Hi all,
I hope someone will be kind enough to offer me some advice.
I'm very new to electronics, and I need to make a simple circuit. Essentially it is just a light that comes on when a push switch is held down, and goes off when it is released. I don't know the technical term for a switch like that though.
The light itself also needs to be quite specific. It has to be something similar to a mini maglite. It has to be around 10mm in diameter, and provide a quite "focussed" or "directed" light, and preferably blue. I know that many torches seem to use a lens and a reflective area to achieve this. I feel like I just don't know the technical terms or what to look for on the stat sheets.
If anyone can give me any guidance I would be very grateful.
