    Do I need to buy a different switch?
    I just bought a new shop light from Wally-World (aka The Devil) and I would like to mount it on the bottom of one of my garage cabinets, so that it's hanging just above my workbench. I would also like to wire in a switch so I don't have to plug it in when I need it and then unplug it when I'm done. I have a switch that I could use, but I'm not sure if it is the correct size.

    Light - 120V~60Hz 70W 800mA

    Switch (has 3 ratings) -
    10A 250V AC
    15A 125V AC
    15A 12V DC

    Will this switch work or do I need to buy a different one?

    Yes 70/120 is < 15 A and the switch is AC rated.
