Abstract
In an auxiliary starter switch device, a guard for the auxiliary switch actuator and a small warning lamp and lens are combined in such a way that the guard itself contributes to the indicator warning. The guard is formed of a transparent or translucent material, and the lamp and lens (or an equivalent LED) is mounted in optically close-coupled arrangement with the guard. When the lamp is energized, the guard itself is substantially illuminated to expand the warning light area.
