Gents
I am using toggle switches for non-lights (e.g. Fuel pump, Pitot heat, Aux Battery, etc.) and both for aesthetical reasons and non-confusing reasons, I am planning to use rocker illuminated switches for the Lights (Landing Light, Taxi Light, Strobes, Beacon, NAV Lights, Cabin Light).
I am not finding a source for good rocker switches, like for example the ones from Klixon or other good brand. Neither ACS or Stein Air seems to carry those.
Can someone please point me to a source for good rocker illuminated switches?
Regards
Carlos

Carlos,
<< source for good rocker switches >>
Mouser Electronics (mouser.com) is happy to sell small quantities to the amateur builder. They list 1,166 illuminated rocker switches in their online catalog, 166 of which are SPST rated at 10 amps or more.

Thank you Tom
But I suppose that Mouser does not sell engraved rocker switches, do they?

Carlos,
<< Mouser does not sell engraved rocker switches >>
Some have the on-off symbol engraved but labeling functions puts you into a whole different custom order ballgame. I just use a P-touch to produce black letters on clear tape.
Bob does not favor this approach but I like the combined magnetic circuit breaker/switch made by Airpax/Sensata. The part number is R11-51-[amperage]-G06EV-S. These are life rated for medical applications and available from OnLineComponents.com for less the $12. But they are not illuminated. See the thread Tyco Breakers in the archive for a more detailed discussion of these devices.

Your local trophy supplier should be able to engrave any rocker you supply with whatever you wish engraved on it. They are normally able to make "lamicoid" nameplates and that equipment will engrave a plastic rocker. You can fill the engraving with paint of your choosing and wipe the excess from the surrounding area to give a nicely "filled" engraved wording for your switches.
