I've asked a few electricians this question...and most don't see a problem, but I wanted to check-in with the folks here first.
I'd like to use a small 12V/DC computer fan like this:

...on a regular house type light switch (120V AC 15A)...for this very small DC load. I know for bigger loads you definitely want a DC switch--due to potential arcing (watch this video comparing AC to DC with a knife switch...Yikes!
Yes I could use a small/DC toggle switch, but I already have the AC one and like the look better....and have a nice place to mount it. (Fan is for additional cooling for a camper vans 30A DC-DC charger.)
