Hey,
I am trying to update my grandfather's old desk lamp with LED but using as many original parts as possible. This is the switch at the top of the lamp that controlled the fluorescent ballast in the base. I would like to use this switch to control an LED tube.
The red button of the switch is "momentary on" while the black is "momentary off".
It is my understanding that I could control a relay with these two buttons. First, is that true? Second, what relay would I need? I'm having trouble figuring out the wiring and terminology of what I might use.
I am flexible about whether the LED tube is 120v AC or 12/24VDC. Would one or the other make my life easier trying to fit it into a lamp base?
Thank you for any advice.
