I bought couple switches but they all require common ground so I got lost in cabling and used a small brushed motors controller... I can dim the lights with a TX knob. Very useful for different light conditions (total dark, full moon, etc).

Pretty sure the ones I bought (but did not really try) were "Turnigy Receiver Controlled Switch".

Look for something like that (HobbyKing should have them), they are not stuff specific for LEDs.

As said, I ended up using a TURNIGY 20A BRUSHED ESC SPEED CONTROLLER, which can also be used for simple on/off if the channel is governed from a switch instead of a knob like in my case).

(I bought everything on eBay at the time, that's why I cannot give you links )))))
