Instead of a light it was a card that slid up and down. It worked quite well as no one could steal them, they didn't fall off, and they didn't use electricity. <br>I actually walked all over the ship curious if the cards got bent or worn out somehow, but I couldn't find any evidence of that happening.

The mechanical button is more likely to fail (won't push in or out) before the LED fails. This is very common in high-end hotels in Europe and China.

Haven't ever seen this before but the lights are likely (and if not, should be) LED thus they've got a decent lifespan and their energy-consuming costs would be marginal. Very cool.
