Can anyone recomend a place to buy a foot kill switch for the LI's? I am thinking of something similar to a old headlight dimmer switch.

Kind of like this? Jameco Electronics Electromechanical: JAMECO VALUEPRO: GPB002-CN
I can't determine if it's a momentary switch or not. You don't want a momentary switch.
I want to be able to kill the LI's and leave them off if need be. I will install a LED to remind me they are off.
This is the wiring schematic from the instruction manual. I wouls like the pictured switch be a foot switch.
Why not just put the LIs power switch in close reach? Thats what I did with mine
Carling 110-P SPST. It's a heavy-duty latching (on/off, not momentary) footswitch that is used in a lot of high-end guitar effects pedals and such. They're easy to find on the web and worth the money.
Because he wants to be cooler than you ;)Quote:

You only need two pins if you're using it solely as a kill switch. The other two connections are for the LED, which you can wire up elsewhere.Quote:

Bradthemad's recommendation seems like the best. That's what I was initially thinking about, a plunger type switch that's used for electric guitars

Being electrically challenged, where would I pick up the ground for the LED
with the LJ's off ?
