Abstract
A rocker switch assembly has several rocker shells that define cavities to receive inserts of several varieties that allow the user to provide several rockers in a side-by-side assembly of rocker switches with a wave pattern that allows each switch to be easily identified as to function and/or indicates switch condition. Reversing the orientation of every other rocker shell provides the wave pattern, and the use of different inserts allows variation in the illumination level of individual rocker switches, yet each rocker shell shares a common geometry.
