It's not a flashlight. You can hurt yourself at these voltages. Do you still think, after all these years, that you can "just switch the hot line?" First, you'd have to get dressed for it. Then you'd need a second voltage matching circuit. Switching 200+VDC with mechanical contacts causes an arc every time you open and close the switch. The arc destroys the contacts, so the switch fails. You'd need to add a second voltage matching circuit to your added pack, to bring the contacts up to voltage before closing them. Now, where are you going to put it?
