Modding Ikea switch

Hi

Decided to share with those who are interested, my problem was simple, I like to grill, during the winter time I have no light at the spot where I want to grill, so I need a light. I do not want to turn it on or off with a switch, I have no power outlet where the grill is, but I 230 going to a outdoor light.

So plan was to take the power from that light, dissemble an IKEA power switch, mount everything in a IP65 enclosure and be happy while I grill.

So here comes the pics of the dissemble, I have not seen people modding these before so I decided to share for those who are interested in doing the same thing.
