You can get slide switches with threaded holes. This is typically
used in a ceiling fan.

I haven't found any with threads with the required 1.125" hole spacing.

Maybe some ideas to consider if all else fails:
1. Is there enough thickness to cut a thread in the mounting hole with a
fine-pitch screw tap? The data sheet shows it to be 0.052" (1.32mm).
2. Consider glueing a nut onto the switch with epoxy, although from the
data sheet there is very little space between the hole and the body of
the switch for a nut.
3. If you can get to the power lead to the lamp, consider fitting a
separate, more reliable switch in the lead, and just leave the slide
switch in the "on" position (or even solder a short circuit across it).
