I recently ordered 3v 16mm led latching switches and I am unsure as how to wire them properly, especially with supplying power to the led. I am running 12v from
a battery to a 3v transformer which then goes to the switch to serve as the
on/off function for a laser. Is there a wiring diagram that is available or instructions on how to properly wire the switch. So far I have the ability to turn the laser on and off with the switch but have no led light visible.
The product information states use of a resistor but the placement of such
is where I am unsure. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Wiring 3v led latching switch?
There is a diagram of the switch on this page that might help. The +and- pins are for the LED and the other two are for the power.
