Abstract
A water- and/or dust-tight toggle switch has an LED switch. The LED or other luminous elements are impermeably shielded from the surroundings by a housing of a comparatively simple design. The housing is provided with cast windows which make possible light output from the luminous element disposed within the interior of the housing. Favorable refinements pertain to the arrangement of a light guide on the actuator cap and also the protection of the inserted plug through extended, guided-down housing walls.
