Q. Would this device switch a LED power from a 3 V battery
A. Hi Paul, thank you for your question. This will switch up to 12V and 500mA so no problem switching a standard 20/30mA LED.

NB connections are backwards

Nicely made, and really tiny. But it has a gotcha. Compared to most slide switches (but similar to toggle switches), the connections are made opposite to the way you expect. If the slider is to the right, then the right-hand pin is disconnected; the left-hand pin is connected to the center. Be careful!
