For prototype development, new OEM devices or even for retrofitting existing systems, LED panel mount indicators are a great choice. These lights offer a top range of voltage, current and lenses to create the perfect lighting for instrument or other types of panels. In a wide range of sizes and options, these are ideal for any type of use.
Getting design is often a matter of preference as well as specific design elements. Taking the time to evaluate and consider both the styles of the lights as well as the manufacturer backing the product will always be an important consideration.
Color Options
Depending on the specific style of LED panel mount there may be different options in colors. With quality LED lighting there will be the option to choose both a LED color, or the actual bulb color, as well as the lens color. Selecting a lens color to match the light color, such as a green LED light and a green lens will produce a more intense color.
On the other hand, selecting a white LED, either in cool white or warm white with a colored lens will create a slightly less intense color. This is often ideal when there are multiple lights on a panel as it provides a quality of color that is easier for the user, even in bright lighting conditions.
In addition to the lens color, there is also the lens shape to consider. Raised rounded lens add a dimensional look to the light while raised flat lens are more streamlined. The flush lens will allow for a flat surface, ideal for control panels where raised lenses may inhibit access.
Types of Mounts
The bolt-on LED panel mount is easy to install and works perfectly for retrofits or new product manufacturing requirements. These can be designed with a special collar around the lens that provides a completely waterproof seal.
This is ideal for any type of panel that will be used outdoors or in wet types of working environments. This includes in processing and production areas where wash down and cleaning processes may expose the panel to any type of moisture.
As the name implies, the bolt-in designs simply are inserted into the pre-bored hole in the panel and turned in to secure. This allows the LED light to be completely secured in the panel, protecting the light while also making installation simple, easy and very quick.
