Red indicator lamp on a non-modular plate, 240 V AC — glows to show that a circuit, socket or appliance point is live; part of the 6A switch range.
- Large red lens, easy to see at a glance.
- For 240 V AC mains.
- White plate with a fixing hole at the top and bottom.
- Polycarbonate body, like the rest of this non-modular range.
- Connects across phase and neutral and draws only a tiny current.
- Fits in alongside 6A non-modular switches and sockets on the same board.
- Does not switch or protect anything — it only shows that power is present.
An indicator lamp lights up whenever supply reaches it, so you can see at a glance that a circuit is live. This one has a large red lens on a white plate that matches the non-modular 6A switches, and it is screwed onto the switchboard beside the switch or socket it serves.
The "6A" in the name places it in the 6A non-modular range, alongside the 6A switches and sockets it is fitted with; the lamp itself draws only a tiny current and does not carry the load. Connect it on the load side of a switch to show that the switch is on, or across the supply to show that power is present.
How to connect it
- On the load side of a switch — it glows only while that switch is on.
- Straight across phase and neutral — it glows whenever the supply is on.
Where to use it
- Geyser, AC and pump points on non-modular boards.
- Main and sub boards, as a mains-on light.
- Shops, offices and workshops, to show that equipment is powered.
How to install
- Switch off the supply at the MCB.
- Connect one terminal to the phase — on the load side of the switch it should follow — and the other terminal to the neutral.
- Fix the indicator to the switchboard with two screws and switch on to check that it glows.
Electrical work should be done by a licensed electrician with the supply switched off.
Frequently asked questions
- What is an indicator lamp for?
- It glows whenever supply reaches it, so you can see that a circuit, socket or appliance point is live. It does not switch or protect the circuit.
- Why is it called a 6A indicator?
- It is part of the 6A non-modular range and is fitted alongside 6A switches and sockets. The lamp itself draws only a tiny current and does not carry the load.
- Does it need a neutral?
- Yes. It is connected across phase and neutral; without the neutral it cannot glow.
- How do I make it show that the geyser is on?
- Connect it on the load side of the geyser switch, so it glows only while that switch is on.
- Is this for modular switchboards?
- No. It is a non-modular, plate-type indicator for boards with piano-type switches. For modular boards, choose our 1 module neon indicator.
