Hello guys, I’m looking to add a led strip to my Ender 6 straight from 24v. I have a 1m 24v Warm White FOB LED strip I will cut down to probably less than half its length. The full 1m strip consumes 10w which I believe is around 420 milliamps.

I’d like to add a switch so the light isn’t always on when the PSU is powered.
The voltage and amp rating is a bit confusing for some switches, so I’m not 100% sure what I’m looking for. I don’t want to take any chances so I thought I’d ask here.

Will any switch which is rated 24v> .3 amps do the job? Should I be looking for anything else?

Ideally I’d like the switch button to be round, 12mm or less. I have been looking at the anti-vandal type but the ratings seem a bit all over the place. Would appear different retailers use different ratings for the same switch.

Can anyone confirm for me exactly what I need?
