Review on AutoEC Green LED Toggle Switch Control for Cars, Trucks, and Rocker Vehicles - 3pc Set, On-Off, 12V by Nick Whitman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The current design seems to be on its head

I bought these a few years ago and they fit well enough for all my projects. Note. I always have a 560 ohm resistor connected to the ground terminal as I don't believe the resistors are actually built into it. When I ran out of the first pack, I bought another one. However, the new batch was different from the first. My entire first batch was built with an LED on the "on" side of the switch, which made sense since the LED is on when the switch is on. The new batch was built to be upside down for me: the LED is on the "off" side but still glows when the switch is on (see photo). I'm not sure if it was intentional. Design change or something, but I'm not a fan of the batch I just received and probably won't be using it for anything important. I'm definitely not going to use them with my old switches because it's just confusing.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Boring packaging
