Got this switch, 12 both AC and DC so it says. How to I wire it to a DC battery? The arrow on the switch says Lighting, in case you can't read it. My guess is white to battery +, black to battery - and light -, red to light +.
The diagram underneath must be fore an additional switch, firing line, zero line?

Ok.. I'm a little confused.. Is this a photo sensitive switch (turns on in dark and off in light)?
How I interpret it for DC! The "white" line is battery negative and you want both supply and load to connect to that terminal (negative from battery and negative from light).
The positive from the battery goes to the "firing line/black" and the positive from the light goes to the "load/red" terminal.
When the switch activates it will connect the "firing line/black" and the "load/red" terminals to turn on the light.

Hmm, that's different from what I was thinking. Here is the link to the dingus.

I concur with this take.

Yep, that works! Little strange hooking the black to DC+. Now I just have to remember why I bought it.
Thanks guys!
