LEDs are an integral part of the switch and not available separately.
The lamp circuit is independent of switch operation.
Electrical specifications are determined at a basic temperature of 25°C.
If the source voltage exceeds rated voltage, a ballast resistor is required.
The resistor value can be calculated by using the formula shown here.
