The FW962R/W Horn Strobes and FW982R/W Strobes are a family of multi-candela visual and audible signal appliances with light sources generated from white LED, listed according to UL 1971, UL 1638, UL 464, ULC-S525 and ULC-S526 for indoor use. The LED light source offers superior performance, including low power consumption and long operating life. Six levels of light output are selectable. Figure 1 shows relative light outputs in horizontal and vertical dispersion from strobes mounted on walls/ceilings.
