[QUOTE="UselessPickles, post: 958763, member: 3256"] The one I bought claimed to be waterproof, and I haven't had any problems with the button riding in the rain or parked out in the rain. Yes, each press changes the state of the button (that's the "latching" part of the description), so you can use it as a power switch. It's up to you to wire up the LED however you want it (always on when ignition is on, only on when the switch is in one position, etc). Check the amp/watt ratings on the button and compare to the max amp/watt draw ratings of the device you want it to switch on/off. If the device exceeds the ratings of the button, then you'll need to wire up the button to trigger a relay, so that the higher current of the device passes through the relay rather than the button.
