Each wand includes five (5) blue LED lights and one (1) white LED for high visibility in the dark and features reflective film inside to intensify the light output. The wand features steady and flashing light modes. A third mode activates a white light at the top of the wand, turning it into a flashlight. The SOS alarm button creates a loud, high pitched noise for enhanced safety. The magnetic base allows for easy and secure placement of the wand. The top of the wand can be used to break a window if trapped inside a vehicle.

Our wands can be used for various applications besides aircraft safety, such as marine signalling, car safety, directing traffic, crowd control, community events (such as walks, bike races, or runs), construction zones, hunting and hiking safety. They can also be used by police, medical teams, and firefighters. Bikers, runners, and walkers use them for increased visibility at night.

Is the MW-293B compliant with standard visibility and colour requirements for night and low-visibility marshalling?

Yes. The MW-293B marshalling wand is designed to meet standard visibility requirements for night-time and low-visibility operations. This particular model is available in blue, but it can also be supplied in yellow, green, or red.

How durable and weather-resistant is the wand for daily ramp use?

The wand is designed for daily ramp use and is built to be durable and weather-resistant. It has a waterproof body and a rugged, shock-proof design, so it will continue to operate if dropped during normal handling.

The construction is impact-resistant and made to withstand regular operational use on the ramp. It features a non-slip handle and large controls that can be operated while wearing gloves, making it practical in real working conditions.

As with any equipment, it is designed to be robust rather than indestructible, but when used as intended, it is built to last in demanding airport environments.

Is it available in bulk for airport/FBO operations, and are charging/storage accessories available?

Yes, the wand is available in bulk quantities for airport and FBO operations. We routinely supply anything from small quantities through to large-scale orders, including previous orders in the region of thousands of pairs. Stock is normally held, but for larger volume orders there may be a lead time of up to 8–10 weeks, depending on quantity requirements.

Charging accessories are applicable only to the rechargeable version. Storage and charging options vary by model. While marshalling wand holders are available, this particular wand design is not compatible with those holders, as they are intended for use with other marshalling wand models in the range.

What is the operational time of this wand?

The wand offers up to 400 hours of operational time and is powered by 3 AA batteries. A rechargeable version is also available, the MW-293R-RC. This model is powered by a sealed rechargeable battery and is supplied with mains charging capability, including a UK plug and USB charging cable, offering a convenient alternative for operators who prefer rechargeable equipment.

What other safety features are included?

The wand includes a 120dB SOS alarm.

Are the wands suitable for low-light operations?

Yes. The three different light modes help improve visibility during night operations and poor weather.
