This lamp typically comes standard with a dual-colored red and green LEDs within a single compact unit, owing to its origins from LED Autolamps’ equivalent automotive-styled range. The SO58RGM includes two super-bright LEDs that are housed inside a specially designed and enhanced lens. This combination creates a bright, wide viewing angle of light instantly alerting operators. The standout features for this lamp is its separately wired circuits for each color as well, independent earthing wires making them ideal for 2-way rotary switches. The SO58RGM utilizes a surface-mounted fitting method, most commonly used in the automotive industry but unique to panel switch lights.

Installation merely requires fixing the bracket to the fitting surface and then clipping the lens in place, cleverly hiding the screws and creating a tidy, professional finish. Harsh operational environments demand a stand out performer and rest assured the SO58RGM is up to the task. Polycarbonate plastics have been used for the lens, ideal for strength, durability and UV resistance, as well as an ABS base to finish the build.
