Description
This LED illuminated arcade pushbutton is designed to fit in standard 30mm drilled holes, featuring a built-in LED that can be controlled independently from the switch action for indication or aesthetic purposes.
The pushbutton has a black plastic body and includes a lamp holder originally designed for incandescent lamps but easily adaptable for LED usage by wrapping the LED legs around the holder. It comes with a clear white LED, with the suggestion to replace it with a diffused LED of your preferred color for better backlighting effects. Additionally, the pushbutton can be disassembled to place an image under the clear cover for custom backlighting.
Equipped with a normally-open micro-switch, the switch is clicky and gives tactile feedback when actuated. The micro-switch can be snapped in or removed easily for LED changes.
