Hello folks,
I really hope someone can help me please. Im basically trying to extend an led and a small switch to about 2 meters, I have a circuit (just a wireless doorbell) It has a button and 2 smd leds, I need to replace the 2 leds with 1 * 3mm led and the switch to the normal doorbell switch, I was hoping someone could help me with some idea on how to do this please?
At the moment, the doorbell is a wired doorbell that I am having to change the 9v battery in every 2 days because I added an led to it, I like the look of the bell so I didn't want to change the outside fascia, I then changed it so the led is powered using the circuit from a outdoor solar light, so in the night it lights up and the main bell works with a 9v battery however again im having to change the battery every 4 days instead lol... So my idea was to replace the bell with a wireless bell however use the fascia of the old switch/bell, it has a clear ring that lights up. The wireless bell that I bought has two small leds that light when pressed and ive assumed if I unsolder these and replace them with a 2 meter wire connected to the 3mm led I have the small 12v 23A battery the bell has would die after about 2 rings, so I just wanted a better solution.
I just dont know enough about electronics to figure out how to do this, I did think of something like a small relay that when the button is pushed the led circuit on the new bell fires this and that turns on a separate circuit with just the led a resistor and a 9v battery, however dont know if this is the correct way to accomplish this
I really hope this all makes sense and I hope someone can help
Thank you
