If you have been reading some of my other posts, you know that I want
to
turn on and off more than one light, so I need several of these
circuits, preferably using the minimum number of components.

Another option I would like to explore is to turn the light on and
off
using 2 inputs. Say we have in put A and B. If input B is high,
when
input A goes high, turn the light on, or leave it on. If input B is
low, when input A goes hight, turn the light off, or leave it off.

Yes, a flip-flop would do it and someone is sure to suggest a PIC, both
requiring a fair amount of extra components to actually work. Have you
looked for alternate action switches or relays? It would run your
lights and not require a degree to get it to work.
