Choosing a signaling indicator for operator controls comes down to voltage, mounting size, and color flexibility. These two ten-piece sets both use LED light sources and are sold as new generic parts, but they target very different panel layouts. The first is a green 10mm pilot light rated for 120V AC and priced at $4.98. The second is a multi-color 22mm indicator rated for 110V AC/DC and priced at $19.50. The smaller set is a straightforward status lamp; the larger set gives you more signaling room. The right choice depends on your circuit voltage, the cutout diameter, and the number of states you need to display.
Quick Verdict
Pick the green set when you need a simple, clear "on" light and want a straightforward panel indicator. Pick the multi-color set when you need to communicate several operating conditions and want a more complete mounting solution. The green set is the straightforward route to basic indication; the multi-color set is the more capable route for a status-rich panel.

Where Each Product Wins
- The green set wins on simplicity. It offers a single-purpose signal light in a compact package.
- The multi-color set wins on versatility. It delivers a wider range of signal information and includes more mounting and wiring hardware.
Product Notes
10mm Green LED Pilot Lights (120V AC)
This set provides a green LED indicator in a compact 10mm body. It is designed for a 120V AC circuit, making it a good match for a basic power-on lamp. The reason to choose it is the straightforward design: one color, one voltage, and no complex wiring. The limitation is that fixed green output. If you need to show more than one condition from a single panel light, this set cannot tell them apart. It also won't run on DC, so it belongs in AC-only applications. With ten pieces in the package, you can cover several indicator positions while keeping a clean, small front panel.
22mm Multi-Color Indicator Lights (110V AC/DC)
This set brings a round 22mm panel mount in a plastic housing with an LED light source. It operates on 110V AC or DC, which suits a wider mix of circuits. The multi-color output allows you to assign a different color to each signal state, and the screw-clamp terminal combined with the panel locking nut provides a firm wire grip and stable mounting. The 20,000-hour life rating is a reassuring detail. The trade-offs are the larger cutout and the 110V rating, which means it is not designed for a 120V circuit. It fits the kind of control panels where multiple statuses need to be visible at a glance.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the green 10mm set when you need a compact, single-color status lamp and want a simple panel build. Choose the 22mm multi-color set when you need different colors for different signals, wider circuit flexibility, and the mounting convenience of a locking nut. Match the indicator to your existing panel cutout and power supply, and you'll end up with the right light for the job. A basic machine panel does fine with the green set; a more complex control panel with multiple operational states is where the multi-color version shows its value.
