We often play card games on our deck at night. The deck light is too harsh. We have a solar powered lantern with LEDs but they're too horizontally directional and don't illuminate cards very well. In the middle of the table is an umbrella which is often collapsed, with the tips being ~9" above the table's surface. My idea was to make some little lights, tie them to string, tie the other end of the string to clothes pins, and have some removable hanging lights.
What I figure I need per light is: a 3v wafer battery, a resistor, an LED, and a tiny push-on/push-off button switch. Basically -- it's a throwie that isn't permanently on. The problem is, I can't find a really small on/off switch like this anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find one (hopefully cheaply)? Or if you have any other solutions to propose for this problem, I'm all ears.
