Quick take
You need to decide how an operator will start, stop, or read a machine. These four signaling and operator controls cover three different jobs: a flush black push button, a four-color indicator light, a set of small waterproof momentary buttons, and a red mushroom e-stop. Listed prices range from USD 17.50 to USD 65, so the choice depends less on price alone and more on whether you need maintained switching, momentary contact, or multi-color status indication.

Decision matrix
- Pick the Allen Bradley 800T-A2D1 when you need a single heavy-duty flush push button for commercial and industrial control panels.

- Pick the mxuteuk 22mm red mushroom e-stop when you need latching emergency shut-off with two normally closed contacts.
Product notes
Allen Bradley 800T-A2D1 Flush Black Push Button
The 800T-A2D1 is a flush-head black push button from the Allen Bradley 800T line, listed as new and built for control equipment panels, commercial wiring, fan control, and industrial use. It carries a heavy-duty feature label and is made in the United States. At a listed USD 30.00, it is the second-most expensive item here, but it gives you one self-contained button rather than a multi-function head. If you are replacing a worn panel control and want the classic Allen Bradley look, this is the button to consider. The trade-off is price per unit: you get one button, while the USD 17.99 four-pack provides four smaller momentary switches if you just need basic contact closure.
Allen Bradley 800T-PC416 Indicator Lights (4-Function)
This is a multi-color pilot light assembly: one 120V head with red, blue, green, and clear functions. It is suited to showing mode or machine conditions, such as manual versus auto, warnings, or status, through a quad indicator with one bulb drawing about 9.2W when lit. The package includes rubber spacers, the tightening mounting nut, and a decorative barrel nut. It is sold as new-open-box and comes as-is without its original box, which helps explain why it is the highest listed price at USD 65.00. Choose it when a single panel cutout has to convey four different statuses without adding extra pilot light bodies.
4pcs Metal Momentary Push Button Switch (8mm)
This four-pack covers jobs like power start, doorbell, or low-current control. Each button is a metal momentary switch with a high head and silver point, normally open and self-reset: press and hold to close the contact, release to break it. The buttons are waterproof and intended for wet and dusty environments, and they come prewired with wire leads so no soldering is required. The listed price is USD 17.99 for the set. Since the action is momentary rather than latching, treat these as signal buttons, not as emergency stop devices. The 8mm mounting hole requirement is smaller than the 22mm e-stop in this lineup.
2NC 22mm Emergency Stop Push Button Switch (Red Mushroom)
This mxuteuk e-stop uses a push-twist latching action, so a press stops the machine and a twist releases it. The red mushroom head is 40mm across, the mount hole is 22mm, and the switch carries two normally closed contacts rated at 10 amps with screw terminals. Listed at USD 17.50, it is the least expensive product in this comparison and offers emergency-stop function in a compact industrial-style package. The main limitation is panel fit: the listed maximum panel thickness is 15/64 inch, so a thicker enclosure would push beyond the stated fit range.
Final recommendation by use case
- Classic heavy-duty push button for commercial and industrial panels: Allen Bradley 800T-A2D1 at USD 30.00.
- Multi-color status on one head: Allen Bradley 800T-PC416 at USD 65.00.
- Several compact waterproof momentaries: 4pcs Metal Momentary Push Button Switch at USD 17.99.
- Red mushroom e-stop with two NC contacts and screw terminals: mxuteuk 2NC 22mm E-Stop at USD 17.50.
