Talkaphone 120VAC LED Blue Light
The Talkaphone 120VAC LED Blue Light, Model ETP-EL, is a purpose-built outdoor beacon designed to grab attention where visibility matters most. This 120-volt system is engineered to stay continuously lit, delivering a steady blue beacon that catches the eye in daylight and darkness alike. When integrated with Talkaphone call stations or compatible third-party devices that provide a dry contact closure or relay output, the light automatically switches to a high-visibility flash, signaling an active alert or incoming call. Built for outdoor environments, the ETP-EL combines reliability, clear signaling, and easy integration to support safety, security, and critical communication needs across campuses, industrial sites, parking lots, transit hubs, and entry points. In short, it’s a trusted visual alert system that complements Talkaphone communication solutions by turning attention into rapid response.
- Durable outdoor-rated design and weatherproof construction: The ETP-EL beacon is purposefully engineered for exterior use, with a rugged housing designed to withstand sun, rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations. Its continuous illumination provides an always-on signal that remains legible across varied lighting conditions, helping staff and visitors locate a staffed station or point of contact quickly. This resilience reduces maintenance downtime and supports long-term performance in high-traffic outdoor environments.
- Smart integration with Talkaphone systems and third-party devices: The LED blue light is engineered to work in harmony with Talkaphone call stations and other devices that deliver a dry contact closure or relay output. When triggered by a Talkaphone system or compatible equipment, the beacon flashes to indicate an active call or alert, providing an intuitive, universal cue that understands across devices and locations. This seamless interoperability helps security teams coordinate responses without complex configuration.
- Continuous illumination plus responsive flashing for clear visibility: By default, the beacon remains continuously lit, delivering a reliable, attention-grabbing blue glow. Upon activation by a call station or compatible relay, it immediately switches to a flashing alert, creating a dynamic, unmistakable signal that stands out against background environments—whether indoors at a loading dock or outdoors along a campus walkway. The combination of steady illumination and rapid flashing optimizes communication speed and reduces ambiguity during emergencies or routine service calls.
- Easy installation and flexible mounting options: Designed to plug into a standard 120VAC supply, the ETP-EL simplifies installation for facilities personnel and authorized electricians. Its exterior-ready enclosure is suited for surface mounting on walls or posts in a variety of site layouts, with wiring kept protected from the elements. The simple wiring approach minimizes disruption to existing infrastructure, enabling quick deployment in new builds or retrofits without compromising reliability.
- Low maintenance, long life, and energy efficiency: LED technology delivers extended life with lower power consumption compared with traditional beacon lighting. The Talkaphone LED Blue Light is built to minimize maintenance intervals while delivering high visibility in all weather conditions. This efficiency translates into lower operating costs over the life of the device and reduces the need for frequent bulb replacements, contributing to consistent performance during critical events.

How to install Talkaphone 120VAC LED Blue Light
- Turn off power at the circuit breaker before beginning installation to ensure safety during wiring and mounting.
- Choose an outdoor-minded mounting location with clear line-of-sight to the surrounding area and appropriate ventilation for heat dissipation from the LED beacon.
- Mount the beacon to a secure surface using approved weatherproof hardware, ensuring the enclosure remains sealed against rain and dust ingress.
- Connect the device to a 120VAC power source according to local electrical codes, and run wiring through weatherproof conduits or glands to protect connections from the elements.
- Wiring to the Talkaphone station or a compatible third-party device should utilize a dry contact closure or relay output. Verify polarity and contact ratings, then secure all connections with appropriate seals and wire nuts to prevent moisture intrusion.
- Restore power, then test the beacon: it should remain continuously lit, and activation from the Talkaphone station or relay should trigger a rapid flashing sequence. Confirm reliable operation across multiple test cycles and functional responses at the surrounding area.
- Perform a final inspection to verify mounting integrity, electrical box cover seating, and cable management. Document the installation for maintenance scheduling and future troubleshooting.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: What is the Talkaphone 120VAC LED Blue Light? A: It is a 120-volt outdoor-rated blue LED beacon designed to stay continuously lit to draw attention and to flash when triggered by a Talkaphone call station or compatible third-party device with a dry contact closure or relay output.
- Q: How does the beacon activate? A: Activation occurs when a connected Talkaphone call station or third-party device closes a relay or dry contact, causing the LED beacon to flash to signal an active alert or incoming call.
- Q: Is the device suitable for outdoor use? A: Yes. It is explicitly described as outdoor-rated, built to withstand environmental exposure while delivering reliable visibility.
- Q: What power does it require? A: The beacon operates on standard 120VAC power, making it compatible with typical building electrical systems and simplifying integration into existing electrical infrastructure.
- Q: Can I install this myself? A: Installation can be performed by someone experienced with electrical wiring and outdoor equipment, following local electrical codes. If in doubt, consult a licensed professional to ensure proper mounting, wiring insulation, and weatherproofing.
- Q: What are common use cases? A: The beacon is well-suited for security and safety signaling at campuses, airports, transit stations, industrial facilities, parking areas, school entrances, and any outdoor location requiring rapid visual notification of calls or alerts.
