Product Overview

The Model 2006 Heavy Duty 3V LED Barricade Light is a premium work zone warning light featuring a yellow snap-lock co-polymer case with a breakaway internal candle and UV-stabilized amber lens. The breakaway candle design allows the light to separate cleanly on vehicle impact, reducing damage and enabling quick reassembly in the field. Operates in Type A (steady-burn), Type C (low-intensity flashing), and 3-way mode per MUTCD requirements. The battery-saving 3V system with built-in photocell runs on four vertically positioned D-cell batteries (not included), providing extended run time compared to 6V lantern battery systems. Standard mounting hardware included. Sold in a 10-pack (10 lights per order) at 20 lbs total shipping weight.

Expert Insights

The Model 2006 is the heavy-duty upgrade from the Model 400, designed for high-speed highway environments and extended deployment durations where reliability and impact resistance are critical. The breakaway internal candle is the key differentiator: when a vehicle strikes the barricade, the candle assembly separates from the base rather than shattering, allowing field crews to snap it back together and resume operation without replacing the entire unit. This dramatically reduces replacement costs on active highway projects. The 3V battery-saving technology uses four D-cell batteries positioned vertically for water drainage -- a significant advantage over 6V lantern batteries, which are heavier, more expensive, and provide shorter run times. The photocell activation ensures lights operate only during darkness, maximizing battery life to 500+ hours on flash mode with quality alkaline D-cells. The snap-lock co-polymer case is more impact-resistant and UV-stable than standard polypropylene. For highway-speed work zones per MUTCD Section 6F.83, use Type A steady mode on channelizing barricades and Type C flash mode on advance warning barricades. Position lights to face approaching traffic, ensuring the amber lens is visible from the maximum approach distance.

For night construction operations, emergency responders, and flagging crews: Barricade lights, strobe beacons, and LED batons provide critical visibility during low-light and nighttime work zone operations. Type A, B, C, and D warning lights meet MUTCD requirements for steady-burn, flashing, and 360-degree applications.

Battery management programs help you maintain hundreds of lights across multiple job sites without unexpected outages. Solar-powered options eliminate battery replacement entirely, reducing long-term operating costs for extended projects. LED batons give flaggers and emergency responders a high-visibility signaling tool that operates for 200+ hours per charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Model 2006 better than the Model 400?

The Model 2006 features a snap-lock co-polymer case (more impact-resistant than polypropylene), a breakaway internal candle that survives vehicle strikes, and 3V battery-saving technology using D-cells instead of a 6V lantern battery. It provides longer run time, better durability, and lower operating costs.

How does the breakaway candle work?

When a vehicle strikes the barricade, the internal candle assembly cleanly separates from the base housing rather than shattering. Field crews can snap the candle back into the base and the light resumes operation, eliminating the need to replace the entire unit after each impact.

What batteries does the Model 2006 use?

The Model 2006 uses four standard D-cell alkaline batteries positioned vertically. This design provides longer run time than 6V lantern batteries, costs less per battery change, and the vertical positioning allows water to drain away from the battery contacts.

How long do the batteries last?

With quality alkaline D-cell batteries and photocell activation (nighttime-only operation), expect approximately 500+ hours on flash mode and 250+ hours on steady mode. Actual life varies with battery brand, temperature, and flash rate.

Is the Model 2006 waterproof?

The snap-lock co-polymer case is designed for outdoor use in all weather conditions including rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. The vertically positioned battery compartment allows water drainage to prevent corrosion.

Can I use Model 400 and Model 2006 lights together in the same work zone?

Yes. Both lights produce the same MUTCD-compliant amber warning in Type A and Type C modes. You can mix models within a work zone without affecting compliance.

What Our Customers Say

Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.

  • ★★★★★

    "Night paving operations demand serious visibility. These barricade lights run all night on a single battery set and the amber LED output is intense — drivers slow down well in advance. We haven't had a single intrusion since adding them to our setup."

    — Frank DiNardo, Night Shift Foreman, Granite Construction

    ✅ Verified Buyer

  • ★★★★★

    "The LED baton is now standard issue for our department. Lightweight, super bright in all three modes — steady, flash, and waving — and it runs for hours. Directing traffic at accident scenes at night is so much safer now."

    — Officer Tamika Reynolds, State Highway Patrol

    ✅ Verified Buyer

  • ★★★★★

    "Switched to solar-powered barricade lights last year. No more sending crews out to change batteries every three days. They charge during the day and run all night — even through overcast Pacific Northwest winters. The maintenance savings alone justified the cost."
