ABSTRACT:
A gravity actuated switch and an automotive under hood or under deck lid light assembly utilizing the switch. The switch includes a blade and a ball mounted for rolling movement along the blade in response to a change in attitude of the switch. The ball is operative in response to such rolling movement to move the blade between a first configuration in which the switch is open and a second configuration in which the switch is closed. The blade comprises a beam member formed of a spring material arranged in cantilever fashion. The spring material of the beam is electrically conductive and the beam forms a part of the electrical circuit path through the switch.
