So while sitting with my wings complete and awaiting the arrival of the fuselage I took the time to photograph some back lighting options for AML34 Switches that fit nicely under Garmin GDU46X panels in the RV-14. These AML54 rockers from engravers.net are shown in AML34FBA4AC01 switches with LE-0504-01 LED Lights from digi-key.
These are all the same Switch and Rocker, just with different LED lights installed (really easy to change out). From left to right is Blue, White, Yellow, Green, Red. Of note, the Green is really bright and the blue is not far behind. I am doing some additional experimenting with filling the transluscent engraving with white paint to make it more readable when the light is turned off. Will post more info on that later.
Thanks again to the guys at engravers.net for sending me some sample rocker switches to play with.
