LED-Button Hook Up for pen light (Who Related)

[arwa]

Does any have source for a small push button rig for my sonic that I am working on? I will need to house the battery set up as well.

I went to radioshack but came up empty. Does anyone have source for the small pieces that I need? Or some extras that they would be will to let go? I believe I have just a little over 1/2 inch to work with for space.

I have a few tiny push buttons from a laser pointer, but it's one of those switches you have to hold down for it to work. When you release it, it turns off.

It's pretty small too, if you want one, just let me know.

I got mine from my local electronics supply store.

Small push button with 4 poles on it for wiring.

Using one for my sonic too.

What about hacking a keychain LED light?

A single led can operate of off 2 or 3 (depending on rating of led, and or battery) watch batteries. Just run 2 wires in between the batteries and led, and you could make a sloppy, but usible swith by just touching the wires together. You could also get the mini touch button switches as well that would work (I thought radio shack stocked those, but I could be wrong). Either way I would use some cheap small watch batteries, they last a good while, and they are east to conceal.
