I've been trying to turn off a always on led with a push bottom and a transistor? What I want to do is to turn off the led when I push the botton.

I'm assuming your power supply is 5 volts, not 1 volt. As connected, the NPN transistor will attempt to short-circuit the power supply, which probably won't work. Try

1\$\begingroup\$ What's not working? The LED is always on? Always off? Transistor on fire? What voltages do you expect at key points in the circuit, and what do you actually get instead? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Oct 17, 2015 at 2:05

1\$\begingroup\$ The led is always on, but I need to turn it off when I push the button, and it doesn't work as I want, I only whan to turn off the led when I push the button. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Oct 17, 2015 at 2:09
