I thought I was buying two colored signals - just saw them and saw the price and bought them - that'll teach me to look a bit closer next time :(

No, Havent got the switches yet BUT tht 's okay - I'll go and look for some TWO COLORED Signals instead as I'm not going to mess around with electonics any more than I have too

Don't be daft Tony, these will work, you'll just have to use two of three, so not a biggie,and the wiring is very simple, it just looks complicated
 
Question for you, you intend using a MRC controller for you accessories, is that including these signals and the switch motors ?
 
Okay, probably messed up again but at least these are on 2 lights and not 3 :)

I can always change the Yellow for a Green LED later on :)

Looks like a DPDT switch, is it a two or three position switch ?

Ah, I think it is 2 - yep, a two position switch. Is that good or bad?

From memory, I think I bought them when I had the brilliant idea of making myself a Control Panel Yeah, that went well :rolleyes:
 
Hmm - I guess that would be okay, after all - that is how it is in the real world ........... If I get tired of them, I can swap out the switches later.

So lets say I use these multi pinned Switches the DPDT ones. What wires go where? Could you draw me a diagram for that? I learn better if I can see what is happening :)

I am envious David - our Grand Daughter lives in Anchorage Alaska so we hardly ever get to see her - she is 8 :(

My two graddaughters' are 7 years old. One live a mile or so away and see her regularly. The other about 15 miles away, but hardly see her. She is always doing things in different places. She is off to New York in a couple of months. Having said that, we see her on facetime often.
