Please suggest good small indicator lamp

[EskilJ]

Hi, I'm doing a canister for suit heating.
The plan is to use a piezo push button, but then I'll also need a small indicator lamp on the canister, maybe a lamp or 3mm/5mm LED holder - but pressure safe.

All I've found have been really huge IP69 and IP68 lamps.
Do you know lamps /LED holders like this?

You may find that you're better off incorporating a transparent or translucent window into the canister and then using an ordinary IP00 LED. That is what we do at my day job.

Thanks 2airishuman. We also use or develop light guides a lot for the (electrical) products I develop in my day job. I'm more looking for something easy to use/ readymade, to speed up this design a little, I'm after all not into making a production. So any suggestions of ready-made O-ring tightened "windows" would be nice. I'm considering acrylic screws with an o-ring, but they tend to be very small.

@EskilJ frankly unless you want to do this for the sake of doing it, I would check out the UWLD vest controller. It has custom designed boards in place with output indication on the piezo buttons. If you want it adapted to an existing canister, I'm sure they would consider doing it, but you'll likely spend a lot more time/effort than it is worth to buy something that is already well designed off the shelf.

Thanks, looks like nice stuff - and I agree that factory made eqpt. is more reliable than homemade stuff. Anyways, I'm in the process of making a cannister.

Did anyone try this:

Sorry, double post.

Isn't that the definition of DIY?

I ended up with a build without indicator lamp, you can see it here:
