Review on πŸ”² APIELE 16mm Latching Push Button Switch: 12V DC On-Off With LED Angel Eye Head - Black Shell | Industrial Electrical by Marcus Hargrave

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly. Exactly what I needed for the 12v switch in my F150

Very happy with the price. The body of the switch is all metal, which is nice. It comes with an o-ring that you need to remove and put back in place after inserting it into the hole. This will help keep the nut in place. Wiring was easy, albeit a little confusing due to the instruction page provided. It took me a few times to figure out how it works. The switch is lightly pressed at "ON" and flushed at "OFF". The cool thing is that it can be plugged in to make it work anyway, including the LED so it can be "ON" when flushing if you want it to. The LED is a bit too bright, but only at night. In a car at night I wouldn't want them high up on the dash because if you had several there would be too much light. Mine was mounted low on the center console and that's fine. I wish the LED was a little less bright, but that's what it is. Tip - use a "step drill" to drill the hole. This allows you to quickly and easily drill large, centered holes in plastic or thin metal.

Pros
  • Push button switch
Cons
  • So far so good
