I have just bought the following 5-pin switches of eBay: here
Problem is that no spec came with it and I am now wondered if I can directly wire the LED pins to the main or if I need to add extra electronics.

Why don't you ask the seller? If there is no info how to use it, why did you buy it? – Justme Jul 09 '20 at 15:07

You can try to find a similar google circuit, and test conductivity between pins with a multimeter. – Michel Keijzers Jul 09 '20 at 15:41

Ebay says: **LED Voltage: Please choose the right Voltage in option** - so what option did you choose when you placed the order? – Andy aka Jul 09 '20 at 16:25

The LED voltage is part of the ordering options, so if you selected 220VAC, and they got the order right, that should be the correct voltage.

Ok, great, so I should be fine then. It would be a shame to blow it up :-) – toughQuestions Jul 09 '20 at 15:14

2Ok, I wired the 2 LED pins directly to the main and it did not blow up, yeah! :-) – toughQuestions Jul 09 '20 at 16:43

The seller provided the wiring diagram. I am adding it as an answer as I believe it may help other people to understand how these swtches work.
