{"product_id":"trilite-rf6-dc-rotating-beacon-lights","title":"TriLite RF6 DC Rotating Beacon Lights","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe TriLite RF6 is the full-size, heavy-duty member of the TriLite rotating beacon range. Twin sealed PAR36 bulbs at 35,000 candle power turn on a belt drive behind an 8.5 inch dome, on a heavy-duty anodized aluminum base.\u003cbr\u003eTriLite's current product page lists one model, the RF6-24P: 24 volts DC, permanent mount, 75 to 90 flashes per minute. A Magnetic Mount Kit is listed as available.\u003cbr\u003eDome colors are amber, blue, clear, green and red. At 9.5 inches high by 8.5 inches across and a 6 pound shipping weight, the RF6 sits in a different class from the compact beacons elsewhere in the catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the TriLite RF6 rotating beacon?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RF6 is a heavy-duty rotating beacon built around twin sealed PAR36 bulbs rated at 35,000 candle power. Sealed beam construction is the point here. The reflector and lens are part of the bulb, so the optics stay clean and the output holds up in dirty, wet or dusty conditions where an open reflector loses light. A belt drive turns the assembly, which runs quieter than a gear drive and leaves fewer parts to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat RF6 model does TriLite currently list?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne: the RF6-24P, a 24 volt DC permanent mount running 75 to 90 flashes per minute. That is what appears on the current TriLite product page, and it is the configuration to order against. Search results still carry legacy sales sheets and distributor listings pointing at 12 volt and magnetic RF6 builds, and buyer demand for those is real, but an indexed old catalog page is not a current stock confirmation. Ask before you commit a purchase order to anything outside the RF6-24P.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCan you get the RF6 with a magnetic mount?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTriLite lists a Magnetic Mount Kit as available for the RF6, which is a different thing from a factory magnetic model. The kit route suits a beacon that needs to move between machines or cover temporary work. The permanent mount suits a beacon that stays put, and given the RF6 weighs 6 pounds, a fixed mounting is worth the installation time on anything that vibrates or travels rough ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat dome colors does the RF6 come in?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive: amber, blue, clear, green and red. Amber is the general warning default. Clear gives the highest raw output, which pairs well with the sealed beam bulbs where distance matters. Blue, green and red are commonly used to separate zones or machine states. Color conventions vary by site and by jurisdiction, so confirm your own policy before you fix one across a site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the RF6 used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere a compact beacon would get lost. Large yards, outdoor equipment, heavy machinery, long sight lines and sites with high ambient light are what the twin PAR36 output is for. TriLite rates it for indoor or outdoor signaling, safety and warning applications, and it also works as a machine status light on plant big enough that a 5 inch beacon would not read from the far side of the bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRF6 or RF6L1: incandescent DC or LED AC?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferent technology and different supply. The RF6 is the incandescent DC rotating beacon family with sealed PAR36 bulbs. The RF6L1 is the LED AC rotating beacon in the same range. LED cuts current draw and stretches the replacement interval, which matters on a beacon running long hours. The RF6 stays the answer where the supply is DC or where you want sealed beam output. Check the RF6L1 page for its own specifications rather than assuming they carry across.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRotating, flashing or strobe: what is the difference?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rotating beacon turns a reflector, so the beam sweeps past and reads as movement. A flashing light switches a lamp on and off in place. A strobe discharges a short, high-energy burst. On open ground and at distance, a sweeping beam of this size is hard to miss. Flashing units cost less to run and maintain. Strobes hold up best against bright daylight. Pick by the site rather than by the specification sheet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SUPPLYOWL.COM","offers":[{"title":"RF6-24P \/ Permanent - 24 VDC - 75 to 90 Flash \/ Amber","offer_id":53915933475109,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RF6-24P \/ Permanent - 24 VDC - 75 to 90 Flash \/ Blue","offer_id":53915933507877,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RF6-24P \/ Permanent - 24 VDC - 75 to 90 Flash \/ Clear","offer_id":53915933540645,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RF6-24P \/ Permanent - 24 VDC - 75 to 90 Flash \/ Green","offer_id":53915933573413,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RF6-24P \/ Permanent - 24 VDC - 75 to 90 Flash \/ Red","offer_id":53915933606181,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RF6-24P \/ Magnetic - 24 VDC - 75 to 90 Flash \/ Amber","offer_id":53915933638949,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RF6-24P \/ Magnetic - 24 VDC - 75 to 90 Flash \/ Blue","offer_id":53915933671717,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RF6-24P \/ Magnetic - 24 VDC - 75 to 90 Flash \/ Clear","offer_id":53915933704485,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RF6-24P \/ Magnetic - 24 VDC - 75 to 90 Flash \/ Green","offer_id":53915933737253,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RF6-24P \/ Magnetic - 24 VDC - 75 to 90 Flash \/ Red","offer_id":53915933770021,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/8307\/8949\/files\/RF6L1-A-NEW__80449.webp?v=1790606665","url":"https:\/\/www.supplyowl.com\/products\/trilite-rf6-dc-rotating-beacon-lights","provider":"SUPPLYOWL.COM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
