A synchronization module is available for synchronizing multiple lights.

Federal Signal Corp.'s new 24XST is an explosion-proof, four-wired strobe light that covers the entire range of possible mounting configurations, including dome up. Available in 24VDC, the 24XST was specifically engineered to simplify installation and reduce maintenance. The design makes it suitable for explosion-proof and corrosive environments ranging from oil rig platforms and mines to refineries and chemical plants.

Producing 60 high-intensity flashes per minute, the 24XST features a current in-rush limiting PCB design to enhance compatibility with inrush-sensitive devices. When powered by 24VDC, this exclusive design operates on only 0.71A, while limiting peak inrush to 2A. A synchronization module is available for synchronizing multiple lights.

The 24XST comes with a standard ceiling mount with pendant and wall mount hardware optionally available. Once the mounting box is installed, the fixture is threaded onto the mounting box producing an electrical connection once threads are engaged.  The copper-free cast aluminum housing is sealed with black powder coat paint. Available in six lens colors, the 24XST's strobe tube is rated for 10,000 hours.
