Cool Power Switches

[jeff8houses]

Anyone know where I could find some cool power switches? They're to mounted on the amp plate on the back of self-powered speakers. I'd really like to find some sort of stainless pushbutton switches as that'd look pretty cool on the black anodized plate. They also need to be non-illuminating as I already have a bunch of other LEDs on the back. The Schurter Metal Lines are pretty sweet but I can't find them non-illuminated very easily.

I could do a toggle, but I'd really like it to be metal. There's no plastic anywhere on my designs and would hate to compromise with a boring old switch.

So I'm pretty much just looking for some interesting, low-profile ideas. Any ideas or a good place to get the Schurters? Thanks!

Jeff

Probably not overly useful as a power switch because they have a momentary action rather than latching by the looks of them & the description of "normally open".

hence "like".

I am a fan of that style. Going to be stocking LED ring versions of those in stainless soon.

The problem here is that in many countries a metal lever/button is not allowed on power switches. You have to use them to control a low-voltage circuit that drives a relay. In that case, a momentary switch makes sense (or not).

Yeah, I dig that style. Didn't know about the metal button regulation thing. I might have to compromise then, but that's exactly what I was thinking of. Many thanks!
