  • the operation handle 11 since the operation handle 11 includes the first light guide 41 that guides the output light of the on-display LED 4 and the off-display LED 7 to the operation unit 11c side, the operating state of the load L can be changed with a simple configuration. The image can be displayed on the side of the operation unit 11c away from the light source.
  • the second light guide 42 is provided between the rotating first light guide 41 and the on-display LED 4 and the off-display LED 7 which are light sources, the output light of the light source is efficiently guided to the first light guide. It can be guided to the body 41.
  • the first light guide 41 includes the first incident portion 41a, the first reflection portion 41b, the first light guide portion 41c, and the first emission portion 41e, the direction of the output light of the light source is simple. Can be guided to the first emitting part 41e. Moreover, since the thickness dimension T1 of the first light guide 41c is smaller than the thickness dimension T2 of the portion from the first incident part 41a to the first reflection part 41b, the first light guide part 41c interferes with the switch body 10 and the like. Thus, hindering the rotation of the operation handle 11 is prevented.
  • the display on the display unit can be switched according to the operating state of the load L, and the usability of the switch 1 is enhanced.
  • the LEDs 4 and 7 can be easily mounted with a simple configuration, and the cost of the switch 1 can be reduced. Moreover, since the 2nd incident part 42a in the 2nd light guide 42 is formed in steps corresponding to the front-end
  • the 1st reflection part 41b of the 1st light guide 41 is comprised by the paraboloid or the elliptical surface, the output light radiate
  • the output light of the on-display LED 4 can be displayed brightly.
  • the first reflecting portion 41b is not arranged on the optical axis of the off display LED 7, the output light of the off display LED 7 can be displayed slightly softly. As described above, by arranging the first reflecting portion 41b on the optical axis of any one of the light sources, the output light of the light source can be displayed brightly. Further, by disposing the first reflecting portion 41b on the optical axis of the off-display LED 7, the off-display LED 7 can also be displayed brightly.
  • the operation handle 11 has the light distribution body 43, the output light of the LEDs 4 and 7 can be distributed and emitted within a desired range, and the usability of the switch 1 is improved.
  • the prism is formed on the surface of the light distribution body 43, the internal structure of the switch 1 becomes difficult to see from the outside of the light distribution body 43 without reducing the amount of light transmitted through the light distribution body 43.
  • the product value of the switch 1 is increased.
  • the light distribution body 43 is comprised by the through-hole material containing a light-diffusion material, it becomes difficult to see the internal structure of the switch 1 from the outer side of the light distribution body 43.
  • the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment. At least the operation handle 11 is rotatably supported by the switch body 10 on the LED 4, 7 side, and the output light of the LED 4, 7 is emitted on the operation portion 11 c side away from the LED 4, 7 in the operation handle 11. What is necessary is just to be comprised.
  • the present invention can be variously modified.
  • the on-display LED 4 and the off-display LED 7 used as the display light source are not limited to the bullet-type and chip-type LEDs, and may be other types of LEDs.
  • the light source for display is not limited to the LED, and may be a light source such as a neon lamp or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence).
  • the second light guide 42 may be discarded by arranging the display light source so as to face the first incident portion 41a of the first light guide 41.
  • the 1st light guide 41 and the light distribution body 43 may be formed integrally.
  • the load L is not limited to a lighting fixture such as an incandescent lamp, a fluorescent lamp, or an LED bulb, and may be another electric appliance.
  • the switch body 10 is not limited to the form constituted by the outer peripheral body 18 and the cover 19, but may be a form replaced with other parts or a form added with other parts.
