Cole Hersee, the Commercial Vehicle Products division of Littelfuse,
Inc., announced that it has launched a new line of 12V
LED vehicle pilot lights. The solid-state LED pilot lights last longer than
incandescent bulbs, and may never need replacing. They run cooler, making them
safer and less susceptible to heat buildup that may have the potential to cause
fires. The energy efficient LED also reduces battery drain.
The
new 12V LED pilot lights come in a wide variety of bezel sizes and terminal
hole diameters. They are offered in red, amber, and green, with some models
available in blue or white LED. Most feature ¼-inch blade terminals, available
as screw terminals by special order. The PL-525/526 snap-in series is offered in
both steady and blinking versions.
With
no bulb to work loose, the lights are unaffected by vibration, contributing to
their longevity. With LED lights, fleet managers no longer need to maintain an
extensive inventory of replacement bulbs and use up valuable maintenance time
replacing bulbs. Less downtime for vehicles means more revenue-producing hours
per vehicle. LEDs are also unaffected by on-off cycling, and their brightness doesn’t diminish over time.
“LEDs
can function over a wider range of temperatures, from desert conditions to
frigid weather,” said Graeme Marsden, marketing communications manager for Littelfuse
CVP. “They are not susceptible to the corrosion that may occur in bulb bases
and sockets and they draw far fewer watts from your batteries for the amount of
light emitted.”

Chicago, IL-based Littelfuse, Inc., the worldwide leader in circuit protection,

Products division.
