How to identify

Check the old bulb base and holder.

Read voltage and wattage from the bulb or machine panel.

Confirm color requirement from the lens or machine function.

Photograph the panel holder if the bulb shape is unusual.

Buyer checks

Provide machine or panel application.

Confirm base, voltage, wattage and color.

State whether LED replacement is requested.

Confirm by RFQ for polarity, driver or circuit questions.

Confirm by RFQ

Indicator lamp replacement depends on circuit and holder design. AOTENG can review the supplied specification, but final machine compatibility should be Confirm by RFQ.

Common mistakes

Replacing an incandescent indicator with LED without checking polarity or circuit behavior.

Ignoring the holder depth.

Selecting by color name without confirming lens color and bulb color.

FAQ

Can LED replace an incandescent indicator lamp?

Sometimes, but polarity, voltage, socket and circuit behavior must be checked first.

What if the indicator has a colored lens?

Still confirm bulb color and lens color because the final visible color depends on both.

What should I send for panel lamp RFQ?

Send base, voltage, wattage, color, dimensions, holder photo, quantity and application.
