That's good to hear, it reinforces my theory a little. It helps eliminate one thing I was thinking about.
Are you waiting for the switch to get to you now?
If you are waiting don't worry about it not working, and don't run the light without it.
I think there is not much else that can be differerent between what you did and what TT did. It is also typical for that kind of product to need the wires connected only in one way. I really think that's it, unless there is something special to shut it off like two pushes of the button, or to hold it for longer than you did. Did any instructions or a schematic come with the switch? Did you see anything on paper, or on the switch, or even on the wires, that said "load" or "line" ?
