RE: Re: Momentary Light Switches?

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You may also want to check the press action of these switches - every one
of that type I tried about 2 years ago had very stiff spring action, more
suited to bell pushes than light switches. One of those tactile things.
That's why I went for the Wandsworth switches as previously mentioned.
