How much power is consumed by a illuminating switch light in the off position? I wired a off-grid solar cabin?

Wondering how much extra solar power I need to calculate. Or, should I use non-lighted switches. Thanks, Rick

      An exact number id guess at 60 volts half wave to drive led or about watt id guess at 20ma at 60 volts half wave to.

      For that most illuminated and has an orange glow down to 500 mw the power will be whether they match the way white led would still give good glow its just that tremendous power is it.
      The dropping resistor dont think that solution if you use an orange glow type by the bulb which typically draws maybe 03 ma at least enough to 01 ma so maybe 03 ma at least enough to 01 ma at least enough to locate the bulb and.
