White LEDs in Et-16 style indicating light sockets
White LEDs in Et-16 style indicating light sockets
(OP)
Is anyone else using the white LED bulbs in GE ET-16 indicating light sockets w/external resistors.
We have specified many of these with white, red, green & amber LED bulbs depending on application. We are seeming many of the white lights getting dim over 2+ years while the other colors are performing well. I've also noticed that the white LED cause the external resistor to run much hotter then the other colored units. We are using mainly 125VDC & I have checked that it is the properly sized resistor.
The vendor seems to surprised by these issues & has provided newer bulbs to replace with. I am interested to know if this is a common issue. If so we may look to use other colors or incandescent bulbs for the white light application.
Thanks
Andy
