Childproofing Switches in an SMB....

I'll clarify: First, I have a CCV top, and it does have a momentary rocker switch. As it came, anyone could just hit the switch to see if it is a lightswitch, food dispenser, or disco ball strobe. Obviously with the latches in place this "sorry Daddy, I just touched it for a second to see what it does" could destroy things in a hurry. To alleviate this, I installed a SECOND single pushbutton momentary switch that provides power to the rocker. In other words, you have to hold in the push button while activating the rocker up or down.
