The two-colour version of the C4, on the same housing and wide angle reflex lens. Eight 3W LEDs, four per colour, so each colour fires across the full length of the lens. The colours alternate, they do not run together. 29 flash patterns, 10-30V DC, IP68. Amber and red, or blue and white.

Description

The TC4 is the two-colour version of the C4, built on the same 117mm surface mount housing and the same wide angle reflex lens, but carrying eight 3W LEDs instead of four. The LEDs sit in pairs, one of each colour, in each of the four reflector cells. It signals vehicle presence on traffic control, civil, utility and fleet vehicles, plant and machinery.

The two colours alternate, they do not run together. One colour lights at a time and the head cycles between them. Because each colour has its own full set of four LEDs spread across all four cells, each one fires across the entire length of the lens rather than half of it. That is the practical difference from a split-colour head, where the LEDs are divided by position and each colour only ever lights its own half. If you need two colours showing at the same moment, the C4 is sold in blue and red and in red and white as split-output units.

Two colour pairs are stocked: amber and red, or blue and white. Each TC4 is a fixed pair chosen at purchase, and the pairing cannot be changed after the fact.

Where the TIR heads in this range send output forward through separate optical cells, the reflex lens uses a reflector cup behind each LED to spread light off-axis, so the head stays visible from a much wider angle. It surface mounts through two screw fixing points, one in each end lug, 104mm between centres, suiting bumpers, grille surrounds, bull bars, guards, tray and body rails, headboards and rear body panels. Confirm mounting hardware and wiring with your auto electrician for your specific vehicle and application.

Output runs across 29 selectable flash patterns at a flash rate of 1 to 4Hz, ten more than the single-colour C4, which is where the two-colour combinations live. Input is 10 to 30V DC, covering 12V and 24V vehicles and plant with the one part, at a maximum draw of 18W. Wiring runs on four cores: red for power through a 3A fuse, black for chassis ground, white to set the head into flash group one or group two for simultaneous or alternating operation against other heads, and yellow for pattern selection and synchronisation. Connecting the yellow wires of several heads together synchronises their flash. Wiring should be carried out by a qualified auto electrician.

The head is built on an aluminium base, sealed to IP68 and rated for ambient temperatures from -20 to +65 degrees, suited to exposed mounting positions on vehicles working in vibration, dust and weather. LED lifespan is rated at 100,000 hours. Overall size is 117 x 30 x 28mm.

Supplied product data lists ECE R65 XA1 00 0036, ECE R65 XB1 00 0035, ECE R10 04 12754 and SAE J595 Class 1. Vehicle lighting requirements vary by vehicle type, registration category and jurisdiction, so confirm the requirements that apply to your vehicle and use.

For single fixed output on the same housing and optics, see the C4 12W LED warning light head, which is stocked in six colours. For forward-directed TIR output, the H4 and the longer E4 are the same 12W four-LED format, and the X6 steps up to six LEDs. For more output from the same reflex optics, see the 27W C9. For amber warning output on traffic control and civil vehicles, see the UAGS-branded U30-6, U30-12A and U31 light heads.

Features

  • 8 x 3W LEDs, Four Per Colour: Two LEDs sit in each of the four reflector cells, one of each colour.
  • Full Length Output In Either Colour: Because each colour has its own set of four LEDs across all four cells, it fires across the whole lens, not half of it.
  • Colours Alternate, Not Simultaneous: One colour lights at a time and the head cycles between them.
  • Two Colour Pairs: Amber and red, or blue and white. Fixed at purchase.
  • Wide Angle Reflex Lens: Reflector optics spread output off-axis, so the head stays visible from a much wider angle than a forward-directed TIR lens.
  • 29 Flash Patterns: Ten more than the single-colour C4, at a flash rate of 1 to 4Hz.
  • Synchronisation: Yellow wires linked between heads run a set of front, side and rear lights as one system.
  • Two Flash Groups: The white wire sets each head to group one or group two for simultaneous or alternating flash against other heads.
  • 10-30V DC: Suits 12V and 24V vehicles and plant with one part, 18W maximum draw.
  • Surface Mount: Two screw fixing points, one in each end lug, 104mm between centres.
  • Compact 117mm Housing: 117 x 30 x 28mm, the same body as the C4.
  • IP68 Sealed: Aluminium base, rated -20 to +65 degrees for exposed mounting positions.
  • 100,000 Hour LED Lifespan.
  • Approvals: ECE R65 XA1 00 0036, ECE R65 XB1 00 0035, ECE R10 04 12754 and SAE J595 Class 1.

TC4 Warning Light Head FAQs

Do both colours show at the same time?

No. The TC4 alternates. One colour lights at a time and the head cycles between them. If you need two colours showing at the same moment, the C4 is stocked in blue and red and in red and white as split-output units, where the LEDs are divided by position across the lens.

How is this different from a split-colour head?

On a split head the LEDs are divided by position, so each colour only ever lights its own half of the lens. On the TC4 each colour has its own full set of four LEDs, one in each of the four reflector cells, so whichever colour is lit fires across the entire length. You get full-width output in either colour, but only one colour at a time.

What colour pairs can I get?

Two: amber and red, or blue and white. Each TC4 is a fixed pair chosen at purchase and the pairing cannot be changed afterwards. For single fixed output see the C4, stocked in six colours. For amber warning output see the UAGS-branded U30-6, U30-12A and U31 light heads.

Will it run on my 24V truck?

Yes. The 10 to 30V DC input covers 12V and 24V vehicles and plant with the same unit. The manufacturer carton states 12-24V systems.

How does it compare to the C4?

Same 117mm housing, same wide angle reflex lens, same mounting, same IP68 aluminium base and the same four-wire loom. The TC4 carries eight LEDs instead of four, runs 29 flash patterns instead of 19, and draws 18W at maximum instead of 9W. The C4 is the single fixed colour version.

What is a reflex lens, and how is it different from TIR?

A reflex lens uses a reflector cup behind each LED to throw light outwards across a wide angle, rather than a TIR lens which directs it forward in a tighter beam. It suits bumper and grille positions where the light needs to be seen from the side as well as head on.

Can I wire several heads to flash together?

Yes. Connecting the yellow wires of multiple heads synchronises their flash, and the white wire sets each head into flash group one or group two so the groups run simultaneously or alternately. Wiring should be carried out by a qualified auto electrician.

How does it mount?

Surface mount, through two screw fixing points using the lugs at each end of the housing, 104mm between centres. Drill two holes in the mounting surface and fix with two screws.

Is it sealed against water?

The manufacturer rates the TC4 at IP68 with an aluminium base, for an ambient range of -20 to +65 degrees.

Does fitting this light make my vehicle compliant?

Supplied product data lists ECE R65 XA1 00 0036, ECE R65 XB1 00 0035, ECE R10 04 12754 and SAE J595 Class 1. Vehicle lighting requirements vary by vehicle type, registration category and jurisdiction, so confirm the requirements that apply to your vehicle and use.
