Hi, frozenwarp
This is my first post to the CPF.

I have used many small reed switches in my UW focus lights.
Please see the left menu at my homepage.
In the 'Light' of UW DIY section, you can see how i have used the reed switch
in 1-10W focus light and UltraFire C2 MC-E.

This is a wiring digram of a reed switch with a relay in my 10WLED light.

Sorry many articles are written in Japanese
(recent modification of UltraFire C2 MC-E in poor English).
So any question is welcome.
I hope my experience may help you.
Thanks.
