Baomain 5/8" 16mm Push Button Switch Momentary Rectangular Cap LED Lamp Red Yellow Orange Blue Green Light DC 12V SPDT 5 Pin 5 Pack

Decent standard duty 12 VDC LED SPDT momentary button for round 16mm panel depth unkeyed hole. This is kit consisting of qty 5 ea. buttons of various colors as shown. To be clear: not high reliability, not industrial, not high current, not heavy duty, not deep panel mount. No complaints in general intermittent & light duty use, priced accordingly.

These are quickly becoming my favorite pushbutton switch! I am using both the momentary style and the push-push style. The light inside doesn't really glow the cap equally; it is brighter in the center, but that is a really minor point. Supposedly you can pop off the cap to put a legend inside, but so far I have not had success doing that. I'm afraid of prying too hard and breaking the switch, so I can't verify it does come off.

Initial testing shows that these switches should do what I want quite well. I'm making a control panel; they will connect to a microcontroller. The switches have 3 pins (SPDT) with 2 separate pins for the LED.I must say I expected the whole rectangle to light up uniformly, but the lit area is circular. Not a deal-breaker but something to be aware of. They light brightly at 12 volts according to their specification, but when you get down to 5 volts each one is different. Some are still bright and some are very dim. This is something to be aware of if you're planning to try them at 5 volts.I took one apart to see if I could replace the resistor but you can't; the LED is firmly fixed and it's possible that the resistor is actually integrated into it. The LED is the same color as the switch front and is actually a special kind of LED with 3 active spots. The switches are clicky and seem to work with some kind of buckling spring mechanism. The only downside for me is that the fronts of some of them were scuffed and scratched, otherwise they would get 5 stars.

Very nice looking.

Nicely made and just the right size to be able to write on the display area using paper cut to size.The only thing would make them better is if they would also come in a waterproof version. But I will purchase them again in the future.

A good looking push-button switch. You can remove the colored button and place an adhesive (black on clear) label on the inner white surface and replace the colored cover. This way the switch labels are protected and really looks nice. The bad part is the mounting nut will strip the threads when tightening. I plan to use washers made of double sided sticky tape to prevent the switches from moving. I recommend push-on terminals instead of soldering wire connections.

I can't say much pro or con about these switches. They are what they are. A "Normally Open" momentary contact push button switch. They come with a colored lens, but I would be happier if they were provided with 5 sets of lenses of various colors, so that we could choose the color of the lens, or match the color of the lens depending on the application of the switch. Else offer a kit of replacement colored lenses so the we could pick the color ourselves, to be purchased. The detractor is one must purchase multiple kits to match lenses, for the number of switches needed. ie If two switches are needed to be the same color, one must buy two packs of switches to get one set of matching color switches. Being able to purchase or provide multiple switch len's would be nice.

Great price! They look good when not lit up. Overall quality seems good. BUT, the illumination pattern is a circle, not a nice diffuse even illumination of the rectangular button. I consider this a big disappointment. I may very well seek out high-quality (expensive) pushbutton switches from Swiss manufacturer EAO, or perhaps e-Switch.
