I would be grateful if anyone knows of a source for a DPDT mini (10mm X 15 mm or close) rocker switch that's 3 Position (ON-OFF-ON)? It's for a combined LED anchor/tricolour mashead light. I've seen one on eBay but am reluctant to pay £17 and hoped there might be some UK suppliers. Alternatively I'll wire the light up to two separate switches.

Is this to wire up as a reversing (polarity) switch for a two wire led assembly?

As VicS shows, Furneaux Riddall are local to you in Portsmouth but I've probably got a spare already wired up as a reversing switch that you can have. It's somewhere on board and I'll see if I can find it tomorrow... I need a sort out of spares :)

Thank you for your reply. To be honest I have not yet purchased anything. I currently have an LED anchor light which I'll replace with a combination LED Anchor/Tricolor. Having had a quick look online it appears the best option would be a light that can be wired up to use a DPDT switch ( although this not the only option) My existing fuse panel uses micro or mini rocker switches so the ideal solution would be to simply replace the current anchor light switch as I'm running out of fuse space. There are plenty of the slightly larger rocker switches available online but not many of the mini ones that meet my spec hence the post. Thanks once again for your kind offer and yes if you can assist that would be appreciated. ps I need to sort out my spares too!
