I did a stupid and put a 12v E14 LED bulb into a 120 volt socket in the cabin (that'll teach me to double check the part description before ordering). It obviously failed, and in a very spectacular fashion, but it also seems to have taken out the switch as well. The switch now "defaults" to the on position, and when pushed to "off" will immediately flip back to "on", as if it were spring-loaded.

I haven't put a new A/C bulb back in yet, because I don't want to mess with the circuit until I fix the switch. I've looked around, but can't find the 120V version of the switches anywhere.

Does anyone know of a source for a new switch? Thanks!
 
Thanks, I didn't realize they were OK with AC and DC voltages.
