What LED beads are used for the power board indicator light? Selection scheme for power board indicator lights
The power board indicator light is used to display the power status, normal output, and fault alarm. It lights up 24 hours a year and has the highest requirements for the lifespan and low light decay of the lamp beads. The dedicated indicator LED for Hongcheng Optoelectronic Power Board adopts A-grade chips and 99.99% gold wire packaging to ensure continuous illumination without attenuation for many years.
Key points for selecting power board indicator lights
- Long lifespan: The power indicator light is on all year round, and a low light decay model must be selected, with a light decay rate of less than 30% after 50000 hours.
- Package selection: 5mm/3mm direct insertion is used for panel outlet holes, and 0603/0805 patch is used for onboard.
- Color matching: green=power supply normal, red=fault, yellow=standby; Single position dual color optional red and green dual color LED beads.
- Voltage resistance and heat dissipation: Pay attention to the insulation and creepage distance of the lamp beads on the high-voltage power board, and insert the long legs directly for easy bending and shaping.
- Wide voltage: The 12V/24V power supply system can be customized with high-voltage LED components with current limiting resistors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: If the power indicator light is on all year round, how long will the light bulb dim?
Answer: Ordinary LED beads show significant light decay within 1-2 years, while industrial grade LED beads with low light decay after 50000 hours have a light decay of less than 30%. They can be used for more than 5 years when lit for 24 hours. see detailsRecommended low-power and long-life models.
