LED LIGHT

There are as many indicators as there are existing controls. Vehicles have several lights built into the dashboard, but these may not be enough. If you want to install a new option or replace a light in your vehicle, you can choose the LED light. The LED indicator is a very practical electronic accessory, it allows you to have good visibility of the status of your mechanisms and options. Its scope of use is very wide, it can equip any vehicle, from light to utility to heavy duty. The LED indicator is an indicator between the electrical system to which you connect it and the activation button. It looks like a cylinder with an indicator light at the end, and a connection to the vehicle's electrical system. It exists in several formats and in several colors, it can be fixed or screwed. Its installation, however, requires certain skills because it must be connected to the vehicle's electrical system. Call a professional if you do not have the necessary skills. Choose your LED indicator according to the brand and the material and coating for long use, and respecting various standards.

Role and characteristics of the LED indicator

Today's LED indicators are specially designed for long-term use. They thus fulfill several technical characteristics, for maximum use. They are made of resistant materials, brass, epoxy, and are resistant to humidity and cold with a seal system. You can therefore install them outside. The LED lights can be used as an accessory or to replace the lights already present on the vehicle. There are panel mount LEDs, rear mount LEDs, snap-on LEDs, etc. They serve as a signal, but also as the operating status of an option. It tells you if a vehicle option is on or off, if there is an alert or a breakdown or if an element no longer works. There are warning LED light, indicator LED light, emergency LED light, etc. Its field of use is very varied, and it adapts to a lot of equipment, you can adapt it with sensors so that it has a warning role for example.

Choose your LED light

The LED indicator exists in several specifications and characteristics depending on its use, and depending on the mechanism to which it is connected. It will therefore be necessary to take into account the voltage, the maximum resistance, but also the intensity. Aesthetically, it can be of various materials, in brass, steel or shiny chrome or in plastic. The ideal LED light is one that meets several established standards, for example in terms of waterproofing (EN 60529). Its size varies and its diameter can vary, however there are standards. It can be one-color (in red), two-color (changes color to red or green) or three-color (red, orange and green). The LED light can be without a pattern, or presented with the pattern for which it fulfills the function (e.g. oil, flashing, fire, etc.). The LED indicator must be compatible with your electrical and electronic system, you will need to check the supply voltage and the type of connection. LEDS lights that meet current standards have a fairly long lifespan unlike cheap lights, for example they are guaranteed up to 100,000 hours of use.
