A control panel is shown with at least one switch (12) whose actuating button (6) is situated in an opening (3) of a front panel (4), and with a housing (1) arranged in the region of the opening (3) of the front panel (4) and enclosing the switch (12), which housing forms between an inner and an outer circumferential wall (2, 5) an annular gap (8) for receiving at least one lighting means (11), which annular gap is open towards the front panel (3) and is covered in a light-transmitting manner. In order to provide advantageous constructional conditions it is proposed that that the housing (1) is inserted with its outer circumferential wall (2) in a flush manner into the opening (3) of the front panel (4) and encloses the actuating button (6) with its inner circumferential wall (5), and that the light-transmitting cover of the annular gap (8) between inner and outer circumferential wall (2, 5) consists of a foil (9) extending over the front panel (4).
