Help please > Led Illuminated switch spec ?? (edited post)

Post by jans7890 »

Sorry I realized my post the other day was incomplete.
In the past I have purchased a switch with these minimal specs (The other guys specs.)
I want to now buy for Adafruit. Can you tell with this bit of info if it will be ok.
I just need a simple on/off latching.
Most notably I see the LED lamp is 6V as compared to 110V that kinda seems big to me.
Sorry I am just the buyer not the engineer.
ANY/ALL input is appreciated. TIA

.What is the voltage and current you need to switch?
What voltage is available for the LED?
If all you have is 110v AC, then the other switch is a better choice.
