Expert Insights

The Model 400 is a reliable workhorse barricade light suitable for most standard work zone applications. The built-in photocell automatically activates the light at dusk and deactivates at dawn, conserving battery life and eliminating the need for field crews to manually switch lights on and off each day. Per MUTCD Section 6F.83, Type A steady-burn lights are required for channelizing devices that guide traffic through a work zone, while Type C low-intensity flashing lights are used for warning at advance positions. The 3-way switch allows you to select the appropriate mode for each barricade position. Mount lights on the top of A-Frame barricade legs or directly on barrier rails using the included hardware. Position the light facing approaching traffic for maximum visibility. The amber polycarbonate lens is UV-stabilized to prevent yellowing and maintain light output over extended outdoor deployments. For high-speed highway applications where maximum visibility is critical, consider the Model 2006 which offers enhanced durability with its snap-lock co-polymer case and breakaway internal candle that reduces damage from vehicle strikes.

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

How many lights come in one order?

This product is sold as a 10-pack. You receive 10 Model 400 LED Barricade Lights per order at the listed price.

What batteries does the Model 400 require?

The Model 400 uses a standard 6V lantern battery (not included). One battery powers the light for approximately 200-300 hours on flash mode and 100-150 hours on steady mode, depending on battery quality and ambient temperature.

What is the difference between Flash and Steady modes?

Flash mode (Type C per MUTCD) produces a low-intensity flashing amber light used for warning at advance barricade positions. Steady mode (Type A per MUTCD) produces a continuous amber light used for channelization devices that guide traffic through the work zone.

Does the photocell really save battery life?

Yes. The built-in photocell automatically turns the light on at dusk and off at dawn. This means the light only operates during the approximately 10-12 hours of darkness, effectively doubling or tripling the battery life compared to lights left on 24/7.

How does the Model 400 compare to the Model 2006?

The Model 400 is the standard-duty option with a polypropylene case and 6V power. The Model 2006 is the heavy-duty upgrade with a snap-lock co-polymer case, breakaway internal candle for impact resistance, and 3V battery-saving technology that uses four D-cell batteries instead of a lantern battery.

Can I mount this light on both A-Frame legs and barrier rails?

Yes. The included standard mounting hardware allows attachment to A-Frame barricade legs, barrier rails (both economy and I-beam), and most other traffic control devices with compatible mounting points.

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."
