The Edwards 50R-N5-40WH is a 50 Series AdaptaBeacon flashing light with a red lens. It runs on 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 0.3 A. The 40 W halogen lamp delivers about 265 lumens.
This beacon is an industrial signaling device. As a result, it suits high-noise commercial and industrial spaces. Operators see the bright red flash even when audible alarms get masked. The lamp life rating is approximately 25,000 hours.

How the 50 Series Naming Works
First, the leading letter is the lens color. For example, 50R = red, 50A = amber, 50B = blue, 50G = green, 50M = magenta, and 50C = clear. Then the N5 suffix designates 120 VAC operation. Finally, the 40WH suffix designates a 40 W halogen lamp. Therefore, choose the lens color that matches the alarm convention at your site.
Related 50 Series Products
The 50 Series spans flashing models (50R, 50A, 50B, etc.) plus steady-on variants in the 50SIN family. In addition, the 52 Series uses the same lamp platform but rotates the lens. For example, the 52B-N5-40WH is the rotating blue-lens sibling.
Important: This Is an Industrial Beacon, Not a Fire-Alarm Device
The 50R-N5-40WH is a general-purpose visual signaling device. Therefore, it is not UL 1971 listed for fire alarm visual notification. Do not specify it on a NAC where UL 1971 candela ratings are required. As a result, it is best used for process alarms, machine status, security signaling, and general industrial notification.
