Offered in 76mm, 89mm, and 114mm shaft diameters with 140mm or 168mm base options, they’re suitable for Belisha beacon installations and more. Each post includes an access door for internal cabling and is available in galvanised, powder-coated, or PVC-coated finishes to match surrounding street furniture.

These robust columns combine the iconic beacon with a wide base design, offering enhanced durability and convenient internal access for electrical wiring and maintenance.
