Draper Xenon Timing Light

Set and verify ignition timing with confidence using the Draper TL4 Xenon Timing Light. Designed for workshop professionals and experienced DIY mechanics, this pistol-grip timing gun delivers a bright, concentrated xenon flash that makes timing marks easy to read — even in well-lit conditions.

Compatible with all 12V DC ignition systems, the TL4 is a versatile choice for timing checks across automotive, agricultural, and marine engines. The detachable clamp-on inductive pick-up connects safely and securely to the HT lead without cutting or splicing, while the on/off trigger switch gives you precise, one-handed control during use.

A standout safety feature is the built-in double-check indicator light, which alerts you to an incorrect pick-up connection or a faulty flash — reducing the risk of misreadings and wasted time. The impact-resistant housing is built to handle the demands of regular workshop use.

Please note: This timing light is not suitable for motorcycles, low-power vehicles, or positive earth systems.
