LED Lamps

LED replacement for incandescent bulbs in STS Rails' key-switches

The ‘next generation’ of LED filament lamps has been developed by STS Rail as a direct replacement for filament bulbs in keyboard and custom keypanel products.

Technical Benefits

The T1¾ sized, midget groove LED filament lamps offer the following technical benefits:

• Improved brightness and colour temperature superior to incandescent bulbs.
• Flat top design offers wide angle viewing and avoids pin-point illumination and hot spots.
• 10 fold increase in product lifetime, with MTBF of 100,000 hours of illumination (equivalent to over 11 years continuous use based on 250C ambient temperature).
• LEDs use around 70% less energy than filament bulbs with reduced running costs.
• Solid state unit features a single high-intensity warm white LED.
• Unique integral circuitry allows operation up to 60V dc without decreasing lifetime.

LED lamps offer maintenance free benefits over incandescent bulbs, since their service life is normally greater than the life of the system.

Key Benefits

• Reduced maintenance and service disruption.
• Truly reliable “fit-and-forget” solution.
• Reduced spares stock holding.
• Total encapsulation offers complete protection against shock, vibration and breakage.
• Environmentally friendly, RoHS compliant.
• Highly energy efficient with low running costs.
• Virtually no heat generation.
• Compatible with existing lamp removal tools.
• No glass to break causing injury or damage.
• Manufactured for industrial and rail applications.
• A backward compatible upgrade path for all existing STS Rail keyswitches and indicators, using two lamp variants:
Type ‘A’ (Anode centre contact) SP-6500-1525
Type ‘C’ (Cathode centre contact) SP-6500-1556
