Review on ESUPPORT Car Marine Green LED Toggle Switch Dash 4Pin Pack Of 5 by Ryan Cross

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pretty decent inexpensive switch. But. NOT LED

This is of average quality for very cheap switches. However, they are not LED. (I'd give it a 4 if I didn't think the LED thing was fooling) It's still a great deal for a 5 switch if it stays at $14. Note, however, that they are not lit by an LED. There is no LED in the package and switch. I disassembled one because there was no schematic or documentation and checked and tested the bulb. The indicator light in this switch is a regular, old, everyday 12 volt incandescent bulb. There is no other way to scroll it. You can of course use this to turn the LED on and off if you wish. but you need to supply this LED by yourself. Bad. false advertising and a little more power consumption through the turn signal than an LED would have. Fine. In contrast to an LED, polarity does not play a role with a test lamp. and in a chain with dimming. If it is connected properly, it will work fine. Technically it is a DPST or 2 pole one way switch with a lamp connected to the middle two terminals. You can connect it in different ways. The goal is to switch the positive side of the circuit and use the lamp to indicate that the load is powered, power a middle terminal, connect the load to the outer terminal on the side that is you have powered, and then ground the other outer terminal. (Leave the other center terminal unconnected on the side you grounded) If you want to switch the ground side of the circuit and use a lamp to indicate that the load is grounded, ground a center terminal, close the load to the external connector on the side you grounded, and then turn on the other external connector (leave the other middle connector on the side you turned on unconnected). There are still a few things you could do, but the above two scenarios are the most likely.

Pros
  • understandable even for the old ones
Cons
  • No color needed
