    Rocker switch & LED wiring

    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!

    Re: Rocker switch & LED wiring

    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

    Re: Rocker switch & LED wiring

    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!
