Small Waterproof Panel Indicators
Floyd Bell's new Turbo Light™ is a small (approx. 1"x1") IP68 waterproof panel-mounted LED indicator with a NEMA 4X seal and revolutionary low-profile design with high-intensity output (up to 1,600 cd/m2).

A special fresnel lens pattern on the indicator effectively distributes the light and the unique design allows it to be seen from the side, offering an impressive 180° dispersion. In a durable polycarbonate plastic casing, the front-mount panel indicator is tamper-proof.

The Turbo Light™ is extremely energy efficient as well. Using a switching power supply, the indicator draws just 90mA. While many indicators on the market only operate at a specific voltage, the indicator's universal power supply allows it to operate at various voltages in the 9-30VDC range. The Turbo Light™ is available in 5 different colors and your choice of quick-connect or screw terminals. For specs and pricing ... Read More

INDUSTRY TRENDS
Stimulus Plan Expected to Boost "Green Collar" Entrepreneurs
Scott Deatherage, attorney who leads a climate change and renewable energy practice group at Dallas' Thompson & Knight says "The federal government's economic stimulus package includes $80 billion in incentives that promote improvements in energy efficiency and investments in alternative sources, such as solar, wind, geothermal and biofuels. So, the big winners in the plan may be emerging companies focused on offering services in the areas of renewable energy, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reductions. We're already working with a number of companies that are now better positioned with lenders, investors and purchasers. These 'green-collar' entrepreneurs are gaining funding and looking at the best means to market the stimulus plan's incentives, just as their potential customers are looking at the tax credits and loan guarantees available to them."
