Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Schaltereinheit mit einem Schaltergehäuse, mit einer in dem Schaltergehäuse angeordneten Lampenfassung, mit wenigstens einer betätigbaren Funktionstaste, mit Beleuchtungselementen für eine Funktionstastenbeleuchtung, die an der Funktionstaste vorhandene Funktionssymbole ausleuchtet und für eine Flutlichtbeleuchtung, die das Schaltergehäuseumfeld beleuchtet.
Die Erfindung kennzeichnet sich dadurch, dass für die Flutlichtbeleuchtung und die Funktionstastenbeleuchtung lediglich ein an der Lampenfassung angeordnetes Beleuchtungselement vorhanden ist und dass wenigstens ein Lichtleiter oder Lichtleiterzweig vorhanden ist, durch den das Licht von dem Beleuchtungselement als Funktionstastenbeleuchtung zu den Funktionssymbolen und/oder als Flutlichtbeleuchtung in das Schaltergehäuseumfeld gelangt.
