The CB8 is a clip-on yellow LED illumination block that turns any CP or CM series pushbutton or switch into a backlit control, without needing a separate indicator lamp. It's a simple way to add warning or caution-status signalling behind a switch you already have installed, clips on without tools, and is held in UK stock for fast dispatch.
Technical Details
Frequently Asked Questions
Which switches does this fit?
It clips onto EMAS's CP and CM series pushbuttons and switches, adding LED backlighting to units that weren't originally illuminated.
What voltage does it need?
12-30V AC/DC, suited to PLC and relay-driven low-voltage circuits.
What does yellow typically indicate on a control panel?
Yellow is conventionally used for "warning," "standby," or "caution" status, though final colour coding should follow your site's safety and HMI standards.
Can I add this to a switch I've already installed?
Yes — it's designed as a clip-on retrofit, so you don't need to replace the whole switch to add backlighting.
Industry Applications
- Manufacturing control panels — retrofitting backlit warning/standby status to existing pushbuttons and switches
- Panel upgrades — adding visual confirmation to previously unlit caution controls
- HVAC & pump control panels — pre-alarm or maintenance-due backlighting
