A bigger, brighter tower light indicator is available as modular segments or pre-assembled with the flexibility to customize as needed and change positions in the field.
- Big, bright 70mm tower lights appear gray when off to eliminate false indication from ambient light and are visible at long distances
- Modular IP65 design gives the user flexibility to customize functionality and install in many environments
- RGB14 color segments can be configured to display any one of 14 standard colors, making it easy to create custom indication solutions and simplify stock requirements
- Multicolor segments in two- and three- color models switch between colors based on changes in input status
- Selectable rates of flashing and strobing for each segment allow customization for your application beyond the default solid ON condition
- Top-mounted audible segments available in tone selectable models from 75 – 101 dB, multitone models that enable a unique tone for four status conditions, and programmable models that emit a user created custom alert or announcement
- Wireless options, including bases and segments, facilitate installation and enable remote monitoring and control
- One base supports up to six single function segments, or select combinations of multifunction and single segments
- Match your machine with a choice of black or gray housing
- User-friendly operation with just a few easy steps to complete installation

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: How many light segments can be used in the TL70 tower light? How many audible segments can be used?
Answer: The TL70 tower light can have up to 6 light segments, or 5 light segments and an audible.
Question: How many audible tones can a single TL70 tower light produce? Can you have different audible tones in the same segment?
Answer: Only one audible alarm segment can be used per tower light. There are 4 different audible alarms available for the TL70 tower lights, some of which are capable of having different tones (Multi-Tone Audible and Programmable Audible).
Question: How loud are the audible tones?
Answer: The audibles will vary in loudness from 75-101 dB; 75 dB is similar in loudness to a vacuum cleaner, and 101 dB is similar to a jackhammer.
Question: How bright are the LEDs in the TL70 Tower Light?
Answer: The brightness of the LEDs depends on the color. Below are the lumen output levels of each color (typically at 25 °C):
- Green: 92
- Red: 40
- Yellow: 22
- Blue: 32
- White: 125
- Orange: 33
Question: What is the lifespan of the LEDs? Can you replace burnt LEDs?
Answer: The lifespan of the LEDs is over 50,000 hours. It is extremely rare to burn out LEDs; it is much more likely that the light will be damaged before the LEDs burn out. It is not possible to replace individual LEDs, however, it is possible to replace individual light segments (see datasheet for model numbers).
Question: Can the TL70 Tower Light be seen outside in direct sunlight?
Answer: One of the major benefits of the TL70 tower light is that the light segments appear gray when they are not lit up; this allows for reliable visibility when the tower light is used in outdoor applications.
Question: How do you make the tower light segments flash?
Answer: Each tower light segment is capable of flashing. Dip switches 7 and 8 on the segments determine if the segment will be solid, flashing at 1.5 Hz, or flashing at 3 Hz.

Application Notes
Call for Parts, Service, or Pallet Pickup
Increase efficiency using a wireless call-for-parts/service/pickup system
Wireless Call for Parts
A system of Banner’s TL70 wireless modular tower lights and K50 touch buttons provides an efficient, easy way to communicate a call for more parts with a forklift driver. When a workstation is almost out of cartons, the operator touches the ergonomic K50 touch button which changes the status on the connected TL70 wireless tower light to red.
Machine Monitoring/Overall Equipment Effectiveness
Remotely monitor your assets and gain access to previously unavailable data.
Machine Status Indication with Highly Visible, Bright Light
With a big, bright design, the TL70 Modular Tower Light provides extremely bright and uniform light to indicate machine status. The highly visible tower light enables better visual management by allowing operators to quickly check machine status and constantly monitor machine processes.
Wirelessly Monitoring Machine Status
Banner’s TL70 wireless tower light combines high visibility indication with wireless communication, providing at-a-glance status indication and connecting the light to other devices without ahy cable runs.
Warehouse Vehicle Detection with Indication
Vehicle detection at loading docks is complicated because sensing solutions are exposed to the elements and need to recognize a wide variety of surfaces. Rugged ultrasonic sensors work well to accurately detect the surfaces of delivery vehicles regardless of the material. Pairing with bright LED indication creates unmistakable operator guidance.
Optimizing Equipment Effectiveness with Remote Monitoring
Provide instant visual communication across a busy plant floor.
Monitor Fill Level of Liquid in Mobile Drum
The K50U wireless ultrasonic sensor was designed specifically as a non-contact level monitoring solution. Monitoring the levels of epoxy in drums during refill alerts staff of potential overflows before they become a problem.
Predictive Maintenance for Crane Motors and Gearboxes
Wireless products enable predictive maintenance in the port industry. Motors and gearboxes on cranes are prone to high vibration and temperature which can cause them to degrade. Predictive maintenance allows employees to interfere and solve problems before they completely fail and cause unplanned downtime and lost profit.
