When you're outfitting a control panel, the components you choose determine both safety and clarity. One option is a latching emergency stop switch that physically interrupts power when pressed. The other is a set of green LED indicator lights that provide visual status. The decision isn't about which is better overall; it's about which function your panel needs first.
Quick Verdict
If your priority is stopping equipment and keeping it stopped until someone resets it, the 22mm Emergency Stop Push Button Switch is the essential safety control. If you need clear status indication across several points, the 10-pack of green 120V AC LED pilot lights is the more practical choice for a busy panel.

Where Each Product Wins
The Emergency Stop Push Button Switch wins when you need a latching, push-twist safety control with two normally closed contacts and a screw terminal connection. It's built for industrial applications where a positive stop is required.
The LED Pilot Lights win when you need multiple indicators on a panel at the lowest cost per point. A 10-pack of green 120V AC lights lets you cover several status positions at once.
Product Notes
22mm Emergency Stop Push Button Switch
The 22mm Emergency Stop Push Button Switch is built for a clear job: a red mushroom button that latches down when pressed and requires a twist to release. With two normally closed contacts rated at 10A and a screw terminal connector, it's designed to interrupt a circuit directly in an emergency. The latching operation means the machine stays off until someone deliberately resets the button. The main limitation is that it's a single component, so if you're outfitting multiple panels you'll need to buy several. It also requires a 22mm panel hole and has a relatively tall body, so plan for clearance.
10mm LED Pilot Light 10-Pack
The 10Pcs 120V AC 10mm GREEN Panel Mounting LED Indication Signal Pilot Lights give you ten indicators in one package, which is handy when you need status lights for multiple circuits or control stations. They operate on standard 120V AC, and the green color makes them easy to distinguish from red warning lights. The 10mm size keeps them compact on a busy panel. The limitation is that these are indication signals rather than control actuators, so they are not meant to interrupt a circuit or stop a machine. They also come as a ten-pack for a specific voltage and size, so your panel needs to match those specs.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the 2NC 22mm Emergency Stop Push Button Switch when your machine needs a reset-required safety stop and you're wiring a single control point. It's the component that can actually shut down equipment. Choose the 10Pcs 120V AC 10mm GREEN LED Pilot Lights when you want to add multiple status indicators across a panel without spending much per point. If your panel needs both, they complement each other: the red mushroom button stops the machine, and the green lights show when it's safe or running.
