Federal Signal VALS-120R Red Strobe Warning Light

The Federal Signal VALS-120R is a surface-mount warning light that uses a red strobe tube powered by 120V AC. It produces 108,000 candela at 80 flashes per minute for high-visibility signalling. The polycarbonate housing and screw-on dome lens carry an IP44 and NEMA 3R rating for outdoor use. Operating temperature spans -31 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

Replaces rotating beacons or lower-output flashers

This unit upgrades installations that need a compact, maintenance-light strobe with a 4,000-hour lamp life and only 0.06A current draw. The jump is worth it when a fixed-mount, AC-powered beacon must fit a 4-inch by 4-inch footprint with a 1-5/8-inch depth. It is not suited for mobile DC systems, portable battery packs or locations requiring programmable flash patterns.

Verify 120V AC supply and surface-mount clearance

Confirm the circuit provides 120V AC and can accommodate the 0.06A load on a standard wire connection. Ensure the mounting surface accepts the 4-inch width and height with 1-5/8-inch depth behind the lens. Check that the ambient range of -31 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit covers the installation site and that the IP44 rating satisfies local enclosure requirements.

Questions about this item

What are the mounting requirements for the 4 inch wide polycarbonate housing?

The unit is designed for surface mounting with a width of 4 inches, depth of 1 5/8 inches, and height of 4 inches; ensure the mounting surface can accommodate these dimensions and the 0.3 weight.

How do I install the warning light to maintain the IP44 and NEMA 3R ratings?

Connect the 120V AC power source wires to the unit and secure the screw-on polycarbonate dome; the common error is leaving the dome loose, which compromises the ingress protection.

When should the strobe tube be replaced given the 4,000 hour lamp life?

Plan replacement after 4,000 hours of operation; monitor flash intensity and replace the tube if output diminishes before the rated life is reached.
