ECCO Safety Lighting & Back-Up Alarms

ECCO lights and safety products for work vehicles

ECCO started as Electronic Controls Company, which is where the name comes from and why searches for both still land here. The company makes warning lighting and audible alarms for equipment that works around people: rotating and LED beacons in amber, blue, red and clear, directional strobes, minibars and full-width light bars, and the back-up alarms that give a reverse warning at a set decibel level. The products are grouped by mount and by use, so a magnet-mount beacon for a seasonal plow truck sits next to a permanent-mount unit for a municipal dump body.

ECCO also sells its bars and beacons as serviceable assemblies, with lenses, domes, brackets and controllers listed as separate part numbers for when only an end cap is cracked.

Shop ECCO lights by type

LED and rotating beacons

Single amber beacons are the bulk of what Manitoba fleets order: magnet mount for a truck that only plows in winter, three-bolt permanent mount for a service body, pole mount for a tractor. Blue and amber-blue lenses are listed for the vehicle classes that allow them.

Strobe lights and directional warning

Surface-mount LED strobes fit into a grille, a headache rack or a bumper where a dome beacon will not. Directional arrow bars and traffic advisors run left, right and centre-out patterns from a cab controller for lane closures and roadside work.

Light bars and minibars

Minibars bolt or magnet onto a cab roof and give 360-degree amber coverage in a unit under 30 inches. Full-size bars span a plow truck or tow unit roof and can mix amber warning with white work light modules. Light bar parts for older ECCO bars are listed alongside.

LED work lamps

Flood and spot work lamps in 12 and 24 volt for lighting a spreader, a deck or a hitch at night. If you are comparing brands, the equivalent lamps are in Grote truck lighting and Buyers Products lighting.

Back-up alarms

Fixed-decibel and self-adjusting reverse alarms wire into the reverse lamp circuit and sound whenever the vehicle backs up. Choose by the decibel rating the job site requires and by whether the yard is close to houses, where a self-adjusting alarm keeps night noise down.

Common applications

Snow plow trucks and sanders are the first application in this province: an amber beacon on the cab, a strobe pair on the headache rack and a work lamp over the spreader. Municipal and utility fleets run ECCO bars on dump bodies, bucket trucks and street sweepers. Tow operators pair amber with the lens colour their province permits.

Off the road, the same beacons go on loaders and farm equipment, and the back-up alarms on anything that reverses around people.

Why buy ECCO lights here

• Parts, not just assemblies. ECCO light bar parts, lenses and mounts are listed individually so a damaged bar can be repaired rather than replaced.
• One page for every mount style. Magnet, permanent, pole and surface-mount beacons and strobes are all here, so you can match the mount to the truck rather than the other way round.
• Shipped from Winnipeg. Orders go out from a Manitoba dealer that specifies these lights for local plow and municipal fleets.

Choosing the right ECCO light

Start with the colour your province and your job allow, then the mount: a plug-in magnet-mount beacon for a truck that plows a few months a year, a bracket-mounted permanent beacon for a dedicated service body. Match the voltage to the vehicle and check the product page for the SAE class and flash patterns. For a light bar, measure the roof width and confirm the mounting kit for your cab.

If you are not sure what fits, contact us with your year, make, model and configuration.

Common questions

Does ECCO sell replacement light bar parts?

Yes. ECCO lists lenses, end caps, LED modules, mounting feet and controllers as separate part numbers for its light bars, and those parts are included in this collection.

What colour beacon is legal on a truck in Manitoba?

Amber is the standard colour for work and service vehicles, including plow trucks and tow units. Other colours are restricted to specific vehicle classes, so confirm with your provincial regulations before ordering blue, red or clear lenses.

Is ECCO the same company as Electronic Controls Company?

Yes. ECCO is the trade name of Electronic Controls Company, a Boise, Idaho maker of warning lights and back-up alarms that now operates as ECCO Safety Group.

Should I choose a magnet mount or permanent mount beacon?

Magnet mount if the beacon moves between vehicles or comes off in summer; permanent mount if the truck works year-round.
