The switches work like any other toggle switch. On the other hand, the indicator lights do not work well. I connected 4 switches to my boat's console to power the headlights and the aerator pump. The switches turn on and off normally but the red light is dim or not working at all on all 4 switches. I'm absolutely sure they're connected properly and I'm absolutely sure the connection at the spade lugs is good. The knives are soldered to the connecting wire. I received 6 of these switches in total and all (ALL) have faulty LED indicators within the switch itself. If you don't mind the switches being off, they work. Do yourself a favor, save a few bucks and buy plain chrome switches. This saves you from unnecessary cables and you don't expect them to catch fire. For the record, I've written dozens of reviews on all types of products over the years, and I don't post negative reviews lightly.
