switches with lights

I have seen switches that light up a bit when pressed, switches attached to
lights, and switches with big, bright plates. But does anyone know if there
are switches that light up before being pressed so the light helps make the
switch a target? I've tried shining a flashlight on a switch to draw
attention to it, but after awhile you run out of hands to hold everything.

Thanks,
Shelley Mack

P.S. Don't bother googling Big Mac Light. Who knew McDonald's has smaller
sized Big Macs now?

I have given that suggestion to the people from APH (but need to make the formal on-line request). I want a lighted switch that shuts off when pushed so the attention can be placed on the object that is being controlled by the switch! Currently, I am using a "headlight" that I bought for $10 at Meijer! It's made by energizer! It has a red light that I love or a white light. It frees up my hands when I wear it! OR... I place it in the child's head and it focuses the light where there head goes!
