WESUA LED Lighted Doorbell Button Push Switch Wall Mounted For Chime Ring

A straightforward, lighted upgrade for a tired doorbell

I replaced my aging front-door button with the WESUA doorbell button and came away impressed by how quietly it solved a common household annoyance. It’s a simple, slender, wall-mounted pushbutton with a built‑in LED ring, designed for wired chime systems. No frills, no app, no subscription—just a clean, illuminated target that helps visitors find the bell after dark.

Design and build

The unit I tested is the black version. It measures about 2.9 × 0.9 × 0.6 inches, which makes it narrower than many of the wider decorative plates but tall enough to comfortably press. The footprint is ideal for covering the typical footprint of an old button without overhanging brick or trim. It’s a modern, low‑profile look that blends well with darker door hardware and house numbers.

Build quality is better than its price suggests. The housing feels rigid, the button sits square, and there’s a satisfying, positive click when you press it. I wouldn’t call it heavy‑duty—this is still a lightweight, molded plastic assembly—but nothing rattles, and mine seated flush to the wall without fuss.

One omission: there’s no published weatherproofing rating. My install is under a covered porch, where it should last. If your button sees direct rain or harsh sun, I’d keep an eye on it or consider a unit specifically marketed as weather‑resistant.

Installation experience

From start to finish, this was a five‑minute swap.

• I shut off power to the transformer at the breaker (always do this—doorbell transformers can bite).
• Pulled the old button, labeled the two wires, and loosened the old terminals.
• The WESUA button uses two screw terminals—no polarity for the switch itself—so it’s a straightforward land-and-tighten job.
• The new plate aligned with my existing anchors. I reused my old mounting screws because the included screws felt a touch soft and started to cam out. With proper pilot holes and a gentle hand they’d probably be fine, but if you have beefier screws on hand, use them.

The manufacturer rates the button for 9–24 V DC power. In my case, it replaced a traditional wired chime on a legacy transformer and worked as a direct swap—no new transformer, no extra components. If you’ve got a very old or finicky mechanical chime that hums with lighted buttons, a small shunt resistor or snubber across the chime terminals can cure that; keep any components from your previous setup if they were present. Otherwise, the install is as basic as it gets: two wires and two screws.

LED illumination

The built‑in LED is the main quality‑of‑life upgrade here. At night, the button is easy to spot without being a visual hotspot. The illumination is even and subtle; I never found it distracting through the sidelight window. Power draw is negligible for a wired doorbell circuit.

One thing to consider with any lighted doorbell: the LED is on continuously. On some older mechanical chimes, that trickle of current can cause a faint hum. I didn’t hear any hum with my setup. If you do, adding a purpose‑built doorbell shunt or following your chime maker’s guidance generally resolves it.

As for longevity, the LED in my unit has held up so far. If the light ever fails, the button still functions as a momentary switch, so your chime will continue to ring. But you’ll lose the night‑time visibility until you replace the unit.

Everyday performance

Press feel matters more than people realize. This button has a short throw and a crisp actuation point—you know exactly when you’ve rung the bell. Visitors don’t have to mash, and the click provides confidence even in gloves. The ring at the chime is immediate; I never noticed partial presses or double triggers.

The button sits flush, and the housing doesn’t twist when you tighten it down, which helps maintain alignment over time. After several weeks of mixed weather (cool mornings, warm afternoons), the action hasn’t changed and the LED brightness looks consistent.

Compatibility notes

• Power: The unit is labeled for 9–24 V DC. In practical terms, it behaved as a drop‑in replacement for my existing wired chime. If your system is truly DC, LED polarity could matter; land the positive lead on the terminal marked for the lamp if identified. For typical two‑wire doorbell runs, the switch function itself is non‑polarized.
• Chimes: Works with standard wired chimes. It’s not intended for wireless receivers or battery‑only systems, and it’s not a smart/camera doorbell.
• Extras: If your old lighted button used a separate diode, resistor, or shunt across the chime, keep it. Some chimes need those small parts to prevent buzzing or to ensure a full strike when the button is illuminated.

If you’re unsure what you have, take a photo before disconnecting anything and note the transformer’s output. A quick check saves a lot of guesswork.

Fit and finish details

The dimensions are thoughtfully conservative, which helped me avoid drilling new holes in brick. If your previous button had wider spacing, you may need to enlarge the plate’s mounting slots slightly or rely on your existing anchors. The face cleans up easily with a microfiber cloth; the black finish hides fingerprints better than I expected.

My only gripe is the bundled hardware. The included screws are serviceable but soft. They’re fine for fresh wood, but on masonry or old anchors, I wouldn’t push them. Reusing the old screws or grabbing a pair of stainless replacements is a better route.

Value

This is the kind of small upgrade that feels disproportionately good for the cost. Compared with the decorative plates at big‑box stores, it’s budget‑friendly, it looks clean, and it adds useful illumination. If you’re not ready to commit to a full video doorbell but want something that works, this is a sensible middle ground.

Who it’s for—and who should skip it

Choose this button if:
- You have a wired door chime and want a quick, lighted replacement.
- You prefer a compact, minimal look in black or white.
- You want an easy, low‑risk DIY swap without changing transformers or chime wiring.

Consider alternatives if:
- Your button is fully exposed to harsh weather and you need a rated weatherproof unit.
- You’re upgrading to a smart/camera doorbell (this is not that).
- Your existing system is wireless or battery‑only.

The bottom line

The WESUA doorbell button does exactly what it should: it updates a tired, brittle button with a compact, modern replacement that lights up the target and rings reliably. Installation is beginner‑friendly, the press feels crisp, and the LED makes nighttime visits less awkward. I’d like a sturdier set of mounting screws in the box and a clearer weather rating, and LED longevity is something I’ll continue to watch. But as a practical, inexpensive improvement for a wired chime, it’s easy to recommend.

Recommendation: I recommend this button for most wired doorbell replacements. It’s a straightforward install, the lighted button is genuinely useful after dark, and the overall value is strong. Just reuse better mounting screws if you have them and verify your chime setup if it’s unusually old or sensitive.
