What are industrial panel mount indicators and switch indicators?

Industrial panel mount indicators or switch indicators are industry-standard electric lights, typically installed over a flat wall-like surface or panel. These indicator lights are durable, designed for low energy consumption, and are used for a wide range of indication functions. 

Types of industrial panel mount indicators and switch indicators

Industrial panel-mount indicators and switch indicators are available in a variety of colours, shapes, and sizes. The colours used are usually bright colours like red, green, and yellow, as in traffic lights. The bright colours and larger sizes of the switch indicators capture the attention of users faster and more easily.

Why are industrial panel mount indicators and switch indicators important?

As the name suggests, the panel mount indicators are important for indicating to users the status of equipment, machinery, or processes, or as a safety indication. But unlike normal indicator lights, industrial panel-mount indicators and switch indicators are installed on panels in such a way that they protrude at the front of the device. This makes these types of indicator lights more prone to damage caused by environmental and industrial agents. However, the durable, industry-grade body of these devices is well capable of withstanding the harsh environments of the industrial and outdoor workspace. As such, they have become important components of industrial, construction, defence, and military applications.
