Single pole surface mounted 12v switches?

I'm planning on installing some LED strips in my galley and they do not have built-in switches. I'd like to find a single pole surface mounted switch to mount on a bulkhead nearby but I've been having a hard time sourcing such a thing that's compact, reasonably priced, and attractive. Any ideas?

Try Switches - Blue Sea Systems for a variety of switch types that are SPST

Two possibilities come to mind: a simple SPST toggle switch and a "marine" push-pull switch. Both would require a smallish hole in a panel for mounting, with the wires concealed behind the panel. Easy to find at West Marine or any convenient marine store.

Don't forget to fuse the circuit.
