LED Switch Top / Push Button Illuminators

Forge Europa LED technology is ideally-suited to switch top and push button illumination. With low current consumption - typically 35mA - LEDs emit very little heat, keeping temperatures low within the switch housing. Their long life means negligible maintenance and low ownership costs.

LEDs now come in the full visible spectrum of colours, so switch top designers can dispense with coloured filters and enjoy increased legend definition. They are much more shock-resistant than incandescent lamps and have a better on/off response in standard switching or flashing modes.

The benefits of using LEDs for switch top / push button illumination:

Low power consumption - typical 35mA
Extended life over incandescent lamp - negligible maintenance costs
Very low heat dissipation - lower temperature within the switch housing
True white illumination - increased legend definition
Wide range of LED colours available - coloured filters not required
Increased resistance to failure due to shock over incandescent lamp
High speed on/off response in standard switching or flashing modes
