The Standard for Aviation and Traffic Control When safety depends on clear communication in low-light environments, professionals rely on the U.S. Navy Flight Deck & Traffic Wand. Modeled after the signaling wands used on aircraft carriers to guide fighter jets, this rugged tool is built to perform in the harshest conditions. The body is constructed from high-impact plastic and features a Waterproof Sealed Handle, ensuring it stays operational even during heavy rainstorms or marine operations.

What makes this wand truly versatile is its 6 Interchangeable Color Filters. The translucent tube can be customized with Red, Amber, Green, Blue, White, or Clear inserts (all included), allowing you to adapt your signal for specific tasks—Red for stopping traffic, Green for "all clear," or Amber for caution. Powered by 2 D-Cell Batteries, it projects a powerful beam visible from up to 0.5 Miles Away, keeping you safe and seen whether you are directing traffic at a crash scene or parking cars at a busy event.

Key Features

  • Made in the USA: Manufactured to high standards for reliable professional use.
  • Half-Mile Visibility: The powerful incandescent beam illuminates the entire wand, making it visible from 800+ yards away.
  • 6 Color Filters Included: Comes with Red, Amber, Green, Blue, White, and Clear inserts to customize the wand color for any job.
  • Waterproof Design: The battery compartment and switch are sealed against moisture, making it safe for use in rain or snow.
  • Durable Construction: Built from impact-resistant plastic to withstand drops and daily abuse on the job site.
  • Long Runtime: Provides up to 5 Hours of continuous signaling on a fresh set of batteries.

Why It Matters Cheap traffic wands are often just disposable toys. This is a professional-grade tool. The ability to change colors means you don't need to buy five different wands for different signals—one tool does it all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this traffic wand include 6 different color filters instead of just red and white?▸

The U.S. Navy Flight Deck & Traffic Wand (SKU 696) comes with red, amber, green, blue, white, and clear filters to meet diverse operational signaling protocols. Red is ideal for stop/hazard signals, amber for caution zones, green for go/safe signals, and blue for law enforcement or security applications. This multi-color capability makes it versatile for airport ground crews, marine operations, emergency responders, and military flight deck personnel who need standardized color-coded communication in low-visibility conditions.

Can this Rothco traffic wand really be seen from half a mile away in fog or rain?▸

Yes—the powerful light beam is visible up to half a mile in clear conditions, and the waterproof sealed plastic handle ensures it continues operating in rain, fog, or marine spray. While heavy fog will reduce maximum range, the high-intensity beam and interchangeable color filters maintain strong visibility at practical distances for traffic control, aircraft marshaling, and emergency signaling even in adverse weather.

Will this flight deck wand fit in a standard patrol car door pocket or tactical vest?▸

At 1 pound and designed for 2 D-Cell batteries, this wand is lightweight and compact enough for patrol car door storage, go-bags, or large tactical vest pockets. Its durable construction makes it ideal for law enforcement, security teams, and first responders who need a grab-and-go signaling tool that won't add bulk to their loadout while remaining Berry Compliant and Made in USA.

How does this Berry Compliant traffic wand compare to imported LED batons for government procurement?▸

Unlike imported LED batons, this Rothco wand is Made in the USA and tagged Category_Berry Compliant, making it eligible for federal and military contracts requiring domestic manufacturing. It offers 5 hours of runtime, waterproof construction, and 6 interchangeable filters—features often missing in cheaper imports. Government agencies, military units, and contractors needing TAA/Berry-compliant gear will find this wand meets procurement standards while delivering superior durability.

What's the runtime difference between using this wand continuously versus intermittent signaling?▸

The U.S. Navy Flight Deck Wand provides up to 5 hours of continuous operation on 2 D-Cell batteries (not included). For intermittent use—such as directing traffic at checkpoints, guiding aircraft, or emergency roadside signaling—you can expect significantly longer service life, often spanning multiple shifts. Keep spare D-Cell batteries on hand for extended operations or 24-hour duty cycles.
