Light Switch



I have been trying to locate where to buy this light switch. The entire light fixture does not need to be replaced, only the switch is bad. Any help is greatly appreciated,

  • Radio Shack has a lot of electrical switches. If you have a Radio Shack near you might take a look to see if you could find one you could use.

    Be sure to take the switch with you when you go...

  • I had a small switch like that go bad on a light fixture, and found the same one on a similar light fixture in a second hand store.
  • It's a "SOTS" rocker switch, available at any electronics supply store.
  • Only numbers of it is DF-18001 3 amp. No name of the fixture or switch. I will try Radio Shack. Thank you all!

    You can try a Radio Shack. but odds are your best place will be an electronics supply house (If in S.E. Michigan try RS-Electronics on Schoolcraft in Livonia).

    This is the kind of store Joe's TV repair shops at.

    NOTE: the switch you find may be rated for something other than 12 volts and if that is for a common T-8 Type florescent light fixture. I would want at least 5 amps contact rating. Switch might not be the same color.. Might be black.

    But they should have one,, If you can not get the exact size, get a slighly larger one and file the opening.
