Hi i have a DPST switch with a built in lamp, which im going to put into my hakko fx888,
the lamp is between switches like so
-A1---/ ---A2-
|
(x)
|
-B1---/ ---B2-

the original switch only has 2 prongs with phase from the power cable, and the other goes to the fuse board, the switch just breaks the phase inlet
i know i can wire the new one with A1 to A2 to make it work like the original, but how can i get the lamp to work when the switch is in one direction? do i have to break out neutral to B1?

A2 to incoming active, A1 to power transformer active, B1 to incoming/transformer neutral.
The lamp is rated for mains voltage I assume?
