I bought six of these to operate LED light strips I'm using to light up dark cubbies on my truck and motorcycles and small cargo trailers when I open the lid(s). It works well for that. The wire pigtails are nice and long (about 16") and of adequate gauge (18AWG I think).The operating range between open and closed is about 30 degrees above level).They're nice and small and unobtrusive. The foam double sided tape is adequate, but is mounted on the flat lid rather than the bottom of the box, so sometimes the switch body becomes detached from the lid, rendering it useless. I recommend gluing the lid onto the box or using new doublesided tape on the bottom.

So I bought a float switch at Walmart for automatic bilge pump on my jon boat. The metal piece inside it was too heavy and didn’t close the circuit to turn on the pump every time or once it did turn on it would not turn off. So I mounted this switch on top of that float and now it works every time and is more sensitive. I heat shrank the wires as a water resistant measure. Works great. Definitely prefer mercury switches than any other.

I had this switch connected to a power source and a light, tilting it to see at what angles it would open and close the circuit. One of the wires came loose, just broke right off. It would have been more of a hassle to request and wait for a replacement than to fix it myself, so I just popped it open, resoldered the wire, and plastic-welded it closed again.Inside the plastic housing is a tiny glass bulb, not even a centimeter long, with a little drop of mercury in it and two thin wires coming out one end. Each wire is connected to the shielded/coated outer wire with just a tiny drop of solder, and this is where the breakage was. In addition to resoldering the broken wire, I added some solder to the other one so it wouldn't break off in the future. I also filled the inside of the case with hot glue to keep the bulb and wires from vibrating and breaking.I found that when the switch is horizontal, it's not definitively going to be off or definitively on. Once it's at a 15–20-degree angle with the wires pointing downward, it will usually be on, but the quicker the switch is moved, the more reliable it is. When it's at a 15–20-degree angle with the wires pointing up, it will usually be off, and, again, the quicker the movement, the more reliable the switching. The bulb of mercury inside isn't necessarily at the same angle as the case. You could have the switch horizontal, but the bulb inside could possibly be at a 10-degree angle.I used this to make an engine compartment light for my car, attaching it to the hood hinge. It worked for a little while, but eventually, the vibration was too much to bear, even with the reinforced internals and the hot glue. If you plan to use a tilt switch for an engine compartment light, do not use this one.

The switch did not work. It was continuously closed. I opened the switch up and found the two wire leads touching. I seperated the leads and coated the leads and the glass in silicone RTV. This will also stabilize the loose glass switch.
