LS-68 Aluminum Solar Highway Reflective Marker: Combining Passive and Active Light for Enhanced Road Safety and EN1463-3 Compliance

Introduction:

Key Features:

1. Durable and Low-Profile Design:

   • Material: Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum and polycarbonate, the LS-68 is designed to withstand the elements while maintaining durability in harsh environments.
   • Size: With a diameter of 165mm and a height of 48.3mm, the LS-68’s embedded design ensures that it remains flush with the road surface, reducing the risk of damage from snow plows and vehicles.
   • Weight Capacity: The LS-68 can withstand up to 50,000 pounds of pressure, making it ideal for areas with heavy traffic and extreme conditions.

2. Efficient Solar Panel for Active Light:

   • Equipped with a 0.8W 5.5V solar panel, the LS-68 ensures efficient charging and energy storage. The device requires charging only once every 60 days, providing reliable functionality without frequent maintenance.
   • The integrated solar technology powers the LED lighting, ensuring the marker remains visible at all times, day or night, regardless of weather conditions.

3. Advanced LED Lighting with Multiple Modes:

   • Passive Light (Retroreflective Performance): The LS-68 features a retroreflective surface that complies with the EN 1463-3 standard, reflecting headlights from vehicles to increase visibility in low-light conditions without using the battery power.
   • Active Light (LED Lighting): The LS-68 comes with double-sided LEDs (1-5 leds per side,can choose), ensuring optimal visibility from both directions. The marker supports three lighting modes:
     • Flashing Mode: For dynamic, high-visibility lighting in traffic zones.
     • Synchronous Flashing Mode: Enhances safety by ensuring multiple markers flash in sync, perfect for highway use.
     • Steady Lighting Mode: Provides continuous illumination for constant guidance.
   • Lighting Colors: Available in red, yellow, blue, green, and white (with options for warm white or cool white), the LS-68 can be customized to fit specific traffic control needs.
   • Visibility Angles: The LEDs provide optimal light output for increased visibility, ensuring the marker can be seen from a distance and under various driving conditions.

4. Robust and Weatherproof Performance:

   • Waterproof Rating: With an IP68 waterproof rating, the LS-68 is built to withstand heavy rain, snow, and other harsh weather conditions, ensuring reliable performance year-round.
   • Temperature Tolerance: The marker operates efficiently in temperatures from -40°C to 70°C, making it suitable for use in both cold and hot climates.

5. Embedded Design for Protection and Durability:

   • Low Profile: The embedded design of the LS-68 allows it to sit approximately 11.5mm above the road surface, reducing the likelihood of damage from snow shovels, road debris, or vehicle impacts.
   • Durability: The corrosion-resistant aluminum and polycarbonate construction ensure the marker maintains its integrity even in the most demanding environments.

6. Compliance with Industry Standards:

   • EN 1463-3 Compliance: The LS-68 meets the EN 1463-3 standard, ensuring that both its retroreflective properties and LED brightness meet or exceed required visibility standards, providing enhanced safety for road users.

Applications:

• Highways and Major Roads: Enhancing visibility for drivers, especially in areas with high traffic volume and challenging weather conditions.
• Urban Streets and Pedestrian Zones: Offering clear guidance for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles, ensuring safer urban spaces.
• Parking Lots and Airport Runways: Providing effective visibility and traffic management in non-roadway environments.
• Cold Weather Areas: Ideal for use in locations where snowplows and severe weather conditions are a concern.
