Come back Woolworths. They used to have some mini toggle switches ideal for
low voltage use like this. I wonder if anyone still produces them.

One thing though, 12v dc can be more annoying than mains as the contacts can
be tarnished as they get in some old style bell pushes you can get and then
they just flicker or don't work at all.

I'm looking for some small switches that I can mount on a surface,
i.e. on flat walls (mostly wooden panels, possibly metal in a couple
of cases). They can't be mounted in a hole at all because the other
side of the same panel is also an 'outside' surface.

They don't need to be safe for mains, they are only switching 12 volts
at quite a low current (LED lighting, maximum an amp or so).

Can anyone suggest anything suitable? Part of the trouble is that
searching for 'surface mount[ing]' just produces an overwhelming
number of SMD components which doesn't help at all.

An architrave switch in a matching box is about the best I can manage
at the moment but they're far bigger than I really want.
