inductive LED
(OP)
Could anyone please point me in the direction for a supplier in th UK for "inductive LEDs"?
We have some ovens and for each element there is an LED indicator ,which has a coil on the back, on the control panel. The supply to the element wraps twice around the coil and that supplies enough current to drive the LED. It's really useful for indicating when an element has failed, and I'd like to get some for some more ovens we're buying.
I only need small quantities though (10 or 20 at a time).
A few years ago someone here posted a link to a supplier, however I have lost the information and couldn't find it in a thread search.

However they are a complete unit, ready assembled and ready for panel mounting.
All neat and simple.
If there's a really easy way of making your own then I'm all ears.
(Or should that be "eyes"?)

I have never heard of these and found none searching the net. Are they Led driven by a small transformer, or are they truely coupled inductively with the led leads open? I'm assuming these are 60 hertz elements.

Is this what you are looking for?
RE: inductive LED
Thanks I've seen these used it triac circuit but never as an indicator. I think I should have searched on something other than inductive Led's.

The link from itsmoked look quite similar to the items I need. Probably not the same manufacturer but I'll Google a bit more and see if I can get some in the UK.
It's tricky when you don't know the correct terminology, but it's good to learn something new everyday if you can.
I might have a go at making some.
They don't call me Rob "Wizard at Electronics" Ward for nothing.
Or ar all, actually, but I'll have a trawl through the RS and Farnell catalogues and see if I can get some toroids as per Operahouse's spec, then it'll be a case of trial and error.
What's the worst that can happen...!?

Naw yer not a wimp... Makes a lot more sense. Invent something new instead!
Glad it helped.
Cheers.
