Toggle switches are offered in 2, 3, and momentary positions. Switches are brushed aluminum looking and have a red colored lens at the very end that lights up when powered on. These switches are samples from a vendor that my company is currently considering putting into our boat gauge and switch panels. There is a very good chance that I can get my hands on some for a decent price. If there is enough interest in them I will check on pricing.
Welcome to the boards. That's good looking hardware. I've seen the approximately same item at my hardware store for around US$10. They remind me of the switches in the pods in the Planet of the Apes remake. I'd be curious about the price, I bet those are watertight if you're speccing them for a marine application. I bet they'll come in higher than a tenner.
im looking for those , preferrably black aluminum, with green leds ... would be beautiful on my next fanbus .. dpdt if possible.
Well, I'm assumong that since its for a boat the lights prolly operate on 12v, but just want to make sure. I've noticed a lot of lighted switches want 120v AV 8( Those are pretty nice looking, I would be interested if they didnt cost too much.
As a point of reference, I got this SPST Calterm lighted switch at Wal-Mart for under three bux: And it looks pretty damn similar to me except for the lack of an aluminum nut.
nice looking switch, what section was it in? auto? does light run off 12v dc? you gonna mod it to blue? hehe
ya linear, i can get those exact same switches out at the dirt mall for like 2 bux a pop, with red, green or bloo led's in em ...
I search both maplin and RS for toggle switches with led's in the end when i was planning a fanbus a while back .... I couldn't find them anywhere
