Benshaw Pilot Lights
Benshaw pilot lights are industrial control panel devices used to visually indicate the status of equipment, operating conditions, or alarm/warning conditions. These lights are used to inform operators, maintenance personnel and/or technicians of the operational status of a motor or electrical circuit — for example, whether it is on or off, running or faulted. In busy industrial environments, the visual indication provided by pilot lights enhance the safety and operating efficiency of the system.
Benshaw pilot lights are designed to be used with Benshaw starters, VFD panels or other Benshaw control systems. These lights provide visual indication of system status via a bright light. Offered in a variety of colors including red, green, amber, blue and white, pilot lights enable users to recognize system status based on standard industry color codes. Robustly constructed pilot lights are designed to provide long lasting performance in industrial environments subjected to vibration, temperature fluctuations, and continuous operation.
Most Benshaw pilot lights employ LED technology. LEDs are an attractive choice for pilot lights because they provide long operational life, low power consumption, and consistent intensity. LEDs are also known for their fast turn-on time and excellent visibility in high ambient light environments, making them suitable for a wide range of applications including indoor and protected outdoor locations. The compact pilot lights are typically mounted in standard size holes in control panels, providing panel builders and electricians with an easy to install light that is dimensionally compatible with other panel components.
