Which is better, Xenon or LED? 🚨

Mar 26, 2025

Xenon strobe beacons and LED beacons are both a popular option for warning lights, however with technology advancing, LED beacons do seem to be becoming the go-to option. Here’s a quick look into the key features between each unit. 

Xenon or LED

Which Should You Choose?

  • Choose xenon for high-impact, short-term visibility in critical applications.
  • Choose LED for long-lasting, reliable performance and low running costs.

As LED technology continues to improve, it’s becoming the go-to choice for most modern signalling needs — and with a wide range of flash patterns, colours, and sizes available, there’s an LED beacon to suit nearly any environment.

In summary we can see that xenon strobe beacons have a high intensity flash and are valuable for applications needing maximum visibility, but they are less energy efficient and have a shorter lifespan than their LED counterpart. LED beacons have a less intense flash than a xenon strobe beacon but are more durable and cost effective in the long run than a xenon strobe beacon.
