Technical Information - Indicators

The majority of Arcolectric indicator lights can be supplied with alternative light sources:

Neon, Fluorescent, Filament lamp or LED.

NEON and FLUORESCENT LAMPS

Colours

Red, Amber and Clear neon, Green fluorescent.

Maximum striking voltages

Standard brightness types 65Vac 90Vdc,

High brightness types 85Vac 135Vdc.

High brightness types are usually fitted.

Life

Typically 25,000 hours (Green fluorescent lamps 20,000 hours).

(Measured to a point when the light output of the lamp is half its

original level.)  

The end of life for a neon lamp is not usually a sudden failure.

False signals due to long wiring

It is possible for neon or fluorescent tubes to glow when they should be

off. The false signal is caused by the capacitance effect of fairly long

wiring to the indicator being adjacent to other live cables.

This effect can be prevented in most cases by fitting a 100K resistor

across the supply wires close to the indicator assembly.
