The Honeywell ones are nice aerospace grade and are stocked by Mouser.

They come with a $80+ aerospace price tag too...

This type of switch would be useful for many things, but my current intended use is for my small on-board computer. Front panel control calls for 2 momentary pushbuttons (power & reset) and 2 LED indicators (power and drive activity. Panel space is a premium, so thought I'd use something like these; so yes the switch does need to be momentary and the LED connections separate. Red and amber colors would be nice.
