Choosing between signaling indicators and operator controls often comes down to what the component must do when the panel is live. Emergency stops and LED pilot lights are both common panel controls, but they are not interchangeable: one is a latching switch for shutting down a circuit, the other is a status light for showing what the machine is doing. That difference drives the entire buying decision.
Quick verdict
Go with the Emergency Stop Push Button Switch when the job is stopping equipment. It is priced at USD 17.50. Go with the LED Indicator Pilot Light when the job is displaying status. It is priced at USD 75.16.

Where each product wins
When the emergency stop button wins. If your panel needs a physical button that an operator can press to interrupt a circuit and twist to release, the emergency stop switch is the right tool. The 40mm mushroom actuator makes the stop action visible and obvious.
When the LED indicator wins. If your panel needs a lamp that can sit out in damp or dusty areas, the LED indicator's waterproof metal body is a strong reason to pick it. It also gives you a light source that stands out on a control panel.
Product notes
2NC 22mm Emergency Stop Push Button Switch Red Mushroom Equipment e Stop Shut
The mxuteuk emergency stop uses a push-twist latching action: press the red mushroom button to open the circuit, twist to reset. With two normally closed contacts rated at 10A and an operating voltage of 660V, it is built for industrial stop circuits, and the screw terminal connector simplifies wiring. The button diameter is 40mm. This is a practical choice when you want a dedicated, visible stop control. The trade-off is the 1-way circuit type: it performs one switching action, so plan for one stop function per button. It is a single-button device, so it won't replace a full control station. Its narrow focus is exactly what some panels need.
Waterproof IP67 Metal LED Indicator Pilot Dash Light Panel Lamp 8/12/16/19/22mm
This pilot light accepts AC/DC 9-24V or AC 220V, and it offers both pin-type and screw-type wiring, so it can be matched easily to different panel wiring styles. The green single-color LED uses a through-hole mount, which is a standard way to install an indicator into a panel opening. It can be used in AC/DC circuits, which broadens its compatibility with different control panels. If you need straightforward status illumination, this indicator covers that job well. Because this is an indicator, its job is to display status rather than switch a circuit, so pair it with a separate switch whenever operator action is required.
Final choice by use case
Choose the emergency stop switch when you need a latching red mushroom button to shut down equipment. Choose the LED indicator pilot light when you need a green panel lamp that shows system status. If your panel needs both, think of them as partners: the switch handles the operator action, and the LED light handles the visible signal. Use the emergency stop switch for the red shutdown button, and use the LED indicator for the green status lamp. That pairing is common in industrial panels, and it lets each component do what it is named for.
