Switch preseal
Fiddly switch assembles for the footlights, before they are sealed inside weatherproof plastic.
The knots are because the heatshrink plastic sleeving won't contract to the cable width, but will close around the knots.
One set of knots is glued on, partly to simply the job, partly because I'm pushed for time, mainly because I'd lacquered the boards before I realised I needed a second knot.
The folding on the left of the board is the cable clamp, the plastic bit around the switch is to stop the heatshrink tube squeezing the button permanently down, and board is longer than you would think it need's to be because these boards are tiny and it must orientate correctly within the tube, and stay in place in use.
