These aren't light switches; they're rocker switches that turn on and off. Check out the DIYhz 12mm normally open Waterproof Momentary Interrupt Switch. These are what I have as well, and they work well.
The housing is not made of metal, but instead of it, it is made of plastic.

I haven't used the switches for very long, but they seem to work fine. My gripe is that because they're round (which is why I bought them), the indexing ridge is essential for keeping them from spinning in the mount. The indexing spline on these, however, ends a little before the bezel, so they spun in the entire panel, which was 1/16 inch thick aluminum. I'd say that using them on anything thicker than 1/8 inch (though the index will barely catch on 1/8), but not on anything thinner, might work.
The number of positive reviews is absolutely incredible. I've only used two of these in two different bluetooth speakers, one of which was a gift (which was wonderful). AFTER ONLY A FEW MONTHS OF REGULAR USE, BOTH QUICKLY FAILED. Both of them have become stuck and are unable to be switched at this time. Forcing it only smooshes it (whatever acts as the fulcrum point appears to be bent or snapped). And I'm pretty sure I've only turned it on and off about 20 times in the speaker I still have, which is pretty bad reliability. I'm not particularly concerned with money. I'm now faced with the task of removing the switch while the hot leads (battery cells inside the speaker) are still attached. Very dissatisfied!.
I drilled a 3/4" hole for the switch and mounted it into a 3/4" PVC endcap made for 3/4" PVC pipe. I had to cut off the switch's side tabs in order for it to fit, but that fixed the problem. Since I soldered the switches to my project, the wires attached to them are long enough to be useful. br>br>One switch did break/fall apart while I was cutting the tabs off, but I recognize I was making structural changes to it.
When the switch is open, there is no continuity. With the switch turned off, there is no interruption. As was to be expected. Wires are very thin. br>br> If my memory serves me correctly, the gauge was 18 gauge. I'm not sure I'd use it at the advertised 10 A/125 V. It works great in a low-voltage application for me. br>br>Note: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "creative A 13/16" bit was used to create the hole. It was an excellent solution.
I'm a software developer who works with embedded systems. Currently, I'm working on a project involving my customer's custom control board. br>br>This control board was designed to power up and down using a contact closure. This item served as a power switch for me. Because I frequently power the control board up and down, for example, to safely remove or connect the jtag connector, peripheral devices, and so on, having a power switch is useful. br>br>It works well. This is something I'd buy again if I had the opportunity.
These, as well as the LED version, were ordered for some ebike modifications I'm working on. br>I'm not concerned because all of the wires are properly connected and insulated, but. . . . br>On arrival, one of the rockers (out of a pack of 8) was broken. (as seen in the photo)br>br>Ima still uses them. It's only $8, so it's not a major expenditure. The silver lining for me is that Amazon refunded me in full. But they do work. . . br>br>/Bklyn.
These are complete and total garbage! Five of them broke after being installed and switched on for led backlighting on a wall clock. 2 times. Because of its poor design and low quality construction, the switch pops out of place. Do you believe it's impossible to make a mistake with a basic switch? They were able to make it work. SAVE YOUR MONEY and buy something else; it wasn't worth returning, and if you buy these, you'll end up with a stack of broken switches like I did.
They worked for the entire night after I hooked them up. They didn't work the next time I tried to turn them on (a week later). I replaced the two I had installed, and the problem reappeared the following day.
