Hi
As I plan my panel, I thought it would be nice to use illuminated switches in some applications. I came across some MilSpec switches but I suspect they would be very expensive.
Does anyone have a good source for switches that would be appropriate for panel use (other than the typical toggle switches).
Cheers

Look at the Honeywell AML available from Stein for $61.50, and probably others. LED lighted, and can be color coded and/or engraved. Pricey, but very nice.

I used the small AML 34's my panel. Downside is there about $50.00 each with engraving.

Hi Jim
It looks like I will be using at AML's. The milspec switches I found were
$400+ each and had some very nice switch guards. I would have been tempted
to use at least one of them but for my bus master but they couldn't handle
the amperage I need. Damn!
Cheers

See: http://www.action-electronics.com/pdf/gcsw16.pdf
Look at the one at the bottom of this page. The light is independant of the switch. I wired mine so the panel lights bring it on fairly dim, but when switched on, they go full bright. Also available from Stein with white light instead of green.

Hi Ted
Those are very nice switches. Much nicer than the usual throw switches. Thanks for the link.
Cheers
Les
PS: Did I see your plane in a recent copy of COPA?. Where are you based?
