70 amp charger cooking 12v LEDs?
Will using one of the upgraded 70amp Progressive Dynamics charger/converters fry my new 12v LEDs (unregulated version)? I've seen talk of leaving the old converter in place, deck mounting the new o...

My circuit is pretty simple.
1. Replace SPST On-Off switch in double light (call Side A and Side B) with SPDT On-Off-On switch. Side A is connected to '1' Side B is connected to '2'
2. Connect Side A and Side B through a diode to make it one way circuit that only passes current from B to A.
3. Connect 12v line in to switch pole, bond all negatives together.
Now switch in middle if off.
Switch in position 1 is Side A only (diode prevents power going backwards into Side B)
Switch in position 2 is Side A & B (diode passes power from Side B to also power Side A)
Simple ;)
Was thinking that you were dealing with the age old problem of needing to be able to turn on/off a light from two different locations..
Yeah, using a diode to "direct" the lights could work but, I think I would simply use TWO separate miniature switches in place of the one single switch in that fixture..
Plenty of miniature toggles out there..
