This is the type of switch you'll want. It is a Double pole/Single Throw toggle switch rated for 15 amps. You can go higher than 15 amps, but do not want to go less than this. A 1000 watt bulb can pull up to 15 amps at startup. I picked this one up at Home Depot for $5.99. Try to make sure that the terminals are the screw in type. It makes it easier than having to solder your connections.
