So I'm really rusty, but I am trying to build a simple circuit and want to verify it would work. I can't seem to find a decent free simulator that I can confirm this on, but I know most of you with a simple look can tell me if I'm off base here.
So I have two 12v LED's for car use rated for 9w (750mA), and I want to connect them to a small 12v battery and use a switch to turn one on or both on. I don't want to complicate this with much circuitry or relays as it's just a simple battery box for camping.
I was thinking a SPDT switch with a diode running between the LED's should work. When the diode biases both LED's would power up, when the switch is in he other position, the diode reverse biases so only one LED would turn on.
Let me know if I'm missing something here, and if you have any recommendations.
Thanks!
