Need help reversing a button

Using Arduino General Electronics
#1

Hello,

I’m sure there is a simple solution to this but I can’t find one. I have an led wired similar to http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Fade. Instead of the LED fading in and out, I want the LED to light up by default and turn off when a button is held in. I know I can do this using code, but I was wondering how to do this using only the 5V and GND pegs.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Use a normally-closed switch.

I knew it was something simple. I did not know those existed.

Thanks!!!

Let the pushbutton short the LED. This will draw a little bit more current but..........
