Good Quality Inlet Power Switch/Socket

Good Morning

I just bought a proper power supply for Huxley, and I need a good quality inlet power switch/socket. A fuse would be preferable, and an LED indicator would be nice. There's a big selection on Amazon, but all of them have reviews saying they're prone to failing/melting/starting fires, so no me gusta. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

I use a power strip with a lighted switch on it. I currently use two outlets for my printing needs. When I'm done, I shut everything off. The strips also can come with built in protection, fuses, lightning, or GFCI.

AC Mains switched Fused Socket

good to 13 amps at least

Good idea Doug! If you buy the socket, make sure you get a good cord with a matching amp rating.
