I want to power 2 drivers either at the same time as well as have the ability to run them independently. I thought of hooking both to the positive with separate grounds (running a tail switch).

I'm looking at one of those 1no1nc LED switches even found a 2no2nc LED ring push button I know there is a way.

If I was using a 9mm diode with a continues ground driver could I bridge the cathode to the host and the drivers - output?.:undecided: This would keep the switches - isolated to the switch then no, no that would work.:tsk:

I need some help I want to run the diode and a tec then I want to run just the tec alone.:beer:

Stayed tuned I guess... Trying a SPDT switch not quite what I wanted, but it's rated 14V and 5A.

Many of those diodes have their power pins not connected to their case. Just isolate the driver from the case as well and use two separate switches.

I only want one switch.... aesthetics man. Thanks for the input however.
