Replacing the stock switch with a LED latching switch?
Hey All,
As above, is it possible to replace the stock switch on one of these led tape lights with an LED latching switch?

The switches I'm looking at are these as it's for a kids bedroom project

I imagine it's possible but the simple looking things are often the most complex.
Thanks - Rob

Momentary(Self-reset)，Latching(Self-locking)
Are the switches strictly momentary or do they lock in on one push and unlock out on a second push ?

That's correct.... you would use latching.
You would install that between the plug in power supply and the LED's.
What is the voltage listed on the power supply ?

Says 12v - 1A so I'm guessing It shouldn't need adjusting for adding the switch.

You should be all set. The wiring should be easy when you get the switches.
They should come with a terminal connection sheet.

I'm now wondering if I could also use this to power a group of these switches in parallel so the kids can turn them on and off for fun without impacting the light strip itself?
I was planning on wirring those up with AA batteries to keep it separate but if it's simple enough to add 10 switches to each circuit I could do that too?
