Hi,
I have a very simple problem. I'd like to make a light with 2 LED strips turn on with 0 - 50% - 100% power. I'd like to do this with a rotary switch.
The 2 strips are independent from each other, but physically are in the same housing so when only one of them is on it looks like 50% power.
I'm puzzled with the rotary switch though. Which type allows me to do this? The ones with the needed current rating on Digikey are the following for 3 positions:
- DP3T
- SP3T
- DPDT
I'm thinking I need a SP3T and solder 2 wires to one output for the 100% setting? Is this the right way to do it?
