Nilight 8-Pack 12V 20A Round Blue Toggle LED Rocker Switches (SPST, 3-Pin) for On-Off Control
Product description
What these switches are for
Nilight’s 8-pack of round blue LED toggle rocker switches is built for one job: clean on-off control of a DC12V 20A circuit. In practical terms, it’s the kind of switch set people use to manage extra accessories on a car, truck, boat, off-road vehicle, or marine setup—anything that needs a simple connect/disconnect control rather than variable settings.
Each switch is described as an SPST ON-OFF design, and the third pole is meant to be connected to earth (ground) so the LED indicator can light up when the switch is turned on. That matters more than it sounds, because it gives you a quick visual “this is active” cue at the dash or in the console area.
Key points
You get eight identical switches in a blue round toggle style, which helps if you’re building a small panel or replacing a set so everything matches. The switches are designed for DC 12V 20A circuits, with a 2-pole ON/OFF control and a separate LED/ground setup.
On paper, the electrical approach is fairly straightforward: copper-plated silver contacts for conductivity, plus a flame-retardant casing for safety-oriented housing. Installation is also described as direct setup with no extra work required beyond wiring, and the switch includes a keyhole slot intended to prevent unwanted rotation.
Still, it’s not perfect for every scenario. If your project needs momentary behavior, dimming, or more complex switching (more than simple on-off control), an SPST rocker switch set like this may feel limiting.
What you’ll notice day to day
The most “real-world” benefit here is the LED indicator tied to the third pole/earth connection. If you’re wiring lights, an added power accessory, or a modified electronics function, the LED can reduce guesswork when you’re operating in low visibility.
For example, imagine mounting the switches near a driver’s side panel: you flip one toggle to power a chosen accessory, and the blue LED confirms the circuit is live without having to trace wires or rely on external light output.
Where it shines (and where it may not)
This set is positioned for broad DIY vehicle and marine modifications. The base description calls out applications like cars, ATVs/UTVs, trucks, boats/marines, RVs, off-road vehicles, and electronics modifications. It can also be used for household appliance modification projects mentioned in the listing.
It might not be the best choice if: - Your circuit isn’t DC12V (the design is described around DC 12V control). - You need anything beyond on-off control (the switch is described as SPST). - You’re not set up to handle the LED’s earth/ground connection, since the third pole is specifically tied to earth for the indicator.

Getting the most from it
Before buying, it’s worth checking how your wiring plan matches the way the listing describes the switch: - The main function is connecting/disconnecting a DC12V 20A circuit at will. - The LED indicator is tied to the third pole that connects to earth/ground.
Also note what’s included: the package is listed as 8 x blue round toggle LED switches, 16 x red wires, and 8 x black wires. If your project needs different wire lengths, terminals, or connectors than what’s provided, you may still need extra parts—this listing doesn’t specify additional hardware beyond the wires.
For mounting, the keyhole slot is intended to prevent unwanted rotation, but you’ll still want to plan your panel cutout and placement so it sits cleanly.

Is it worth it?
A solid pick if you’re wiring a DC12V 20A accessory and want straightforward SPST on-off control with a helpful LED status indicator. It also makes sense if you’re building a small matched set (8 switches) for a vehicle, off-road setup, or marine modification and prefer a direct install approach.
You may want to skip it if your project needs anything other than simple on-off behavior, if your system doesn’t align with DC12V, or if you don’t want to deal with the LED’s earth/ground connection through the third pole.
Quick final check: confirm your circuit voltage and current needs align with the DC 12V and 20A description, then double-check that your wiring plan supports the LED/ground behavior.
FAQ
Are these switches meant for DC 12V circuits?
The listing describes them for a DC12V electrical circuit, with an SPST on-off control rated at 20A.
Will the LED turn on when the switch is on?
According to the description, the fluorescent lamps (LED indicator) will be lighted up when the switch is turned on, provided the third pole is connected to earth.
What does SPST mean here?
SPST is described as ON-OFF control with a 2-pole on/off design, while the third pole supports the LED/earth wiring.
What’s included in the package?
The bundle includes 8 blue round toggle LED switches plus red and black wires as listed.
Is this plug-and-play?
The listing describes easy installation with direct setup and no additional work required, but you should still expect wiring work that matches your specific circuit and mounting plan.
