Roadside safety remains a top priority for towing operators and fleet owners who work in high-risk environments. Whether managing traffic control, emergency response, or utility work, clear and reliable warning signals are essential to protect workers and drivers alike. The TM-LS Series “Life Saver” from TowMate offers a practical solution with its cone-mounted warning light system designed specifically for these demanding situations.

What Makes the TM-LS Lifesaver Stand Out


The TM-LS Series “Life Saver” is a compact, rechargeable warning light system that attaches directly to traffic cones or posts. Its design focuses on high visibility and ease of use, which are critical for roadside safety.


  • Dual WA200 LED Strobe Heads: Each unit includes two high-intensity LED strobe heads. These provide bright, flashing lights that catch drivers’ attention from a distance.

  • Multiple Flash Patterns and Colors: The system supports various flash patterns and colors within a single unit. This flexibility allows operators to adjust the light to match specific conditions or regulations.

  • Wireless Control with Magnet: Changing flash patterns is simple and wireless. Just wave the included magnet over the unit to switch modes instantly without removing the light from the cone.

  • Long Battery Life: Powered by a 6000mAh lithium battery, the Life Saver runs up to 24 hours on a single charge. This ensures continuous operation throughout long shifts without frequent recharging.

  • Durability and Warranty: Made in the USA, the TM-LS is built to withstand tough environments. TowMate backs it with a lifetime warranty on electronics, giving users confidence in its reliability.



Practical Benefits for Towing Operators and Fleet Owners


For professionals working roadside, the TM-LS Lifesaver offers several advantages that improve safety and efficiency:


  • Instant Setup: The cone-mounted design means the warning light can be deployed quickly wherever cones are placed. This saves time during emergency or traffic control situations.

  • Enhanced Driver Awareness: Bright, flashing lights in red, blue, or other colors increase visibility, helping drivers notice work zones earlier and reduce speed accordingly.

  • Wireless Towlights Compatibility: TowMate’s wireless towlights complement the Life Saver system, creating a comprehensive safety setup for towing and roadside assistance.

  • Adaptability to Conditions: Different flash patterns allow operators to customize alerts based on weather, time of day, or traffic flow, making the system versatile in various scenarios.

  • Reduced Risk of Accidents: Clear and reliable warning signals reduce the chance of collisions near work zones, protecting both workers and motorists.

How to Use the TM-LS Lifesaver Effectively


To get the most from the TM-LS system, consider these practical tips:


  • Position Lights Strategically: Place the cone-mounted lights at key points where drivers need the most warning, such as lane closures, sharp turns, or accident scenes.

  • Select Appropriate Flash Patterns: Use the magnet to switch between flash modes depending on visibility and traffic conditions. For example, alternating red and blue flashes work well for emergency response.

  • Charge Fully Before Deployment: Ensure the battery is fully charged to maximize runtime. The 24-hour battery life covers most shifts but having a backup charged unit is wise.

  • Combine with Other Safety Gear: Use the Life Saver alongside wireless towlights and other personal safety lighting gear for a layered safety approach. For example our UV Version of the Lifesaver (TM-LS-UVDIL-2) provides an extra layer of security by using Ultra-Violet light to effectively light up any reflective surface, such as worker vests and cones without affecting the crews vision.

  • Regular Maintenance: Check the lights regularly for damage or dirt that could reduce brightness. Clean lenses and test flash patterns before use.
