As technology advances, more applications are being found for electronic devices. One of the most commonly used devices in many industries today is the panel indicator. Panel indicators, together with pilot lights, can provide valuable information, act as safety indicators, and provide warning signals to alert personnel of hazardous conditions.

Panel indicators, also known as LED indicators, feature a bright, clearly visible, illuminated display that can convey a variety of messages. With the right illumination, a panel indicator gives the user a clear indication of status or operation. They can be used to identify controls, show machine status or relay a message from a PLC. They can also be used to indicate when a process is complete, or to alert personnel to hazardous or unexpected conditions.

Pilot lights, like panel indicators, use light to indicate the status of a function, machine, or process. They are widely used in industrial and manufacturing settings to indicate when a system or machine is on, or when an alarm is active or triggered. Pilot lights are typically vibration resistant and long-lasting, so they can be used in abusive or harsh environments.

Panel indicators and pilot lights are built on the same principle: energy is converted to light by emitting particles. They both use an LED or light-emitting diode, which is a semiconductor light source. LEDs are made of a semi-conductor material that produces light when controlled by an electric current. LEDs provide an efficient and reliable way of producing light, and are used in both panel indicators and pilot lights.

Panel indicator housings and lens bezels are made of durable materials designed to withstand impacts and environmental conditions. They are also available with a variety of LEDs, including standard, super bright, and hi-intensity, so users can select the one that best meets their needs. Panel indicators can also be customized to fit the user’s application and design preferences. Pilot lights, on the other hand, are typically made of NEMA-rated plastic housing, making them durable and lightweight.

In the industrial and manufacturing sectors, panel indicators and pilot lights are essential components. They offer a clear, visible indication of status or operation, making it easier for personnel to manage operations. They provide a safe and reliable way to alert personnel to hazardous conditions, and they can help ensure the efficient operation of machinery and processes. Panel indicators and pilot lights are relatively inexpensive, making them a cost-effective solution for many applications.
