These are the sort of thing that would convince me to
go X10!

(permanently) until you push it again and it breaks
contact - a

lighting systems don't operate in this way. You tend
to find these
switches being used for 'bell push' or other signaling
applications,
which is why a lot of them to be found in electrical
wholesalers
have 'push' or pictures of bells on them! They tend to
have a high
push resistance (i.e. stiff) in my experience.

they're far
more aesthetic that the plastic clipsal ones and come
in a huge range
of finishes (I have the solid metal brushed aluminium
type). Pics on
