Title: Simple mains wiring
Post by: sluckey on February 23, 2015, 08:31:10 am

I've started using illuminated power switches in my builds. They make for a very simple, uncluttered mains wiring. Even simpler if used with a fused IEC receptacle. It's a good solution for tight spaces. Looks like this...

BTW, Radio Shack has a couple styles of illuminated switches for real cheap (80-90% off). Still got a few days left.

I can post the Visio file if you want to add any of those components to your stencils.

Kill 3 birds with 1 stone and at that price? Cut 1 hole not 3, less panel space with a 2P1T switch for a little better safety. Light up power switch even comes in different colors.    :laugh:

I like it!
