I wanted an LED indicator for my switch, but I could never get it to work without battery power. If the led was bright enough the switch wouldn't switch.
Has anyone found something that works?
I finally gave up and cheated by using a double pole switch and a little A544 6v battery. Who knows, maybe it will last years like this.

If you could only get it to be off when the LED was on, couldn't you just make the LED mean that the fat switch is off? And bypass the LED (turning it off) to turn the fat boost on? I know its not ideal, but I think that's what I might do.

That would work, but for my brain the LED must be on to indicate its switched on.
That LED and battery are still going strong BTW (a couple of years later with lots of use)

... with a 9v battery that was dead for every other purpose and it is running strong months later.
