Electrical switch with a lighting device

摘要

In an electrical switch having a switch housing, having an operating device and having a lighting device which has at least one light element, at least one light outlet window and at least two variously-coloured filters which enable the existing light outlet windows to be illuminated in different colours in the various switch positions, it is intended to reduce the mechanical complexity required for the illumination. This is achieved according to the invention in that the two coloured filters are arranged in one switch position such that the light passes through both coloured filters to a light outlet window. The effects of the two coloured filters are thus superimposed so that a third colour is produced by additive or so-called substractive colour mixing.
