Option B would be to use the Turnigy light switch in place of the pico switch to control the live wire (also cheaper too)
Was unaware of the issue on the Pico's Martin, I use them to control the lights on my r/c construction stuff and never had an issue. I leave the lights on for the entire length of a batt run time.
