Hey, all. I'm a complete novice in the field of electronics, and I'm hoping you can help me figure something out.
I have two separate LED strips that will receive power from the same 12V source. I want to install a switch so I can route power to whichever lights I want lit. What I'd like to have is a three position switch: one for the green lights, one for blacklights, and one that will illuminate both strips together.
Would someone be willing to tell me exactly what I'm looking for in a switch? If you could point me toward one, and possibly even give me tips on wiring, I'd greatly appreciate it.
The extent of my electronics knowledge is wiring speakers, so please feel free to explain things as if I were a child. I won't be offended.
Edit:
I'm not picky about the method of selection. It could be a toggle, a rotary, a pull knob, or anything else that'll accomplish the task. Oh, and it'll be in a Jeep, so weatherproof would be a big plus.
