PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Round LEDs offer superior light out-
put for excellent readability in sun-
light and dependable performance.
They provide extremely stable light
output over long periods of time.
These lamps are made with an ad-
vanced optical-grade epoxy offering
superior high-temperature and high-
moisture-resistance performance in
outdoor signal and sign applications.
