Looking for a light switch
« on: June 29, 2017, 06:41:38 pm »
OK, sound odd, don't know where else to ask, and you amazing people are brilliant at pointing in the right direction.
When I was a kid we had little switches, like miniature light switches, only about an inch or so wide. For running little lights off batteries. I'm wanting some so I can set some LED lights up in the shed, switch inside door like proper light switch, set my heart on these little switches but can't find anything on line, may be searching for wrong name?
Pic of my remaining one, screw missing but hope to get it running.
Can anyone help?
Does anyone else remember them :-) ?

try toggle switch, or small round toggle switch - I found this one:
