If you can find a switch to fit your light or can make one work you just simply need a regular on/off switch (example: instead of an on/on/on/off switch you need an on/off). Check with Grainger.com or an electrical supply house.

If that's the case then you have to bypass the circuit in the light. Have you taken it apart yet to see what's inside? __________________ I tear things down and build them up.
