Question Which Toggle Switch

I bought the flex a lite fan kit and I'm ready to install but I don't know which toggle switch to use as far as power rating goes. I would like to know if I could use a mini 125 volt 10 amp toggle switch. It's on the radioshack web site. I also want to attach a couple of small leds to this switch. What should the ratings on those be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Kyle

Any

Any switch will do. All your doing is pulling a relay to ground, so virtually no power will flow through the switch. This is very different from how the JDM switch is tpically wired (switching a hot lead instead of a relay).

So to get the LED's to work I would have to run a seperate power wire or tap into one somewhere?
