Panel Indicators and Pilot Lights are used for providing visual indication that a device or process is on, off, or functioning within an acceptable range. In most applications, they are used to provide simple visual feedback to the user, and are generally used to display small amounts of data or as an indication of a fault condition or warning. They are often used in conjunction with other indicators, such as LEDs, LCDs, or tactile switches, in order to provide more detailed visual or audible feedback.

The most common types of Panel Indicators are indicators with a red/green status display, indicating either on or off. This type of indicator is often used to show the presence or absence of a signal, or to indicate whether a process is active or completed. Panel Indicators are also available in different lights such as incandescent, LED or neon.

Pilot Lights are used in a device to indicate that the device is in use, whether it is powered-on or powered-off. They are available in a variety of styles, such as round, triangular, or square, and can be used to show the status of an operation or system, such as power, failure, or warning. Pilot Lights are typically used in industrial and commercial settings, but are also found in domestic applications, such as indicating whether a light switch is on or off.

The working principle of Panel Indicators and Pilot Lights are similar to that of LEDs. In this type of indicator, an electrical signal is sent to a light-emitting diode, or LED, which causes a light to be displayed on the panel. Depending on the type of LED used, the light can be steady or flashing, indicating different levels of information or warnings. In some applications, the intensity of the light is also used to indicate different levels.

Panel Indicators and Pilot Lights are typically used in combination with other indicators, such as LCDs, LEDs, and tactile switches, to provide more detailed and visual feedback. They are also useful in providing simple feedback, allowing the user to quickly identify the current status of a device or process. They are used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, such as indicating the presence of a signal, or the status of an operation or system.
