What are panel mount indicators, lenses and hardware?

• Panel mount LED lights are fixed onto control panels. They are used to indicate whether a system, machine or piece of equipment is operating safely and as it should. Many of these lights can be installed to flash in a variety of colors, each representing a different status and requiring a different action in response.
• Panel mount lenses are the plastic coverings used to house and protect the bulb inside the indicator. These lenses come in different colors - typically green, red, yellow or white. You can order the one that best suits the requirements of your equipment or machinery.
• Panel mount hardware refers to the accompanying accessories you may need to purchase along with your LED lights and lenses. These will be required to complete installation. Examples include lamp insertion and removal tools, mounting clips, lamp holders, fixing collars, and more.

Why do you need panel mount LED lights?

Panel mount indicators alert the operator if there is something wrong with the system or equipment. Without such warnings, the equipment may be damaged beyond repair, and a replacement could prove costly. And if it is one part of a wider system - on a production line, for example - that could severely hamper productivity and cause major delays.

More importantly, the health and wellbeing of the operator and those around them could be at risk. But with panel mount LED lights immediately alerting staff to an issue, machinery can be shut off ASAP to limit the threat of anything that might cause physical harm.

Where might you find panel mount LED lights and lenses?

Panel mount lenses, indicators and the associated hardware are found in industrial settings. For example, they will often be used in factories and manufacturing plants, where operators need to know that any heavy-duty machinery is working safely and at capacity. This can be indicated by a green panel mount LED light, whereas a fault would typically prompt a flashing red light.

They can also be used as part of building management systems in facilities such as schools and medical centers. Their function here could be to alert staff to a faulty or tripped circuit, or if there has been a security breach.
