There is a rule in the rule book that prohibits illuminated switches. I can't get into Hyperrules at the moment or I'd give you the reference (must be that silly firewall they have here at work).

There IS a technical reason for the rule, but you'll have to ask one of the electricals what it is. Hopefully Al S or Rbayer or one of those guys will explain it. This has been a topic of discussion before, but I think it's been a few months or does it just seem that way? I may be suffering the usual "Build Season Time Distortion Syndrome".
