Hello, don't know if this is the right part of the forum to ask this, direct me if i'm wrong. I have minimal electrical knowledge.
I am making a prop build, and for this prop I need 2 LED diodes and 1 flashlight. I want everything to run on the same power-supply and have the ability to switch both leds on/off and also the flashlight on/off. As in 2 switches, one for the 2 LED's and one for the flashlight.
The flashlight normally uses 1xAAA battery, and I measured it to consume about 0.6 amps.
The LED's have a voltage of 2.8-3.1 with a draw of 20mA.
Ideally i'd want to use a 2xAA source. I could also use a 1x18650 one but maybe that is a bit extreme and possibly dangerous messing with those cells.
Doing just the LED circuit for me is no problem, but it's when I throw the flashlight and switches into the mix I have some problems understanding how it will work on one power-supply. Can anyone direct me in the right direction? Would really want to avoid cramming 2 separate battery packs in there.
