Hello!

I was wondering if you could help me with a small project. What I'd like to do is have a LED turn on by a toggle switch. But the toggle switch would be around 20ft away from the LED. Self contained running off of a battery.

Using something like these 2 things. Afraid I've got no electronics experience or know how but I can solder if that helps.

Doesn't have to be the toggle switch if it'd cause more fuss than it's worth, just some sort of switch that would activate the LED.

Thanks for your time and any help.

Regards

Gary.

You need to find out the specs on LED voltage to choose battery.

Specifications:
Voltage: 4.8~6v

Looks like they are all in parallel with a small resistor added.

This range is a not a great choice for batteries. Can you locate a large enough battery for your needs in this range? Something like a lantern battery 6V then Red to V+ and black to V- and switch in series in between.
