Continuing the theme of industrial control panel products from China I bought a selection of control panel indicators including standard sized units and the smallest one with a selection of voltages including 220V and 380V.

360-380 volts is fairly common as a machine voltage here in the US.
I once had to replace the ballast in fluorescent fixture in a retail store. I turned off the strip of lights the burnt out fixture was on and started to work on top of an aluminium ladder. I got a shock from the fixture because it turned out that this particular fixture was on separate circuit because it was one of the security lights that is left on all night when all the other lights are turned off. Like you said, always check your voltage again.
Interesting how current flows backwards in the U.K…from pos to neg.
I have bought these and use them for various commercial applications. I set up a test of all 5 of the LED's on 120 volt. 1.5 years has passed with 24/7/365 application. here is my conclusion. The red and green remain as bright as originally installed. The white is the dimmest, followed by blue and yellow. Those 3 have dimmed dramatically. I have used the red/green on motor control distribution boards. The white/blue/yellow for other 'load on' applications on alternating motor systems, remote loads, etc. .
I bought a 6mm indicator rated 240V I figure there was no way to have a ballast cap or a ballast resistor in that size.
I measured at 20VDC ant it took 10 mA = 200mW I did not dare to put 240V across it was bright enough for me at 10mA so added a 5W ballast resistor.
these dont work with 230v ?
Too bright. Who wants to go blind?
You have a fascination with lights! I have too but led lights for my classic motorbike. Been so hard to find bright amber indicator bulbs and bright stop/tail, never mind a headlamp bulb that will dip/high properly
I make my own as they can be a bit pricey and often aren't at the desired voltage. Get a sizable switch with a plastic body and make a hole large enough for the LED. It does need a bit more extra wiring and circuit but one has more flexibility in brightness, colour, light effect (ie flashing), and voltage.

Clive, have you looked at similar indicator lights that detect amperage?,
I want to plug in a SMALL led indicator light directly to 120 V to show when a recirculating pump is on. Can you please help me to order the right led light
I was looking at your web site bigclivedotcom
Asking for dollars for cake ..YOU know it would be spent on gin and wiskey. Hahah love it
I ordered a multipack of 230v indicators wired as a bridge rectifier and ended up powering them with a dc supply but with a flip/flop circuit and npn / pnp transistors to swap the polarity at about 2hz and it makes for a very atractive indicator. The yellow one looks great. It does worry me that these things are being wired to 240v and 450 (shudder) Thats just and accident waiting to happen when it fails and someone thinks…. ooh its off !!!!! neee goood
