The remote control has 8 functions. All of the functions are a momentary function. I'm trying to set up a LED work light on/off functions with the same button. This is a 24 volt system. The remote is also positive trigger not negative as in most cases.

I'm looking for the smallest relay possible.

I found a solid state option from IDEC but dimensions are out of my range.

Thanks in advance.

Relay Size has a lot to do with:

Switched Amps, Size of contacts
Switched Voltage, Distance the Contacts must travel through space.

How much current and voltage are trying to switch (your LED Lights ratinges)?

I'm assuming the 24V is the Remotes output?
