RECOMMENDED OPTION: Significantly reduced shipping costs compared to one-piece model
SAFETY, VISIBILITY & SHIPPING ADVISORY: We strongly recommend selecting the two-piece arm kit (KIT-1601-567-BRK-LED) for substantial shipping cost savings. Single-piece arms over 8 feet typically incur shipping costs approximately three times higher than two-piece alternatives. Both options provide identical safety features, lighting functionality, and performance once installed.
IMPORTANT: While this kit includes advanced LED lighting, reversing edge, and breakaway features, these are secondary protections and visibility aids. Always install appropriate vehicle detection systems such as loops or photocells as your primary safety measure.

Note: This premium safety and visibility kit offers the most comprehensive protection and signaling available for DoorKing 1601 barrier systems. The combination of LED lighting, reversing edge technology, and breakaway functionality provides maximum protection against damage while enhancing operational visibility. The LED lighting significantly improves the visibility of the barrier arm, particularly at night, providing clear visual signals to approaching vehicles. For complete barrier gate safety, DoorKing requires the use of appropriate primary safety devices such as in-ground loops or photocells. Always follow manufacturer installation guidelines and safety recommendations to ensure proper system operation and compliance with safety standards.
