Pilot lights

Pilot lights provide visual information at a glance of the circuit’s operating condition. Pilot lights are normally used for “ON/OFF” indication, caution, changing conditions, and alarm signaling.

Pilot lights come with a color lens, such as red, green, amber, blue, white, or clear. A red pilot light normally indicates that a system is running. A green pilot light normally indicates that the system is off or d-energized. For example, a red pilot light located on a control panel would give visual indication that a motor was running. A green pilot light would give visual indication that a motor was stopped.
