Illuminated Laser Warning Signs

The WS-103A-3 illuminated laser warning sign is our most popular sign. It incorporates the following options:

  • More detailed and colored legends
  • Flashing red lamps in the danger condition
  • Long–life lamps

Legend wording was composed by Los Alamos National Labs. The WS-103A-3 sign, with its wording and option set, is known among users as “the Los Alamos package.”
