LED Autolamps LB380ACM 12/24V Amber Emergency Mini Light Bar Clear Lens With Amber LEDs 18 Selectable Flash Patterns

SAE J845 Class 1 and ECE R65 Amber Emergency Mini Light Bar 18 Flash Patterns, Wide Voltage, Heavy-Duty Build

Product Overview

The LED Autolamps LB380ACM is a heavy-duty amber emergency mini light bar with a clear lens housing and high-brightness 1-watt LEDs, carrying both SAE J845 Class 1 and ECE R65/R10 certification the highest class of performance under the SAE standard and the benchmark European approval for amber warning beacons and light bars. With 18 selectable flash patterns, a 10–30V operating range, and a temperature tolerance spanning -40°C to +60°C, it is built for demanding emergency, breakdown, highway maintenance, and safety vehicle applications across both 12V and 24V platforms.

IP65 rated against dust ingress and directional water jets, the LB380ACM handles the harsh outdoor exposure typical of roadside emergency use in Australian conditions. The SAE J845 Class 1 rating certifies the highest level of warning light performance under that standard, making it suitable for serious emergency and safety vehicle deployments. Backed by a 5-year warranty.

Features & Benefits

• SAE J845 Class 1 compliant — the highest performance class under the SAE warning light standard; suitable for demanding emergency vehicle, breakdown, and highway safety applications
• ECE R65 / ECE R10 approved — dual European certification confirming photometric performance (R65) and electromagnetic compatibility (R10); appropriate for vehicles requiring internationally recognised warning light standards
• 18 selectable flash patterns — broad range of pattern options allows operators to match the flash mode to their specific application, jurisdiction preference, or operational requirement
• Amber LEDs with clear lens — amber light output delivered through a clear polycarbonate lens for high visibility warning in all ambient conditions
• 1-watt high-brightness LEDs — purpose-rated LED specification for emergency warning light duty; consistent output across the operating temperature range
• 10–30V wide voltage range — operates on 12V and 24V vehicle systems without modification; suits light vehicles, trucks, and heavy commercial platforms
• IP65 rated — fully sealed against dust and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction; suited to outdoor roadside emergency use and vehicle wash-down
• -40°C to +60°C operating temperature — covers the full range of Australian climate extremes from alpine cold to outback summer heat without performance degradation
• 5-year warranty — LED Autolamps' standard warranty on this light bar

Frequently Asked Questions

What does SAE J845 Class 1 mean for a warning light?

SAE J845 is the Society of Automotive Engineers standard for vehicular traffic control signalling devices. Class 1 is the highest performance rating under this standard, confirming the LB380ACM meets the most demanding output and flash pattern requirements for emergency and safety vehicle warning lights.

What is ECE R65 approval?

ECE R65 is the Economic Commission for Europe regulation governing the photometric and physical performance of amber rotating and flashing warning beacons. Approval confirms the light meets defined brightness, flash frequency, and distribution requirements. ECE R10 covers electromagnetic compatibility to ensure the light doesn't interfere with vehicle electronics.

Is IP65 sufficient for outdoor emergency use?

IP65 provides full dust sealing and protection against water jets from any direction, covering the typical exposure of a roadside or highway emergency light bar. It does not cover continuous water immersion — if submersion is a requirement, a higher IP rating (IP67/IP68) would be needed.

How are the 18 flash patterns selected?

The supplier data does not specify the selection mechanism (e.g. switch, button, or controller). Confirm the programming method with LED Autolamps or F.A.E. before purchasing if specific pattern selection is a key requirement.

What vehicles and applications is this light bar suited to?

The LB380ACM suits breakdown vehicles, highway maintenance equipment, emergency response vehicles, pilot and escort vehicles, and any application requiring a SAE J845 Class 1 or ECE R65 rated amber warning light. Check your state or territory road authority requirements for the specific flash patterns and mounting positions applicable to your vehicle class and use.
