Default Waterproof On/Off Slide Switch

Ok so I am making my Wreckluse waterproof. I am putting all my electronics into a waterproof electronics box. But I will need a switch for my lights at least on the outside of the box. Has anyone else ran into this? What are you doing? Thanks

Power switches don't need to be waterproofed. Dielectric grease will prevent corrosion.

I cut all power switches off. They don't get corroded in the garbage can.

I am fine with cutting the esc switch off but for my lights I want to be able to cut them on at night. So I guess any switch will work just fine then and just put grease in it?
