Replace on-off light switches in RV - any cheaper choices

Was looking to replace the grungy looking white on-off switches for the 12v lights in the 5er. I see the JR Products 12225 SPST black switches, but cripes they are expensive! $20 each on Amazon.ca. Any cheaper alternatives?
  • try www.allelectronics.com they have just about anything electronic and a lot of electrical items etc.
  • My RV came with only the switches that are a part of the light assembly. I decided to add some switches since some of the lights were difficult to reach. I also replaced the incandescent bulbs with LEDs. I used common everyday 120v AC switches. The switches have been in use for several years with no problems. I wouldn't worry about using 12v switches.

    Cool site. Thanks for posting. If you can't find the correct switch on their website, it probably doesn't exist...
  • Are you missing a number in post?
    JR 12225
    I know this is US! Big difference in pricing through different venders on Amazon.
    The shipping costs are also very high!
  • You can buy new LED lights with switches for less than twenty dollars each.
