Signal lamps with white and blue LEDs
15 August 2001
Interconnection
Signal lamps with LEDs offer a longer service life and consume less energy than signal lamps with filament bulbs. However, up to now this involved the problem that only red LEDs had a really bright light. Although green and yellow LEDs have also been used, their luminescence is insufficient in many cases. The same is true for white and blue LEDs, which in addition have only been available at extremely high prices.
Rafi recently developed a new LED generation to solve these problems: it comprises LEDs in all of the five colours. Rafi now offers a new signal lamp product range with red, yellow, white, blue and superbright green LEDs. The signal lamps are designed for a panel cut-out diameter of 5, 9 or 10 mm and are rated for a 24-28 V power supply. For the pushbuttons, control components and signal lamps with replaceable illumination elements, there are single-chip LEDs available for the following sockets: MG 5.7 s/9; T4.5; BA9s; T1 BiPin and W2x4.6d.
