Kingshowstar 12V Waterproof Push-Button Switch

Price was great, order shipped complete very quickly. I sought a low-profile switch that I could conceal under a heat shield on my motorcycle, in a spot where I could easily access while seated on the bike. This switch is perfect in every way. The power rating is well within my needs and it is a simple press on, press off configuration. Since the motorcycle is frequently exposed to wet conditions it needed to be waterproof. This switch is sealed in such a way that it will not be impacted by rain or extremely wet weather conditions. It was important for me to be able to stick this on vs. screw it in given my selected placement. I prepared the mounting point by washing with soap & water, then using acetone gave it a final cleaning. Included with the switch is a two-sided die-cut adhesive pad perfectly sized for the switch. When applying I pressed hard and held for a full minute to ensure complete adhesion. I let it set over night before testing, and when I tried to gently pull it away the switch held wonderfully firm. One very nice plus is the inclusion of two solder butt connectors that can be activated by a heat gun or hair dryer. You place the wire from the switch in the connector, then the line/load wires & use the heat gun to melt the solder. Next, I used a crimper (not included) to crimp each end of the connector to seal and keep water resistant. Just to ensure the integrity of the water seal I finished with a wrap of electrical tape. This worked surprisingly well and took little time. I should mention that a pictorial instruction sheet with helpful details is in the package. I found this very easy to follow for every step of the way. The switch is used with a set of 12-volt fog lamps added to my motorcycle. Operation of the switch is simple, and it is easy to tell when the switch has been pressed far enough in to engage/disengage. I did not have to exert much pressure in use of the switch. After many uses in differing weather conditions the switch is still firmly attached and working well. I'll offer a tip in using the solder butt connectors: In my case the wires used were thin enough for me to slide the connector all of the way down one wire. I then carefully twisted the sanded bare ends of the two wires before positioning the connector to be soldered. The physical connection of the wires ensured a secure electrical connection and the solder served to permanently secure and enhance the connection.

Not sure what to say about a switch. I needed to switch the ground side of a voltage sensing split charge relay so I be sure to split the batteries. This guy came with a good length of wire and crimp connectors which made life very easy. Then the self adhesive pad was the icing on the cake of no holes to drill. So. A low voltage (12volt) low current application and occasional use inside a steel battery compartment of an RV where drilling holes was not desirable. Surface mount and shaped mounting tape pad worked well.

The switch works as advertised and it doesnt feel plastic. I only tested with a 12v adapter and no issues at all, I cannot say if it lets you use higher voltage. It might, but 12-24v may be its limit. Cables are long and sturdy enough and very easy to work with I'll be using for the lights inside my scooter "trunk" (it's actually a top box) Definitively recommend it!

Seems well made & I like the simplicity of the surface mount but understand that it’s a push button switch & you won’t be able to tell by looking at the switch if the accessory is on or off.

We used it in the front of a boat. So far so good. Seems like it’s good quality

Just a great little switch

Great

For those of us who aren't electricians, a mention in the instructions as to where to connect both red wires would be helpful/imperative. From what I've been able to discern from YouTube, one of the reds goes to the red wire of the glow lights controller, the other red to the battery's positive terminal. Please confirm.
