Leviton Compact Despard Pilot Light, 1-Pole, 125/250V AC

The Leviton Compact Despard Pilot Light is a space-saving indicator device built for use within Leviton's Compact Despard-style device system. Rated 125/250-Volt AC, with a 3-Amp rating at 125-Volt and a 1-Amp rating at 125/250-Volt, this 1-pole pilot light device provides clear circuit-status indication while occupying only a fraction of a standard device opening. Its compact Despard footprint allows it to be combined with switches, receptacles, and other pilot lights within a single gang space, making it a practical choice for electricians and panel builders who need to maximize functionality in limited wall or panel real estate. Designed for straightforward integration into Despard-compatible wallplates and device carriers, this pilot light supports efficient, organized control and indication layouts.

Key Features

Leviton 10097-8 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Leviton 10097-8 pilot light fit in the same gang as my Despard switches?
Yes. The 10097-8 uses the Compact Despard footprint, so it mounts in a Despard device strap or carrier alongside other Despard switches, receptacles and pilot lights, with up to three devices sharing a single gang opening. It needs a Despard-style wallplate with the matching openings, not a standard toggle or decorator plate.
2) What voltage and current can the Leviton 10097-8 Despard pilot light handle?
It is rated 125/250V AC, with 3A at 125V and 1A at 125/250V. That covers typical 120V indication on a control or lighting circuit and 240V indication at the lower current. It is a 1-pole device, so it wires for simple on/off circuit status, not two-circuit indication.
3) Can an Eaton 30.5 mm pilot light be used instead of the Leviton 10097-8 Despard pilot light?
No - they mount in completely different places. The Leviton 10097-8 is a Compact Despard-style device, rated 125/250V AC at 3A, that drops into a Despard wallplate or device carrier and shares a single gang opening with other Despard switches and receptacles. The Eaton 10250T79 is a 30.5 mm heavy-duty incandescent full-voltage pilot light unit rated 24 Vac/dc, which mounts in a 30.5 mm punched hole in an enclosure door or panel face. If the opening is a Despard-strap wallplate, the Eaton unit will not fit it, and the 24 V rating is a different control voltage besides.
4) I need a panel-mount indicator for a 30.5 mm hole, not a wallplate - what should I use?
Use a 30.5 mm indicator rather than a Despard device. The Eaton 10250T79 is a 30.5 mm heavy-duty incandescent full-voltage pilot light unit for 24 Vac/dc, and the ABB P9XUVRD0 is a Uniblok green pilot light indicator with a refractive lens. The Leviton 10097-8 is a Compact Despard pilot light and is built to sit in a Despard device carrier or wallplate opening alongside other Despard devices, so it is the right choice only where that strap-and-plate system is already in use.
5) Should I use a Despard pilot light or a 30.5 mm panel-mount pilot light for my control panel?
Two different mounting jobs. The Leviton 10097-8 is a Despard device that drops into a wall box or device strap behind a wallplate, which suits status indication next to switches in finished walls or small panels. For a punched 30.5 mm hole in an enclosure door you want a heavy-duty panel indicator instead, such as the Eaton 10250T Series incandescent full-voltage pilot light unit, which we carry in a 24 Vac/dc version. The ABB Uniblok green indicator with refractive lens is another enclosure-mount option.
6) Do I need anything besides the pilot light itself to install it?
Yes. The 10097-8 is the device only. You supply the Despard mounting strap or device carrier and a Despard wallplate with the correct number of openings for however many devices you are ganging. Order those separately with the pilot light.
7) What is the difference between the Leviton 10097-8 pilot light and the Eaton Freedom C400GK cover control kit?
The Leviton 10097-8 is a single indicator device on its own - a 1-pole Compact Despard pilot light rated 125/250V AC, 3A at 125V, that you add to a Despard assembly to show circuit status. The Eaton C400GK is a Freedom-series cover control kit with a non-reversing pilot device in a NEMA 1 arrangement for 120V, intended to be fitted to a motor starter cover rather than a wallplate. Choose the Leviton part when you are building indication into a Despard device plate, and the Eaton kit when the indicator has to go on a Freedom starter enclosure cover.
8) What color is the Leviton Despard pilot light, and will it match my existing device assembly?
The body of the 10097-8 is black. If the other Despard devices on the strap are a different color, the pilot light will stand out in the plate opening, which is often what you want for a status indicator.
9) Is the Leviton 10097-8 a single-circuit or two-circuit indicator?
Single. It is a 1-pole device, so one pilot light tracks one circuit. If you need status on two circuits in the same gang, add a second Despard pilot light on the strap, which the compact footprint allows.
10) Does the Leviton 10097-8 come with a colored lens like the ABB Uniblok green indicator?
They are specified differently. The ABB P9XUVRD0 is a Uniblok pilot light indicator described with a green refractive lens. The Leviton 10097-8 is listed as a black Compact Despard pilot light, so if a specific lens color is called out on the drawing, confirm the color against the device you are specifying before ordering.
