Skylord Exp 1200 mm LED warning light bar

Strands Skylord EXP LED Warning Light Bar 1200 mm - R65 Class 2 with 24 Warning Patterns and Bluetooth Control

Strands Skylord EXP LED Warning Light Bar 1200 mm is an advanced low-profile LED warning light bar developed for professional vehicles where high visibility, powerful warning performance and modern control are essential. With 24 different warning patterns, separate day and night modes, Cruise Mode and ECE R65 Class 2 approval, it provides a complete warning light solution for service vehicles, recovery vehicles, larger vans, trucks, road maintenance vehicles and work machinery.

With a length of 1200 mm, this version provides a larger and more prominent warning surface than the compact 900 mm model. This makes it particularly suitable for larger vehicles where warning lighting needs to remain clearly visible from several directions and at greater distances.

Skylord EXP is also part of the Strands SKYN1 EXP system. The bar communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth with the SKYN1 EXP controller inside the vehicle. This means functions such as on/off, warning patterns and day/night mode can be controlled from the driver's position without conventional separate control wiring running all the way between the bar and the control panel.

E-Approved According to ECE R65 Class 2

Skylord EXP Warning Light Bar 1200 mm is E-approved according to ECE R65 Class 2 and developed for professional warning lighting. R65 Class 2 means the warning light can use separate output levels for day and night conditions.

During daylight, a strong warning signal is required for the light to remain clearly visible even in bright surroundings. At night, an adapted light output can be used to maintain clear warning visibility without unnecessarily intense illumination.

This makes the bar well suited to professional vehicles used around the clock and under changing lighting conditions.

24 Different Warning Patterns

Skylord EXP offers no fewer than 24 different warning patterns. This provides extensive possibilities for adapting the visual signal to the vehicle, application and working environment.

Available patterns include:

• Single Flash
• Double Flash
• Quad Flash
• Fast Flash
• Random Flash
• Dynamic Flash
• SOS
• Alternating Single Flash
• Alternating Double Flash
• Alternating Quad Flash
• Alternating Fast Flash
• Synchronous and alternating multi-segment patterns
• Clockwise Sequential
• Counter-clockwise Sequential
• Chase Left to Right
• Chase Right to Left
• Centre-out Sequential
• Edge-to-centre Sequential
• Sequential patterns combined with steady light
• Breath
• Centre-out Sequential with strobe

The large selection of warning patterns makes the bar flexible for everything from road service and recovery to transport, construction and other professional work vehicles.

48 Combinations with Day and Night Modes

All 24 warning patterns can be combined with the bar's separate day and night modes. This provides up to 48 different combinations of warning pattern and light output.

Day and night modes are controlled directly from the SKYN1 EXP controller. There is therefore no need to access the light bar itself or use separate switches to change the output level.

This is particularly useful on service and work vehicles operating through long shifts where lighting conditions change from daylight to darkness.

Cruise Mode and Steady Light

In addition to the different flash patterns, Skylord EXP also features Cruise Mode and a steady-light function. This makes the bar even more flexible for different types of professional applications.

Steady light is activated from the SKYN1 EXP controller and provides an alternative to flashing warning lighting where the situation and applicable regulations permit the function.

Always check which warning light functions are permitted for the relevant vehicle category and application.

SKYN1 EXP - Wireless Bluetooth Control

One of the most important Skylord EXP features is the integrated SKYN1 EXP Bluetooth technology. The bar communicates wirelessly with the SKYN1 EXP Wireless Controller inside the vehicle.

Once the bar is connected to power and paired, the system automatically identifies the product as a warning light and assigns it to the correct button on the controller.

This means no complicated manual programming is required for the system to recognise which type of EXP lighting has been connected.

The SKYN1 EXP Wireless Controller, part number 907851S1, is required to use the warning light bar and is sold separately. The bar cannot be activated or function-tested until it has been paired with the controller.

Control Functions Directly from the Driver's Position

Once paired, the most important functions can be controlled directly from the SKYN1 EXP controller:

• Single press - switches the warning light bar on or off
• Double press - changes between warning patterns
• Triple press - activates steady light
• Hold for 3-5 seconds - switches between day and night modes
• Hold for more than 5 seconds - resets the bar to the first warning pattern and day mode

This gives the driver quick access to advanced warning functions through a physical controller instead of requiring a mobile phone or separate programming device during operation.

Memory Function for the Last Used Mode

SKYN1 EXP features a built-in memory function that automatically remembers the most recently used warning mode.

This is particularly useful on professional vehicles where the same warning pattern is used regularly. When the system is used again, there is no need to cycle through every pattern to return to the previous setting.

1200 mm Provides a Large and Clearly Visible Warning Surface

With an overall length of 1200 mm, this Skylord EXP version is particularly well suited to larger vans, service vehicles and trucks where a wider warning light bar provides a more proportionate installation and a larger visual warning area.

The longer bar distributes the amber LED segments across a greater part of the vehicle width, creating a clear and professional warning signal.

For smaller vehicles or installations where space is limited, the Skylord EXP range is also available in shorter versions.

Amber LED Warning Light for High Visibility

The bar's amber LED segments are developed to create a clear warning signal around the vehicle. The combination of a large illuminated area, multiple segments and advanced warning patterns makes the bar well suited to environments where the vehicle needs to attract attention quickly.

This is particularly important for:

• Work on or beside roads
• Recovery and roadside assistance
• Road maintenance
• Service work
• Loading and unloading
• Construction work
• Work involving larger machinery

Extremely Low Profile - Only Approximately 34.2 mm

Despite its powerful warning lighting, Skylord EXP has a very low profile. The light bar body is only approximately 34.2 mm high.

This provides a significantly more integrated and modern appearance than conventional tall warning light bars. On modern vans, pickups and service vehicles, the low-profile design can make a major difference to the overall appearance of the installation.

The bar is approximately 150 mm deep, while total height including the mounting brackets is approximately 71.8 mm.

Dark Lens for a Discreet Appearance When Switched Off

Skylord EXP features a dark polycarbonate lens. When the bar is switched off, it therefore has a dark and discreet appearance that integrates well with many modern vehicles.

When the warning light is activated, the amber LED segments become clearly visible and create the powerful warning signal required during professional work.

191 W Power Consumption

The 1200 mm version has a power consumption of 191 W. This is higher than the shorter 900 mm version and reflects the larger bar's additional light segments and increased warning area.

Power supply, cable sizing and fusing should always be carried out according to Strands' installation instructions and adapted to the vehicle's electrical system.

10-32 V - for Both 12 V and 24 V

Strands Skylord EXP 1200 mm operates on 10-32 V DC. The bar can therefore be used on both 12 V and 24 V systems.

This makes it suitable for a very wide range of professional vehicles and machinery, including:

• Service vehicles
• Larger vans
• Pickups
• Recovery vehicles
• Roadside assistance vehicles
• Trucks
• Road maintenance vehicles
• Construction machinery
• Agricultural machinery
• Other work vehicles

2.5 Metre Connection Cable and Fuse Included

Skylord EXP 1200 mm is supplied with a 2500 mm connection cable featuring separate positive and negative conductors. A fuse is included.

The generous cable length provides flexibility when installing the bar on the roof or other positions on larger vehicles.

Because control is handled through Bluetooth, conventional control wires for the various warning functions do not need to be routed all the way from the bar to the controller inside the cabin.

Less Control Wiring for Easier Installation

Traditional warning light bars with multiple functions can require several control wires between the roof and the vehicle control panel. On modern vehicles, routing this wiring through the roof, A-pillar, bodywork and dashboard can be both time-consuming and complicated.

With Skylord EXP, these commands are instead transmitted wirelessly. The bar requires a correctly sized power supply, while functions such as on/off, warning pattern selection and day/night mode communicate via Bluetooth.

This can result in a significantly cleaner installation and reduce the amount of wiring routed through the vehicle.

Integrates with Other Skylord EXP Lights

Skylord EXP Warning Light Bar is part of the wider SKYN1 EXP ecosystem. The same SKYN1 EXP controller can be used with several different types of compatible lighting.

The system automatically recognises:

• Driving lights and LED light bars
• Position lights
• Work lights
• Warning lights

This makes it possible to combine a 1200 mm Skylord EXP warning light bar on the roof with compatible work lights and driving lights and control them through the same system.

Two Groups for More Advanced Vehicle Installations

The SKYN1 EXP controller is divided into two separate groups. This allows compatible lights to be divided according to their position or intended use.

On larger service vehicles and trucks, this can be particularly useful when several warning lights, work lights and other EXP products are installed around the vehicle.

The system can therefore be expanded from a relatively simple installation into a more comprehensive professional vehicle lighting solution.

IP67 for Permanent External Installation

A roof-mounted warning light bar is continuously exposed to rain, snow, dust, road salt and dirt. Skylord EXP therefore features an IP67 rating and is designed for permanent external vehicle installation.

IP67 provides a high level of protection against both dust and water, although electrical connections should still be completed using suitable waterproof connections according to the installation instructions.

Aluminium Base and Polycarbonate Lens

The construction combines a rugged aluminium base with an upper plastic section and durable polycarbonate lens.

The aluminium provides a stable foundation for the long 1200 mm bar, while the polycarbonate lens is well suited to a product that will remain permanently mounted in an exposed position on the vehicle roof.

Operating Temperature from -35 °C to +65 °C

Skylord EXP is developed for use across a broad operating temperature range from -35 °C to +65 °C.

This makes the warning light bar well suited to year-round professional vehicle use, including demanding Nordic winter conditions and hot summer days.

R10.07, CE-RED and Bluetooth SIG

In addition to ECE R65 Class 2, Skylord EXP is approved according to ECE R10.07 for electromagnetic compatibility.

The wireless communication is also covered by CE-RED and Bluetooth SIG.

This is important in modern vehicles where a large number of electronic components and communication systems need to operate together without interference.

Mounting Brackets and Installation Hardware Included

Skylord EXP is supplied with mounting hardware for a complete basic installation. The package includes:

• 2 mounting brackets
• M8 screws
• M8 spacers
• M8 spring washers and nuts
• M6 screws
• M6 spring washers and nuts
• EVA protective pads
• Fuse

Installation should always be adapted to the vehicle construction and the applicable regulations for warning lighting and mounting position.

Service-Friendly Design with Replaceable Light Modules

Skylord EXP is developed with a service-friendly modular design. If an individual light module needs to be replaced, the upper section of the bar can be opened and the relevant module replaced without changing the complete warning light bar.

This can be an important advantage on professional vehicles where equipment is heavily used and long-term serviceability matters.

All servicing should be carried out according to Strands' instructions to avoid damaging seals or other protective components.

The SKYN1 EXP Controller Is Mandatory

It is important to understand that Skylord EXP does not operate like a conventional warning light bar that can be tested simply by connecting positive and negative power.

All functions remain locked until the bar has been paired with the SKYN1 EXP Wireless Controller 907851S1.

Strands therefore recommends connecting the bar to power, pairing it and function-testing it together with the controller before permanently mounting it on the vehicle.

This allows the power supply, Bluetooth communication and light bar functions to be verified before the installation is completed.
