Overview
The Telemecanique XVA-LC3 red stack light beacon is a compact, proven industrial signal light for visual communication in factories, manufacturing plants, and assembly lines. Rated 7W at 220V, this unit delivers reliable on/off indication and status alerts with bright red illumination. Although discontinued by the manufacturer, the XVA-LC3 remains a critical component in legacy machine control systems and is widely available as used surplus, making it an economical choice for maintenance and replacement applications.
Key Features
- 7W maximum power consumption per bulb module
- 68 mm diameter lens—compact footprint for standard signal towers
- Bright red color for critical alerts and machine stop signals
- Industrial-rated construction suitable for plant floor environments
- Uses BA15d base connector for easy installation
- Modular design compatible with multi-color stack configurations
