keep workers safe.
