Translucent Microswitch Buttons*Taking Pre-Orders*

<< < (43/80) > >>

Troz:
Took a few more photos...

Orange installed in panel

Lit buttons, lights out:
Orange - Red - Blue - Green

The green is harder to light as you can see in the photos.  It'll probably need a more powerful led than the rest of them.

Chris:
Are you using white LED's, or LEDs that match the color of the buttons?

oic989:
Got my buttons today.  Was a tad suprised there's not some pre-molded mounting hole for the LEDs, since they're intended to be lit up after all.

Am I to assume that the preferred method for lighting them up is to drill through the center of the flat part on the bottom between the cherry mounting pegs and point it straight up? Or are you guys just pointing the LED at the side of the button, since it's translucent and all.

I know I've seen directions around for mouting LEDs in microswitch buttons, but I don't have the link handy.

I'm just using a white LED flashlight aimed from below the button.  I haven't drilled into any of the buttons to install the LEDs I'll be using yet.

Sigh... Still waiting on invoices.
It's my own fault for living in Canada and asking for microswitches.

How long between the time you get the microswitches get there and the time you get the next order of clear buttons? I would include some yellow in the order as well if the time line is similar.
