Key Features:
- LED Technology: Utilizes high-performance LED chips for bright, energy-efficient illumination with an estimated lifespan of over 50,000 hours. Each layer contains 9 LED chips distributed in three directions for 360-degree visibility.
- Durable Construction: Made from polycarbonate (PC) for the lampshades and aluminum for the pole, ensuring durability in industrial settings.
- Clear Visibility: Prism-cut PC lampshade lenses provide even light distribution, enhancing visibility from a distance.
- Modular Design: Consists of a light unit, an aluminum pole, and an L-bracket for flexible mounting options.

4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation and wiring of your signal tower light.
4.1 Mounting
The signal tower light can be mounted using the provided L-bracket or by drilling a suitable hole.
- L-Bracket Mounting: Attach the L-bracket to a stable vertical surface using appropriate fasteners (not included). Secure the signal light's pole to the L-bracket using the provided nut and washer.
- Direct Mounting (without L-bracket): If not using the L-bracket, drill a mounting hole with a diameter of approximately 18-20mm (0.7-0.8 inches) in the desired surface. Insert the threaded end of the pole through the hole and secure it with the provided nut and washer.

4.2 Wiring (DC 12V)
This model operates on DC 12V power. Refer to the wiring diagram below for correct connections. The device supports common anode or common cathode configurations.
Image 4.2: DC Power Wiring Diagram for LUBAN Tower Light. This diagram illustrates the wire connections for the DC 12V model, showing specific colors for the red, yellow, and green lights, and the common power line (grey).
Wire Color Code:
- Grey: Common Power Line (GND or +12V, depending on common anode/cathode setup)
- Red: Red Light Segment
- Yellow: Yellow Light Segment
- Green: Green Light Segment
Important: Connect the appropriate power (DC 12V) to the common line and individual light wires to activate each segment. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
5. Operating Instructions
The LUBAN Industrial Warning Signal Tower Light functions as a visual indicator. Each colored segment can be independently controlled by applying power to its respective wire.
5.1 Light Indications
The standard color assignments for industrial signaling are as follows:
- Red Light: Typically indicates a critical condition, such as an emergency stop, machine fault, or immediate danger.
- Yellow Light: Generally signifies a warning, caution, or abnormal condition, such as over-temperature, over-pressure, or a process hold.
- Green Light: Indicates normal operation, safe conditions, or a completed process.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your signal tower light.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the lampshade with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the polycarbonate material.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the wiring for any signs of wear, fraying, or loose connections. Check the mounting hardware to ensure it remains secure.
- LED Lifespan: The LED chips have a long operational life. Replacement of individual LEDs is generally not required under normal operating conditions.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your signal tower light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light segment does not illuminate | No power to the unit; Incorrect wiring for the specific segment; Faulty LED segment. | Verify DC 12V power supply is connected and active. Check wiring connections against the diagram (Image 4.2). Ensure the common line and the specific color wire are correctly connected. If wiring is correct, the LED segment may require replacement. |
| All lights are off | No power to the unit; Common power line disconnected. | Check the main power supply to the unit. Ensure the grey common power line is securely connected. |
| Light is dim or flickers | Insufficient power supply; Loose wiring connection. | Confirm the power supply provides stable DC 12V. Inspect all wiring connections for looseness and secure them. |
