TOMAR Combines Award-Winning Warning and Illumination in the Revolution MultiFunction Series

TOMAR Revolution

TOMAR Electronics has released the Revolution MultiFunction Series, a multi-purpose warning and illumination lamp for first responders. Designed to clear the chaos and remove the risks associated with working a dangerous emergency scene, the Revolution MultiFunction Series (mfR) fuses award-winning warning and illumination technology into one easy to install light head.

In 2017, TOMAR was awarded the Most Innovative Warning and Illumination Product Award from EMS World for the Revolution Series. The new mfR Series improves upon the award-winning Revolution Series.

Keeping with TOMAR’s commitment to designing products with the Envelope of Safety at top of mind, the mfR Series features the latest and most reliable high-intensity and highly efficient LEDs. The series also contains specially designed optics to direct light where needed and a wide-angle lens to maximize visibility . It is the only light series with a patented, waterproof seal and features a dual mode, multi-purpose warning and illumination in one lamp for extreme versatility and safety.

“The mfR series took our Revolution Series and made it even better,” said Matt Barker, Director of Marketing for TOMAR. “The new mfR Series features powerful warning outputs to help keep everyone safe at a dangerous emergency scene. This series is so powerful, that it meets NFPA Standards with just 2 lamps per zone.”

In addition to the safety features, the mfR Series contains several design elements to reduce costs. The surface mounted mfR Series reduces installation costs for emergency departments by utilizing unsealed mounting holes, eliminating stress fractures during installation and maintenance. A patented waterproof design with a built-in venting system enables unwanted elements to quickly escape, reducing maintenance and repair costs.

The mfR Series is NOW available and may be purchased from authorized TOMAR dealers.
