Default Fluorescent Light switch - fixed

I ended up fixing my switch. A tiny plastic tab broke off so I got a
tiny nail and got it red hot with a torch then stuck it into the
plastic. Then to make the tab I molded epoxy around the nail head and
then filed it to shape after it had gotten hard. Works great.

Nice solution. I have one of those lights. It happens to be a good one
with good switches, but even the "cheap" ones are not cheap to replace. You
found a good resourceful answer.
