tyler-D,
A tape switch, or remote switch, is simply an extension of a light switch normally used in tactical light applications. It's a flat strip of rubber covering a contact switch that can be applied to the forgrip or handgun grip of a firearm used to activate a forward mounted weaponlight, or similarly configured light assembly via a coiled/straight wire (connected from the contact switch to the switch portion of the light assembly, usually the tailcap end). The majority of tape switches are momentary on/off switches. There are numerous versions of tape switches out there...
