Pilot Light and Beacon Color Standards

Pilot Light and Beacon Color Standards

Pilot Light and Beacon Color Standards

(OP)
Hello,

I was just asked a question about indicator colors and if there is some industrial standards that says what a color represents.  It has been my experience RED means the equipment is faulted or in alarm status, Amber means Warning and Green All is good.  However, there are a few more colors to choose from when it comes to selecting pilot lights and beacons.  I did some searching on the WEB and to no avail came up empty handed.  Then I found this Forum and I thought maybe someone in this community could help me out.

Busbar,

Thanks a million.  I should have searched a little harder and found those threads.  I knew this topic had been discussed at some point in time. I found the discussion informative and a bit humorous (LAVA lamps), that's great.
I guess I came to the right spot.  

Thanks again,

PNeill
