Truck Bed Perimeter Light project

[Lynx_Arc]

Nice work lynx! I'll engage w Mouser(otto switches) and a Cole-Hersee vendor next week...

There is another alternative in that you could get separate switch and indicator lamps/led assemblies if you had room for both of them it wouldn't be too hard to do just that. a 5mm LED with proper resistor and proper size o-ring in a pre drilled hole wouldn't be hard to do either.

It took a bit of work, and I must commend some manufacturers reps for their help in finding a suitable switch that met my desires.

Otto has a switch that met all of the must haves, as well as the nice to haves...it was rather expensive, but it was a great "fit"...

Otto K5AB442BPF-44

A rocker switch, sealed to IP68, illuminated in green, ON-ON, dependent LEDS on the right poles, DPDT (wanted SPDT but this will work), and rather importantly, In-Stock..and I could get a mating connector. ..I should have it late next week, and get to the install next weekend.

Looking forward to seeing how it comes out...
