SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS A LIGHT EMITTING DIODE, SSL'S PROVIDE RELIABILITY AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE INTEGRATED AND HYBRID CIRCUITS FINDING INCREASED USE IN AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS. THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT PRODUCED BY AN SSL IS SUFFICIENT FOR MANY APPLICATIONS AS AN INDICATOR AND FOR LOW LEVEL ILLUMINATION AS IS SOMETIMES USED WITH THE HI-BEAM INDICATOR. FOR EDGE LIGHTING AND RELATIVELY HIGH BACK PANEL LIGHTING, HOWEVER, THE INCANDESCENT LAMP MUST STILL BE USED. /AUTHOR/
