EZ-LIGHT TL50 Tower Lights from Banner Engineering provide highly visible operator guidance and indication of equipment status. Displaying up to five colours in one tower and allowing multiple colours to be lit simultaneously, these preassembled and preconfigured multisegment indicators replace conventional stack lights, which often require time-consuming assembly and complex wiring. Models featuring audible alert with adjustable intensity are available for applications requiring sound indication.
The tower lights appear grey when off to avoid false indication from ambient light and require less than 2 W of power, compared to 15 W for competitive units, making them an energy-efficient solution. The units have a water- and oil-tight industrial housing, making it possible to mount directly to machines, while standoff pipe and adapters are available for elevated mounting. Green, yellow, red, blue or white coloured LEDs are offered to meet a variety of application needs.
The EZ-LIGHT TL50 Tower Light features include:
* High visibility from all angles.
* Fitted with multicoloured, long-lasting (>100 000 hours) LEDs to minimise costly and inconvenient bulb replacement.
* Designed to shed debris and moisture.
* Provide for 18 to 30 V d.c. and 24 V a.c. supply voltage in one device.
* Offer bimodal NPN or PNP connection, depending on hook-up.
* Compatible with PLC or other logic-level control outputs.
* IP65 rated for general purpose models, IP50 rated for audible models.
