This is my second post and I want to say this is an awesome forum!
I was hoping someone who understands far more than me about wiring could help with the flashlight I am designing! I am trying to wire together 4 leds (3.2v 50ma) to a 9v battery with a switch. The trick is I want to have either two or 4 bulbs on with only a single switch. The switch can deliver power to both legs or to each leg individual (four way switch) how do I make all the volts and ma's come out to get the most power to the leds at all time? I attached a wiring diagram that will works when all 4 LEDs are on but am not sure if it will work when only two LEDs are on, I am worried about delivering too much power when only two are on.
Can someone help tell me how to wire this and what resistors and what not I need.
Part Numbers that I am planning on using:
LED: digikey C503C-WAN-CBADA151-ND
Switch: digikey 513PB-ND (a,b legs independent) or digikey 524PB-ND (a+b)
