Thank you. Exactly what I needed to see. Converting to wall mounted switch will be easy.
Interesting that they switched both side of the circuit -- positive/supply-side and negative/ground-side. Only one side actually needs to be switched and, as a matter of ornery preference, I prefer positive/supply side switching. (Negative/ground-side switching is rare enough to cause confusion if you don't consider the possibility ... based on personal trouble-shooting experience.)
I assume the white wires are positive/supply-side and black wires are negative/ground-side. (Polarity is important unless the PCBs have circuits for 'correcting' reversed polarity.)
Need suitable wall mount switch. Single or double pole will work because we're only going to switch the positive/supply-side of the circuit. It may be designated as double or triple throw, depending on whether the OFF position is counted or not. So, suitable switches would be SPDT, DPDT, SP3T, or DP3T. (SPDT or DPDT is more likely.)
Regardless of pole/throw designation, it should be an OFF-ON-ON or ON-OFF-ON switch. (OFF-ON-ON would be preferable, to avoid passing through OFF when changing low/high setting. Unfortunately, OFF-ON-ON is less common than ON-OFF-ON.)
Do not choose OFF-ON-(ON) or (ON)-OFF-ON ... the parenthesis indicate spring-loaded momentary contacts. Likewise, don't choose ON-ON or ON-(ON) as neither of those have an OFF position.
What wirea to cut and where to cut them will follow, once you've chosen or obtained suitable switch(es).
