I lost my install sheet that I got with this switch -
FrozenCPU.com Bulgin style illuminated Red Vandal Switch (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/6100/ele-273/Red_Illuminated_Bulgin_Style_Vandal_Switch_-_Black_Housing_-_Ring_Illumination.html?tl=g44)

Anyone know which pins go to what??? I can't wire it in without taking the chance of blowing it up. ARGH. I know that the switch is on the middle pins, but which pin is which for the LED??

Just apply a suitable current for the led to each pin and see what happens

Eh, I suppose I could do that. I just don't want to guess wrong and blow it out. Ah well. I shall try.

well as long as you only give it enough power to light the led you cant go wrong.
From the looks of the description there isnt a built in resistor so you would need to have one in series : 12v=470ohm 9v=330ohm and 5v=47ohm.
