    • Snap together waterproof electrical connections
    • Fits 10″ Composite and 14″ Steel Snow plow Resistant Base Plates
    • Operates on solar and/or AC power 

    IRWL Applications

    IRWL is primarily used to alert motorists of pedestrians inside or about to enter a crosswalk using amber LEDs, a controlled stop ahead using red LEDs, and lane delineation markers using white LEDs. Typical environments for amber LEDs include: 

    • mid-block uncontrolled public crosswalks
    • school zones
    • trail crossings
    • facility entrances/exits, such as airports and hospitals

    IRWL Activation Methods

    IRWL can be activated via push-buttons, passive pedestrian detection bollards, and motion-activated sensors. Once activated, the light fixtures flash, warning motorists up to 1,000 feet in advance.


    IRWL Mounting

    • Lightstar easily connects to the electrical cable system wires with water resitant splices. The interior of the light fixture unit is designed with double redundancy, isolating the sealed LED modules from environmental moisture and corrosive intrusion.

    Debris-Free Self Clearing

    • DuraFlash is designed to fit tightly into the protective base plate, containing a Debris-Free Self Clearing built-in feature. Fluted air channels push air up and away as tires pass over the base plate, keeping the LED light fixture free from debris build-up.
    • The slight elevation of the IRWL fixture positioned above the road grade is further intended to help alleviate any blockage by debris. Its shallow 1-1/2″ depth ensures that the subsurface roadbed is not compromised. 

    Enlighten1™ Flash Rate — Photosensitive Epilepsy Safe

    • Our Enlighten1™ flash rate reaches a primitive part of the brain that elicits a response to danger. It was developed in conjunction with the University of California, Berkeley Vision Detection Laboratory and designed to catch the motorists' attention without creating any unwanted adverse effects flashing lights might have on photosensitive epilepsy.
    • According to the Epilepsy Foundation of America, exposure to flashing lights at specific intensities or certain visual patterns can trigger seizures in 3 percent of people with epilepsy. This condition is known as photosensitive epilepsy. Enlighten1 is a public safety feature unique to LightGuard Systems' flashing LED warning products. 

    IRWL Crosswalk Installation

    • When installing IRWL at crosswalks, each IRWL faces away from the crosswalk and points in the direction of oncoming motorists' (NOT straight forward). The result is a slightly different, uniquely pointed angle for each IRWL.
    • Before installation, the proposed IRWL site should be observed with particular attention to vehicle tire paths. As per Section 4N.05 & .06 of the MUTCD, IRWLs should be installed in each traffic lane, at the centerline of the roadway, at each edge of the road, or parking lanes, or other suitable locations away from the average tire track paths. The location of the IRWLs within the lanes should be based on engineering judgment. For additional information, refer to our published IRWL layouts. 

    Warranty & Maintenance

    • LightGuard Systems offers a three-year conditional warranty on its in-roadway warning light fixtures and five years on its base plates. Maintenance includes removing four bolts electrically disconnect and lifting the fixture out of the base plate. Our IRWL fixtures are designed for 100% backward compatibility with any older generation base plate models.

    The Gateway Bollard System – Invented by LightGuard Systems®

    • The crosswalk entry ‘gateway’ is created by two opposing bollards, installed at least 1.5’ – 4’ (feet) from the curb and as wide as possible at the crosswalk entrance. As pedestrians enter the crosswalk, passing between the two bollards, infrared light beams detect their presence and automatically activate the system. Due to this, no pedestrian action is required. Bollards activate Smart Crosswalk™ in-roadway warning lights (IRWLs), LED border-enhanced warning signs, and RRFBs.
    • The T6 & T6L Bollard infrared light beams are directionally sensitive and activate only as pedestrians enter the crosswalk. Subsequently, no pedestrian action is required. T6 Bollards (40 foot range) & T6L Bollards (100 foot range) contain vandal-resistant stainless steel fasteners, and user-adjustable sensor orientation and sensitivity levels. BlockSafe™, a feature of the FailSafe™ system, ensures continuous operation—even if the infrared light beam between two bollards is blocked. FailSafe™, our proprietary default operating mode, triggers a blinking pattern that remains on until the system signal or blockage notice is cleared.

    NightGuide™ Crosswalk Entrance Lighting

    • NightGuide™ contains an internally illuminated LED module—providing a courtesy light that “invites” pedestrians to a safer place to cross the street. NightGuide™ is continuously on both night & day.

    Compatibility

    • The new T6 & T6L Bollards are compatible with all Smart Crosswalk™ system components, LED lights, solar systems, controllers, RRFB’s, radar, and other wireless ITS systems. It offers its most total capabilities to customers using the complete Smart Crosswalk™ In-Roadway Warning Light pedestrian safety system with flashing LED signs.

    Applications

    • Because of its automatic activation and the fact that it is virtually impervious to false activation, the T6 & T6L Bollards are an ideal solution for public crosswalk safety at cities, airports, school zones, parking garages, campuses, airports, and private facilities. 
    • It is sold as an automatic activation method option along with Smart Crosswalk™ In-Roadway Warning Light systems, flashing LED signs, solar and wireless sign systems, and other pedestrian safety products offered by LightGuard System.

  • System Controllers

    AC & Solar Lighted Crosswalk System Controllers – from LightGuard Systems®

    Controllers function as the “brain” of the Smart Crosswalk lighted crosswalk system. Users can set up and adjust the activation timing of the flashing LED lights, monitor the system, capture data, and more. A fail-safe feature automatically warns users of any system malfunction.


    Our controllers are available in AC, solar, and wireless solar operation and accept activation signals from manual push-button devices and passive pedestrian detection devices such as bollards, remote activation devices (RADs), and motion detection sensors. Automatic pedestrian detectors only initiate the flashing sequence as pedestrians enter the crosswalk, not as they are exiting.


    When the system controller is activated, it sends a signal to the system, initiating the Enlighten 1™, wig-wig (RRFB), or custom flash pattern of in-roadway warning lights (IRWL), flashing LED border-enhanced warning signs, and/or RRFBs.


    Advanced AC & Solar Controllers

    • Our advanced AC and Solar controllers can monitor and store data, such as time, date, and movement in each crosswalk direction. They can be programmed to turn on automatically at a specific time and then revert to standby mode for regular operation. They also have instantaneous backup power in the event of a power failure.
    • The advanced controller accepts call signal inputs from manual pedestrian push-button devices and automatic activation detectors (bollards, motion sensors, and other external inputs). Once activated, the Enlighten1™ flashing light pattern is emitted by the in-pavement warning lights, and any additional LED enhanced signage.
    • The advanced controller can also be enhanced to accommodate additional pedestrian safety measures such as simultaneous yet independently activated crosswalks (dual zones), remote communication, and custom-based applications.

    Advanced Controller Features:

    • battery powered (solar sysetms)
    • Stand-alone solar panel (solar systems)
    • pole or wall mount Aluminum enclosure
