Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
For future reference if you have this type of LED toggle switch:Tim292stro- I took a switch apart but no resistor inside. Once I have the correct resistor, how do I wire it in? The terminals on the switches are labeled "power", "acc", "ground".
I was just trying to avoid that- but it was helpful to have someone show me exactly how to wire it- even though it's very simple to do. Like they say "simple things fascinate simple minds", and this has been just fascinating.Post #2 suggested that.
Ahh, yeah having the specs on the switches helps when determining current draw and voltage range.Thanks Mike! I didn't know the current draw until I went back to the store and decided to try the 12V route again. I tried the same switch before with some led work lights that only pulled 2 amps total. The light burned out in about two months but the switch continued working.
I was really hoping to find 24V switches and avoid using resistors altogether.
