SmartLight Black Line:
LED signal towers without compromise

The SmartLight Black Line is the most powerful version of the SmartLight signal towers. It was developed for applications requiring maximum visibility, quickly comprehensible process information, and maximum flexibility in control—even in existing plants. 

With an integrated StrobeLight, extended operating modes, and Ultimate mode, the Black Line sets new standards in machine and process visualization. 

The Black Line is designed for users who expect more than traditional status indicators. Whether for safety-critical processes, highly dynamic systems, or complex status visualization, the SmartLight Black Line ensures that information is immediately visible and correctly interpreted. 

Your benefits with SmartLight signal towers from the Black Line


Excellent visibility

even at long distances and in bright ambient light


Bright strobe light

Integrated strobe light for signaling malfunctions or alarms.


Versatile and user-friendly

thanks to various operating modes and simplified setup options.


Easy retrofit

Settings from a Silver Line SmartLight can be transferred.

StrobeLight:
Integrated strobe light that no one can miss

A special highlight is the integrated, extra-bright strobe light, StrobeLight. It draws special attention to malfunctions, alarms, or safety-related events. It complements the classic LED signals and makes critical events immediately visible even in cluttered or noisy environments.

Ultimate Mode:
Direct control of the LEDs via process data

In addition to the familiar SmartLight modes, the Black Line offers Ultimate Mode. In Ultimate Mode, colors, intensities, and effects are controlled directly via process data—without time-consuming acyclic parameterization. Functionally, Ultimate Mode corresponds to Flexible Mode, but is more intuitive and efficient to use.

Proven modes, enhanced for greater performance
