Blue illuminated rocker switch source?

[joesatch]

I have acquired this switch but even though it is supposed to be blue it lights amber. It is a very compact power switch like half the size of a Marshall rocker switch. Anyone know where i can find one that actually lights blue?

That looks like a 120VAC switch. The light is actually a neon bulb which glows with an orange color. The switch relies on the translucent rocker bezel to make the color appear blue. Red, amber, and green bezels do a pretty good job of changing the color. Blue is not so good.

I've become quite fond of those switches and used them in all my later builds because they simplify the mains wiring very well.

the switch is the perfect size and i have it wired up wonderfully. The problem is it lights up amber not blue. The presentation is fraudulent it makes me angry.

It's OK to be angry. Most likely you'll just have to get over it. Or get another color. Personally, I like it.
