Minneapolis, MN—June 11, 2007—Banner Engineering Corp. announcesthe addition of the K50L and K80L to its extensive line of EZ-LIGHT™ indicatorlights. The highly visible 50 mm dome indicator, in a choice of two housing styles,can be mounted almost anywhere. The K50L and K80L offer an alternative solutionto cumbersome post and stack lights with a compact, low-profile design for easyinstallation and use in challenging plant applications. These indicator lights feature brightlycolored solid or flashing LEDs for optimal viewing and are available in fourconfigurations.

“K50L and K80L indicator lights come in two compact, unobtrusive designs foreasy mounting wherever you need them—directly on a machine, elevated orflat-mountedto a wall or DIN rail,” said Joe Dolinsky, Banner's EZ-LIGHT product manager. “Theserobust, highly visible models indicate sensor status in difficult to access areas,and they solve a variety of assembly line applications by indicating and verifyingpart selection.” Dolinksy adds, “The solid-state LEDs eliminate bulb replacement,and the rugged fully-encapsulated housing withstands washdown and other demandingindustrialenvironments.”

Applications. EZ-LIGHT K50L and K80L indicator lights replace difficult-to-manage post or stack lights with conveniently sized, easy to mount units suitable for a wide range of applications. Examples include the following:
  • Operator guidance
  • Monitoring industrial plant machinery
  • Signaling assembly part requests
  • Automatic car wash status indication
  • Assembly line error proofing and verification
  • Brew tank level status indication
  • Part placement indication in kitting operations
K50L and K80L models feature large, translucent domes with brightly colored,long lasting LEDs in up to 5 colors, depending on the model. EZ-LIGHT indicatorsare rated up to IP69K (some models), providing sealed, water and oil-tight housingfor direct machine mounting or in washdown environments. Also, K50L and K80Lmodels are compatible with PLCs or other logic-level control outputs. Modelsareavailablein four configurations for a variety of applications.
