Illuminated Toggle Switch On / Off (Red)

Positives: Very impressive amp rating (20A) for high power projects. Cool design and excellent value; cheaper than some switches with lower amp ratings. Negatives: The switch required too much effort to flip. The missile switch cover has to remain vertical when the switch is ON and since I planned on mounting this switch on the side of my robot, the protrusion was not only unsightly but whenever the robot moves close to anything that taps the protrusion, the spring-action in the cover snaps the switch to the OFF position on its own.

I had to have some switches on my tank. just though they would look good.

When I described the next project, a coworker asked if it was going to have a missile switch. Yes, yes it will. The datasheet gives up and focuses on cool; so did I. PLEASE NOTE: Check out the review indicating that this isn't appropriate for applications where you wouldn't want a switch that could easily be turned off.

The flip cover is good silly fun. It is nice to have the light built in. I'm using one with a 24V supply with a 2000 ohm resistor and it is working quite nicely. Takes a bit of force to flip so works nicely when mounted onto something substantial.

Illuminated Toggle Switch On / Off (Red) is a robust excellent product that can be relied upon. I will definitely reorder soon.
