K&E Safety M490-LED Blue Strobe Kit
The K&E Safety M490-LED DC B is a blue LED warning strobe kit designed for vehicles or fixed installations that require high-visibility signalling. It operates on a wide 12 to 90 VDC input, making it compatible with both 12 V and 24 V electrical systems commonly found in commercial fleets. The unit carries an IP67 rating for dust and water protection and functions across a broad temperature range from -30 to 50 degrees Celsius.
Ideal for fleet and industrial warning.
This strobe suits fleet managers, municipal operators and equipment owners who need a single-colour, self-contained warning light with screw mounting and wire power input. It offers three selectable flash rates at 63, 80 and 120 flashes per minute for varied attention levels. Buyers who require synchronised multi-unit flashing, alternating colour patterns or magnetic mounting should look at alternative warning systems that provide those specific functions.
12 to 90 VDC operating voltage decides fit
The defining specification is the 12 to 90 VDC operating range, which determines whether the strobe can connect directly to the intended power source without additional converters. The light draws 0.18 to 0.24 A AC current depending on the supply voltage applied. A rated lamp life of 26,000 hours and a polycarbonate dome lens on an ABS housing support long-term durability in harsh environments.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the M490-LED DC B strobe is flashing correctly after wiring it to a 12-90V DC supply?
The unit offers three selectable flash rates — 63, 80 or 120 flashes per minute — so after power-up count the flashes for one minute and confirm the rate matches the chosen setting.
What comes in the box with the K&E Safety M490-LED DC B kit and what must be sourced separately?
The kit includes the blue LED strobe head with its polycarbonate dome lens, ABS housing and integrated mounting screw; a 12-90V DC power source and wiring must be supplied by the installer.
Which flash-rate setting — 63, 80 or 120 flashes per minute — should I choose for the M490-LED DC B?
Select 63 FPM for maximum lamp life toward the 26,000-hour rating, 80 FPM for a balanced warning cadence, or 120 FPM when the highest visual urgency is required.
