IF circuits are wired as follows

the LED does not light.

But if wired like this

http://www.xtremelandy.co.uk/Manuals...m%20(JPEG).jpg

the circuit works with power to unit and lit LED

There is a missing wire in this schematic. The switch needs two wires.
To light an LED internal to the switch requires both power and ground in
addition to the switched output. In other words, the switch will be
wired the same. The only difference is the switch controls the relay
and the relay controls the lights.

If the LED does not light without the relay, either it is not wired
correctly or turning on the lights draws too much power and there is a
large voltage drop across the switch.

This is not rocket science. It either works or something isn't right.
If you wire the switch up without the relay and then disconnect the
lights, will the LED come on then?


I do not know why a second unit cannot go between LED and grnd with a
dummy load unit to grnd in power to unit as the center take off prong
€¦thus skipping the relay. For an alternative example €¦. As the
posted question asks

I don't know what you mean by "the posted question". The original post
was not intelligible.

I also don't completely understand this question. Where exactly in the
drawing do you mean "between LED and grnd"? Do you mean in the
connection between the switch and ground, in series? I believe that leg
is providing ground for the LED. It would not be suitable for
connecting a load as the LED drops some voltage. If you mean connecting
a load between the switched terminal and ground, then yes, that would be
fine as long as the load doesn't draw more current than the switch is
rated for.


near 9/10 circuits I wired are direct connection to Batt with wire
gauges supplied by Powerstreams calculator. But there are places
without space or necessity that could be wired without a relay n
without loss of voltage.

there are extra LED on the shelf but that's more complication.
