DC light switches ?

broadgage

Can anyone suggest a supplier of domestic light switches suitable for 250 volts DIRECT CURRENT.

I asked this in the old forum, and IIRC a respected member suggested a supplier of “heritage looking” switches but these were in fact still AC only.

Have previously obtained NOS switches from fleabay but these are now hard to find.

    Not too worried about surges or peak voltages, much less of a problem than in the good old days of DC mains, when vacuum cleaners and other electric motors were connected to lamp sockets.

    No, but joking aside, insulation coordination still important when you are connected to the grid (for the AC operation).
