Description

Allen Bradley Panelview 550 LED Backlight Bulb

One of the most common failures is the stock incandescent back light bulb overheats, causing the fiber optic to melt. This leads to extremely dim screens, some becoming completely unreadable. Knowing this issue, we created the LED back light bulb replacement. This bulb replaces the OEM incandescent back light bulb, it can be installed in minutes, and eliminates the chance of you damaging your equipment! Operating at only 30 degrees Celsius, because of the low current, the LED bulb is twice as bright as the Panelview 550 controller OEM bulb, yet cool enough to hold in your hand during operation, and will not cause any damage to your fiber optic whatsoever.


This works on all versions of the Panelview550 (2711-K*, 2711-T*, 2711-B*)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is included with the PanelView 550 LED Backlight?

The product includes one 2711‑NL1 LED Backlight bulb (MB550E), a plug-and-play cable kit, and an installation guide. It’s assembled and tested in Canada and backed by Monitech’s standard 1‑year warranty.

Which Allen‑Bradley PanelView 550 models are compatible?

This LED backlight is compatible with all Allen‑Bradley PanelView 550 terminals: 2711‑B*, 2711‑K*, and 2711‑T* series (including 2711‑K5/B5 models).

What are the main benefits of this LED upgrade?

The LED operates at low voltage (5 V), runs cooler (~30 °C), doubles brightness (~400 nits), eliminates fiber-optic melting, and uses a bipolar no-polarity plug for easy installation.

Can I install this backlight myself?

Yes. It's designed for plug-and-play installation and can be completed in minutes by maintenance personnel with moderate technical skill. Support and tech-installation videos are available online.

Is there any risk to my fiber-optic strands?

No. The LED runs at low temperatures to prevent fiber-optic melting—a common failure point with OEM incandescent bulbs.

What warranty and support do I get?

Monitech provides a standard 1‑year warranty on the MB550E LED backlight. For additional support or bulk orders, you can Contact Us. For full warranty terms, see our Terms of Warranty.
