Im making a 445nm 1 watt labby with a 12v computer psu. I'm Planning on using an LM338t driver. Im wanting a red led (5mm Red LED - RadioShack.com) lighting up when there is power, then turning a key switch (Digi-Key Part Search) will light up a yellow led (5mm Yellow LED - RadioShack.com) then i will flip a switch (12VDC Toggle Switch with Safety Cover - RadioShack.com) which will activate a green led. Then i will be able to press a button (SPST 3-Amp "Soft-Feel" Push On-Push Off Switch - RadioShack.com) and lasing will begin. Im not very good with this, but will the combination of led's and switches cause the voltage to drop too much to lase or will there be too much voltage going to any of the switches or led's? And if i cant just hook them all up in series, how could i get it to work? May be a noob question, and i may be completely mistaken on something, so any help would be appreciated!!!
