The switches from both BatterySpace and LightHound are the exact same ones. I've bought them from both places and they are identical.

Here's one of the tail switches I did with them:

I have been looking at that switch for another purpose, how well do you think it will keep water out? Its rated "waterproof" with that rubber boot.

I wouldn't want to use it as a dive light, but it does seem to be fairly waterproof. The rubber wraps all the way around to the bottom of the switch cover. If I were worried about water intrusion, I would probably add a little silicone or other gasket sealant to the bottom of the cover as I installed it to make sure no water could leak past.
