Everyone wants to do their part for the environment and reducing power consumption can make a small but notable difference. Omron redesigned lighted pushbuttons, selector switches and indicators to take advantage of ultra-bright, energy-saving LEDs. Currently available on 16 mm models, the new LEDs will be available soon on 22 mm models.

Bright, Evenly Lit Colors - Design your control panels with Omron’s ultra-bright switches for appealing aesthetics and rich color evenly distributed across the lighted surface. Compared to Omron’s previous LEDs, switches that use the new lamp are a full 20% brighter, which improves visibility for operators.

How Big is the Energy Savings? - Depending on the lamp voltage and color, Omron has reduced the current consumption by 20% to 73%. The milliamps saved add up to a fair energy savings over the years of operation as well as increased LED lifetime.

Eliminate Wiring Errors - The 12 V and 24 V switches now accept both AC and DC voltages. Non-polarized terminals are now provided to eliminate polarity errors during wiring. This flexibility also helps reduce inventory costs for panel builders and for customers who buy their machines.
