| 742384 | 2009-01-27 05:40:00 | Hi, does anyone know how to turn 12v on and of using a single momentary on switch? Eg push once ON push again OFF. Effectively turning a momentary switch into a on/off switch Thanks |

| 742385 | 2009-01-27 07:45:00 | Depending on the load. Use an ordinary bell push. Or go to your electrical wholesale outlet & get a "bell push switchplate" . Cannot remember the proper name but it looks exactly like a single light switch but it is spring biased & when you operate it & let go, it returns to the off position. Be aware, tho, that 12 v DC switching causes much more of a spark than 12v AC. PJ |

| 742388 | 2009-01-27 08:41:00 | Guys, he's not wanting to purchase a new one; I was talking with him on the phone earlier. He already has a momentary-on switch that matches an existing decor perfectly, and it's the only switch he can find that matches. He just wants to know how he can set this switch up to perform the job of a push-on/push-off one, without replacing the existing switch. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 742389 | 2009-01-27 08:46:00 | An old telephone stepping switch will turn on/off quite a bunch of functions. Failing a suitable one coming to hand, a latching relay perhaps? | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 742390 | 2009-01-27 09:50:00 | Now I understand - look at this ourworld.compuserve.com | decibel (11645) | ||
