yep, all it takes is a little solder and u can add a rocker switch/automotive type switch/ or push button switch.

you are gonna need a Momentary Contact Normally Open Push Button switch (also known as M.C.N.O.). when you 'push the button' the switch 'closes', when you release the switch the circuit returns to 'open'!

fast-eddie....

I'm working on the same thing and was wondering how necessary it is to have a 10A - 250V Switch? Since i'll only be using it at 110V, do i still need a 10A rated switch? Most of the ones i see are rated for 3A (ie 900-7731) .......
