Hi,
I have a tiny project for a Halloween costume. I bought a lighted rocker switch from radio shack that I only want to light up. I don't want it to do anything else. I have it wired to a standard 9volt battery, but when connect it, the battery gets very hot. The switch has three prongs on it, power, load, and ground. How can I make this simple prop work, without the danger of the battery exploding? Here is the link to the switch.

Thanks,
Larry
