Lighted switch

摘要

The invention is directed to a switch comprising an LED for indicating when a connected electrical device is activated or not. In certain examples, the electrical device is a water pump. In certain examples, the invention is drawn to a circuit comprising a switch, a logic circuit, an electrical device, and an LED subcircuit, whereby the electrical device is turned on by closing the switch, and whereby the LED functions as an indicator light remaining on while the electrical device remains on, and turning off when the electrical device is turned off.

主权项

1. A circuit for powering an electrical device, wherein a connection between a first power source to said electrical device is initiated using an electrical switch, wherein said electrical switch is closed at least momentarily, thereby completing a first electrical circuit, wherein when the switch is placed in the “on” position a current is sent from said first power supply to a microprocessor which then causes said electrical device to turn on, said switch being independently illuminated by a light emitting diode (LED) after said microprocessor causes said electrical device to turn on, regardless whether said first electrical circuit remains completed or not, and wherein when said electrical device is turned off, power to the LED is discontinued.
