How to wire fans and lights......

NcBaller1985 · Jun 20, 2003

I was wondering how I could set wiring switchs for the LED's on my fan and my 12' LED. I will eventually have 4 12" LED Lights. I want to be able to turn all 4 of my LED's lights off and on with one switch and all of my 5 Fan LED's with another switch. What do I need to get and how do I wire them???????????

well leds are usually 2.5 volts, so i would grab the apprioate resistor and run it off the 5v line with a switch

Where can I find some good prices on resistors????

Dude there like $1 a piece for overpriced ones... Just go to an electronis store and buy them.

What the heck do you mean by a 12" LED? Do you mean cold cathode?

NcBaller1985 · Jun 21, 2003

yeah cold cathode

Thank Toysrme

On your cold cathodes is the molex plug a passthru plug? (Does it have two ends?) If it does, you can connect all of the cold cathodes together and then splice a switch in the power supply cable like this.
____ is the yellow wire
..... is nothing
_______..........._______Molex connector

Edit: As for your fans, do they have a separate connector for the LEDs or is there only one connector?

I think this might be a good option....maybe.
