ok, I know this is a stupid question(s) but I'm asking anyways. I kind of know the difference, but I need a switch that won't make the led blink while dueling. I bought some good switches from lowes (the big metal ones) but they don't last very long...and I want a switch from here (because the battery pack wont fit with the switch I have now) that won't blink. Also, I plan on getting a sound/effects package, so I was wondering if I should just go ahead and get a momentary switch, since Ill need it later in time. Which switch do I need so I doesn't blink? SPDT?

I'm using a basic on/off switch from lowes. 5w cyan.

it blinks when you tap the switch. blink as in turns off for a second but won't stay off because it doesn't get switched off completely. I need a switch that wont turn off when I tap it. there is nothing wrong with my LED or the wiring.

God, I should really read those descriptions every once in a while. I've seen them so many times that I don't even read it because I know what they are and do.

What do you mean by "blinking"? Are you bumping the switch when you duel and the LED turns off for a second?

If that is the case, then I recommend this switch from the store: SPST Push on/off - Mom switch with black button
Price: $5.00

Then your LED will never turn off during dueling again. That's why Tim got these, at the behest of one of my friends.

It's not the same. That just looks like a big red nipple to me...sorry if anyone finds that profane.
