Moved from another general thread...
This picture (stolen from Aerosport) shows the up/down question I had -
In this pic I would say the middle switch is in the ON position, but I'm not sure if that is what the indicating lights say, or what the standard convention is. The switches will be mounted on the lower portion of a vertical instrument panel.
I was thinking I would prefer a two lamp switch with the upper section being the "label" and always illuminated, and a lit-up indicator (usually a line or oval on the Carling actuators) on the lower part of the switch coming on when the circuit is active.
Does this make sense? It is easily done with the switch in my post #7. The Aerosport switches for two lights have a not so simple ON/OFF/ON actuation.
Some options are here.
Which do you think is the clearest and would the top or the bottom of the switch be depressed for the ON position?
With the correct switch the top and bottom text/icons would be separately back-lit, either continuously or when the circuit is activated.
