Ok i want to use this switch: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/16mm-Anti-Vandal-Momentary-Red-Ring-Switch-P412.aspx
With this battery holder: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/4AAA-battery-holder-P133.aspx
Which resistor should I use. Im not using any special batteries. So can someone help me figure out which one i need to get.

I will answer quickly to avoid painful answers from others...:)

In the very description of the switch you have this :

4.8V would use a 150ohm 1/4 watt resistor, 6V would use a 220ohm 1/4 watt resistor

And in the description of the battery holder that :

Takes 4 standard size AAA batteries side by side to provide 6V or 4.8V (rechargeable) in a small space

So if you use alkaline batteries it would be 6v, ie 220ohm 1/4 watt resistor, and if you use rechargeable batteries, ie 4.8v, it would be 150ohm 1/4 watt resistor...Don't forget the resistor chart when you don't know which resistor to use.

Read and learn, and a great jedi you'll become, oupssss, I forgot you are an adept of the , easier, quicker dark side ;)
