    How to wiring a switch with internall light
    I got several luminous light switches (have internal light), but all of them are blinking permanently when the light is off. I would like to know the proper way to connect these switches. Then remove the blinking when the light is off.

    Need to provide the make and model number of the switches your using, as there are several on the market, and each is wired differently or has specific needs.

    Actually today I found the same manual, and I already connect my switch this way. But, the problem persists. I am considering changing the luminicent lamp for a incandecent lamp.

    Should be straight forward, as the pilot light requires a neutral to operate.

    Some of these switches with pilot lights use a series connection, and are load dependent.

    This is not the case. Not sure why the pilot lamp is blinking.

    My instinct would be that there is a connection problem with the neutral, but that means the light fixture the switch is controlling would have a problem.

    Try an incandescent lamp, something tells me everything will work fine.
