There are some other switches that I really want to use that I have found at Lowes or Home depot in the home lighting section. The packaging says push button switch. It is a 125V switch that can clearly be used to turn a light on at home. It is readily available, but I don't know if every inspector will let me use this.
There is a switch at Radioshack that I would love to use. I found it in the limit switch drawer, but it is labeled "push button" on the packaging. I have found other "push button" style switches as limit switches on other websites. Much like the "limit" switch in the above example says "micro switch" not limit switch.

If possible, can you take a series of* pictures of the switches in their natural habitats? If from the context of the store display, it's apparent that these are being sold as a particular kind of switch, I'd say that counts as "marketed".
Whether it's a good idea to make teams systematically go to these lengths in order to use a simple part is a question the GDC needs to consider on their own.
*It's the 21st century; photography is free. All teams and inspection stations have computers. No sense in reducing the discussion to the interpretation of a single photo; the more context in the form of close-ups and panoramas of the home lighting section, the merrier.
