Is there any type of push button switch that activates this, say, one that contains a magnet, or do I need to mount a magnet in a rotating ring on the body of my light or such? I am aware there are plenty of regular clicky switches that will work for 10+ amps but I wanted a mosfet switch. Too bad taskled doesnt sell one that is activated by a pushbutton switch.

Edit:
After some thought and looking into magnets, there seem to be many ways I could do it. I could mount a tiny magnet in one side of a knob positioned offset from the hall sensor, or even in a thumbwheel. I could probably get a magnet of just the right strength to mount in a vertical switch. I think though that I will machine a small, short travel slide with a 1/16 or 1/8 magnet inside of it, which will be externally mounted to the body of the light.
