I have a Hypex soft start and Hypex smps. I want to turn the soft start on/off with a push button LED switch. I want the LED to be on when on and off when off. I have wired up a 1NO1NC pushbutton switch with C and NO to SW and + and - to the LED and put the jumper to the push button ON setting. The softstart and amp turn on and off with the button, but the LED ring stays ON all the time.
How can I wire this so that the LED ring goes off when the amp is turned off?
Is this possible with this switch?
I only turn the amp off overnight and see no reason to have the LED on all night.

Just make sure to use this resistor calculator to figure out the best power level for your switch LED:
LED Calculator - Current limiting resistor calculator for LED arrays
Check the data sheet of your switch to find out the LED specs.

Power the LED from the aux supply on the SMPS.
Working good now. Thanks for the tip.
