Hockeyboy:

This is great info...I'm an electronics tech and this is still great information to pass around. Thanks!

Uhmmmm, can we have a picture of the results please ? Like to compare them to my lit (Knievl-style) leaf buttons.

JoyMonkey:

I have some translucent red leaf buttons sitting here; if I have time (and room) I'll wire one into my test panel beside a translucent red microswitch button to give a side by side comparrison. I only have 45

JoyMonkey:

Crud! I went to install a couple of the leaf buttons but realized that I don't have any pal nuts. Also, my button holders are black; so they wouldn't be recommended for a lit button. Time for another Bob Roberts order I think...

Anyways, here's some photos of the translucent microswitch buttons, with LEDs installed per the instructions above. It's really difficult to get a good photo of these, does anyone have any recommendations?
