The Illuminated Bulgin Vandal Switch is a momentary switch that is the ideal switch for modding enthusiasts. The ring around the switch always glows, making it easy to find in the dark. Easy to install and will fit on a regular 5.25 drive cover or wherever you chose.

Manufactured from marine grade Stainless Steel, Bulgin's extensive range of vandal resistant security switches are designed for use in potentially hostile environments, such as access control applications, hazardous weather areas or for your computer in your living room.

Note: The LED runs on 3.4V DC. You will need a resistor in the line to power the LED from either your motherboard's 5V DC output or your Power Supply's 12V DC output. You can run the LED directly off of the motherboard's 3.3V LED headers without any resistor.

We were informed that the correct resistors for the switch's LED are the following:

12 V DC source: 420 ohms
5 V DC source: 70 ohms
[thanks to D. Huff for providing this data]
FrozenCPU.com cannot be held responsible if the LED is burnt-out from application of too much power. Please make sure your are outputting the correct power before connecting the LED.

Please be very careful with the power you apply to the LED - we cannot accept any returns of switches that have a burnt out LED.

Its an awesome switch that lights up very well with 12v from the PSU. BUt the problem I had with it is i didn''t realize it was a momentary switch. So when you push it and its down its off. or in anoth3er configuration when you push it and its down its on. It does not switch something from on to off. WOuld be great for a power button or reset switch. But not for turning on and off cathodes.
