General Description
AGB02 Fire Strobe Light utilizes super bright LEDs which generates a
high-intensity light, visible from all sides of the lens to provide a visible
notification signal for the purpose of life safety and property protection.
It is ideal to be installed at hotels, apartments, hospitals, commercial
buildings, residential buildings, shopping malls or wherever visible
alarms are required.
Having considered power saving for the fire alarm system, we adopted
the best quality LEDs, which consume less current while maintaining
the brightness comparable to the traditional Xenon strobe does.
Besides, customers can also save on material costs by slashing the
battery and the battery charger size. For facilitating the wiring work,
our strobes can achieve self synchronization through power cables
and no additional signal cables or equipment are required.

The designer must be sure that the last de

. When calculating
the

ailable to the last device, it is necessary to consider the v

The thicker the wir

the less

ally,
for purposes of determining the wir

the s

vices as “lumped”
on the end
of the supply cir
cuit (simulates “wor
