Technical & Order Information - Indicators
The majority of Arcolectric indicator lights can be supplied with alternative light sources:
Neon, Fluorescent, Filament lamp or LED.
NEON and FLUORESCENT LAMPS
Colors
Available with Red, Amber, Green or Clear lenses.
FILAMENT LAMPS
Colors
Available with Red, Amber, Green, Clear or Blue lenses.
Maximum striking voltages
Standard brightness types 65Vac 90Vdc.
High brightness types 85Vac 135Vdc.
High brightness types are usually fitted.
LEDs - DC
Colors
Red, Yellow, Green, Blue and White.
Voltage
Basic voltage 2.0/2.2V. Some items are available with integral resistors for 12V use.
For details of resistors required for higher voltages, please call the factory.
Life
Typically 25,000 hours (Green fluorescent lamps 20,000 hours). (Measured to a point
when the light output of the lamp is half its original level.)
The end of life for a neon lamp is not usually a sudden failure.
Current
Maximum continuous forward current 20mA.
Life
>100,000hrs
False signals due to long wiring
It is possible for neon or fluorescent tubes to glow when they should be off. The false
signal is caused by the capacitance effect of fairly long wiring to the indicator being
adjacent to other live cables. This effect can be prevented in most cases by fitting a 100k
resistor across the supply wires close to the indicator assembly.
LEDs - AC
Colors
Red, Yellow, Green, Blue and White.
Voltage
Rated up to 230V ac, suitable for use at 110V and 230V ac.
