Hi Guys,
I have 2 simple rocker switches which I am going to use as Generator on/off switches, and 2 red & green led's. I know how to wire up for Gen. on, but how do I wire up for Gen off, when there is no power to the switch in the off position. If it is indeed, possible!

Cheers,

Neil

Hi Neil, this is a "Mechanical" forum and I can't help you with electronics but I'm sure someone will answer you soon.

Nice to see another local, I live in Ballajura!

don't know how you are wiring, or what kind of switch you have,
but here's a simple way to light two led's from one switch based on the
position of the switch.
good luck ... ian

Thanks for all your replies guys. Seems simple enough if you think about it I suppose. Also, thanks again Ian, I was the guy who asked about wiring up the pot for a steering tiller, works well!
