EATON Special Lamps

In industrial control panels, signal towers, and operator stations, every light source has a diagnostic purpose. Eaton special lamps form the illumination core for signaling, indication, and pilot circuits used across machinery, switchboards, and automation systems. They convert electrical events into clear visual feedback — red for stop, green for run, amber for warning — allowing maintenance teams to respond instantly without opening enclosures. For buyers managing spare stocks or assembling control panels in volume, this range offers electrical compatibility, color consistency, and long service life.

Technical Overview

• Voltage range: 6 V – 250 V AC/DC (common types: 12 V, 24 V, 110 V, 230 V).
• Base styles: BA9s, E10, T5.5, wedge, and LED cartridge.
• Lamp technologies: filament, neon, and LED (standard and high-intensity).
• Color options: red, green, yellow, blue, white, clear.
• Mounting format: compatible with 16 mm / 22 mm pilot devices and tower modules.
• Standards: EN 60947-5-1, UL 508, CE, RoHS.
• Operating temperature: –25 °C … +70 °C depending on lens and base material.

Eaton signal lamps

Used in control towers, cabinets, and panel fronts. Provide continuous or flashing status indication. Signal lamps withstand vibration and are visible even under bright ambient light, helping operators detect system states from a distance.

Other Eaton products:

Eaton indicator lamps

Compact versions for densely packed panels. They integrate directly into pushbutton assemblies or mimic boards to indicate device condition, PLC output, or protection trip. Engineers choose them for fast diagnostics in MCC and PLC enclosures.

Eaton pilot lamps

Installed as standalone operator indicators or within pushbutton assemblies. Pilot lamps are typically combined with contact blocks and bezels from the same system family, maintaining IP65 sealing and unified lens colors throughout the machine line.

Eaton special purpose lamps

These include high-brightness and long-life models for safety signals, test benches, and instrument panels. They maintain color stability under continuous operation and resist voltage fluctuation, suitable for process plants and energy facilities.

Eaton industrial lamps

Built for harsh environments — oil mist, dust, temperature shifts. Their reinforced lenses and sealed housings guarantee longevity in production halls, power stations, or outdoor control cabinets. Maintenance intervals are significantly reduced compared to generic equivalents.

Eaton replacement lamps

Spare bulbs and LED cartridges for pilot lights and indicators. Supplied in standard voltages and bases to fit legacy control panels. Stocking these ensures fast restoration after failures without rewiring or changing sockets.

Procurement Considerations

For wholesale buyers and integrators, the main criteria are:

1. Voltage standardization — 24 V DC or 230 V AC options across all stations to simplify spares.
2. Lamp technology — switching from filament to LED cuts maintenance while preserving brightness.
3. Color uniformity — ensure identical chromatic tone across production lines and HMIs.
4. Socket compatibility — confirm fit with existing holders (BA9s/E10) and Eaton pilot assemblies.
5. Lifecycle cost — LED modules may cost more upfront but last 20–30× longer than incandescent types.
6. Packaging — bulk trays or labeled boxes streamline inventory control for assembly lines.

Application Examples

• Control panels: visual feedback for motor start/stop, fault, and mode indication.
• Machine tools: pilot lamps integrated into pushbutton stations for spindle and coolant signals.
• Conveyor systems: tower lamps and signal beacons coordinated via PLC outputs.
• Energy and HVAC systems: voltage presence, breaker trip, or temperature alarm indication.
• Marine and transport equipment: robust industrial lamps rated for shock and humidity.

Bulk Supply and Distribution

Eaton’s signaling range is standardized, making it ideal for volume assembly or maintenance contracts. Wholesale lots include mixed voltages and colors packaged for production-line consumption. Distribution across Europe covers UK, Germany, Netherlands, Baltics, France, Spain, and Belgium with predictable lead times.
