Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fault detector of signal lamp which can detect an open fault of an LED for display and reduction of the emitted light quantity due to the end of the life. SOLUTION: The emitted light quantity of an LED 3 for monitor connected in series to an LED 2 for display of a signal lamp is monitored by a circuit 9. The LED 2 for display and the LED 3 for monitor of the same production lot are used and are arranged on the same substrate. The emitted light quantity of the LED 3 for monitor is reduced by an open fault of the LED 2 for display or the end of the life of the LED 3 for monitor. When the emitted light quantity of the LED 3 for monitor reaches a prescribed value or smaller, the output of an operational amplifier 8 is inverted from the low level to the high level, and the output of a gate 13 is inverted from the low level to the high level to release energizing of an alarm relay 12, and an alarm is outputted to the outside. Since the LED 2 for display and the LED 3 for monitor of the same production lot are used and are placed in practically equivalent environments, the end of the life of the LED for display can be estimated by the end of the life of the LED for monitor.
