I made this pretty awesome worklight, and I have everything done except the power switch.
basically, the switch needs to fit inside a 1/2" gas pipe.. and I would like it to open contact only when the light is hanging directly upside down (its on a reel, so when wound up and hanging, the light should be off.). any other position it should be on.
I am going for all out durability, so im trying not to use a toggle switch. but this gaspipe gets pretty warm, so I would need an operating temperature around 150degF. its a 12v 1a load, but I could add a transistor if I have to.
I searched a few threads on here, but I really cant find anything. an accelerometer would work too, but im not familiar with what I should get.
