Why Tower Lights Are Crucial In Industries?

Tower lights or stack lights are very commonly used equipment in industrial manufacturing and industrial processes. These lights are columnar in shape and feature several independent lights stacked on top of each other. There are five coloured lights present which are – red, green, yellow, blue, and also includes a sound module in some cases. These lights are called stack lights due to their stack orientation. Apart from stack lights, these lights are also called indicator lights, warning lights, industrial signal lights, and light towers.

The purpose of stack lights is to help the operators take necessary action at the right time. Stack lights or tower lights are used to provide status information to operators, technicians, supervisors, and other people who are engaged in the work. Sometimes, stack lights feature a sound module that produces a buzzer sound to alert the technicians, operators, and other personnel.

Some of the common features of tower lights are as follows –
