HI newcomer to the wiring world and need a little help navigating the tutorials out there.
I am working on a project and I would like to run rope lights through out a costume . its a pretty easy project but I would like to add 2 buttons to the rope lights. One button that turns the EL wire off and on. i would like a second button that if you hold down the button the EL wire will light up and if you let go of the button it will turn off. I would also like the buttons to be in a glove for easy use
Its pretty easy to find tutorials to add a button to a battery pack and extension to the button but nothing about having 2 buttons with different modes that work on the same rope lights.
Can anyone point me in the right direction

Re: Two button rope light costume project.
So, with one button the lights are on all the time or off all the time and with the other the lights are on when pressed and off if the other switch is in the off position? For that an "on/off" switch in parallel with a "momentary" switch would work.
