A push-button actuatable electrical switch is disclosed. In one embodiment, the
push-button electrical switch includes a body, a push-button lens cap extending
from a first end of the body, and an electrical switch. Depression of the push-button
lens cap causes the electrical switch to be activated. An electrically conductive
pathway is defined through the body to a support structure whereby electrical discharges
are routed to ground rather than through the lamp and electrical switch. In one
embodiment, the pathway is defined by conductive carbon particles dispersed through
a plastic forming parts of the switch, such as the body and the lens cap.
