PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The TOMAR MICRO IV™ is an industrial warning strobe beacon engineered for demanding environments where reliable visual signaling is critical. Delivering consistent flash frequency and lamp brightness across a wide input voltage range (12–80VDC or 16–24VAC), its internally regulated power supply holds steady performance regardless of voltage fluctuations in the field. A dependable industrial strobe light built to keep workers safe and operations compliant.
Built for longevity in the toughest conditions, the MICRO IV™ power supply is fully potted in polyurethane for maximum resistance to moisture, vibration, and high voltage exposure. The all-Lexan® enclosure protects internal components while keeping the unit lightweight and impact-resistant. A field-replaceable plug-in xenon strobe tube simplifies maintenance and minimizes downtime with no special tools or service calls required.
Every MICRO IV™ unit includes polarity protection and built-in RFI filters to guard against radio frequency interference and spike voltages. The MICRO IV™ and its optional dome guard are UL Component Recognized for Type E, EE, and ES electric industrial trucks per UL Standard #583, making it a code-compliant visual warning beacon for material handling and forklift safety applications. Backed by a 10-year warranty, the MICRO IV™ is one of the most reliable industrial strobe lights on the market.
Common Applications: forklift warning lights, electric industrial truck safety, warehouse strobe beacons, material handling visual signals, industrial safety lighting

FAQ's
Will a 120vac light work on 110vac? A 240vac unit on 220vac?
Yes, operating voltage is actually +/- 10% of rated voltage.
Can I use a replacement 8 pin Tomar strobe tube in another manufacturers fixture if it physically fits?
No, the strobe tube should be matched to the model of the strobe light
Are your ½” male and female pipe mounts NPT, or another thread type (i.e. straight conduit)?
Our male and female pipe mounts are NPT
