These are the push switches used to operate the lighting. They will be protected by rubber switch covers to give a more industrial look to the switch panel.

Because I didn\'t want this project to be too shiny - I am looking for the beaten up industrial look, after all - keeping all the lightning in the case UV gives an excellent look to the UV Perspex parts, like this Valve logo on the side panel.
