Our Bulletin 855 Control Tower™ Stack Lights provide multi-status indication of your application. They are available in three sizes with UL Type 4/4X/13, IP65 ratings, to meet the most challenging panel and on-machine applications. We have a wide variety of light and sound functions, colors, voltages, and mounting options. We offer stack lights as separate light and sound modules or pre-assembled for greater flexibility.
Overview
- Available in 30 mm, 50 mm, and 70 mm sizes
- Steady and flashing status indicator light modules
- Continuous or pulsing piezo sound modules
- Stacking configurations 1…5 modules high
- Multiple mounting options
- Top-mounted terminal blocks on all bases

Rockwell Automation announces that as of June 30, 2021, our Bulletin 855F 70 mm pre-assembled tower light will be discontinued and no longer available for sale.
To support your transition, we recommend migrating to our Bulletin 856T product line. The 856T product line is a functional replacement that offers new and modern LED technology and can control up to seven levels in the same stack arrangement. It also offers more flexible mounting options than our current 855F product line.
