GC8 Oil Pressure Warning Light - At What Pressure Does It Trigger?

Away from home just now so wanting to quickly double check; do the standard pressure switches trigger at 2.1psi?

Thanks!

as above if you see that light its already game over, fit an aftermarket gauge with a warning of 2 bar (around 29 psi i think) should give ample warning. i have my defis set at 2 bar for oil pressure.
