LAMPS

from MICRO SWITCH in 28 volt versions.

Use of neon lamps is not recommended.

Light output is approximately 30% of an

incandescent lamp. Also, a neon lamp

will not illuminate blue or green filters or

display screens due to the absence of

these colors from the neon light spec-

trum.

LAMP POLICY

The 28 volt lamps are offered as a conve-

nience to customers. Honeywell MICRO

SWITCH Division does not extend any

warranty as to such lamps, and cannot

guarantee to provide lamps from specific

manufacturers. Any technical or quality

questions regarding such lamps should

be directed to the lamp manufacturer.

COLOR FILTERS FOR PROJECTED

COLOR

Projected color is achieved by using

white buttons and color filters over clear

lamps. When lamps are lighted, white

button takes on color projected by the

filters.

Filters used with type 2C200 and 2F200

housings (no-tool relamping) slip over

lamp sockets in lampholder.
