how anyone came under the impression a tetrix switch is not allowed is beyond me.
Because it is "hidden" within. R92, stating that Tetrix NXT components are allowed. All sensors on that list are allowed, which included your switch.

However, the inspector, IMHO, was correct in saying your "lamp switch" is not marketed as a light switch. Do some research and shop around for one that is marketed as a light switch that will suit your application. As an alternative, there are limit snap switches that are not momentary and exceed your contact amp requirements. Push once, it's on, push again, it's off. digging for what you need is part of the game.
