LED COLORS & SPECIFICATIONS FOR SPOT ILLUMINATED MODELS
LEDs are supplied as an integral part of
illuminated devices and are not available
separately. LED polarity markings are on
the bottom of the switch.
The electrical specifications shown here are
determined at a basic temperature of 25°C.
If the source voltage exceeds the rated
voltage, a ballast resistor is required. The
resistor value can be calculated by using the
formula in the Supplement section.
