Top ten off switches

#3 - The illuminated rocker switch
The trusty rocker switch is an age-old classic. Found in everything from computers to dishwashers, the rocker switch boasts flexibility. Not only can it be placed in a traditional on/off environment, but it can also be purchased in variants that allow a third state. It's this out-of-the box thinking that has kept the rocker popular for so many years.

This example is from a company called E-Switch and has one little extra that you won't find on every rocker switch: it's illuminated. With a mechanical life of around 30,000 cycles, this switch is sturdy, and built to last. What's more, it has a bargain basement price of just $0.75, when bought in bulk, and we're sure you'll be keen to buy lots of these beauties.
