Ok after more brainstorming I think I may have found the ideal switch/UI setup that should satisfy most people. In the 3 clicky switch diagram back on post #61 the DPST switch needs to be removed. Other than that the circuit design is sound from a electrical standpoint. It allows for each individual dropin to be controlled like a regular P60 light. You can have one, two, or all three dropins on at once and have the ability to change modes independently while others are still on.
I assume most people would like a dedicated "Turbo" button (separate switch) to light all three dropins at once. For the dedicated Turbo mode as far as I can tell there is absolutely no way to be able to mix different mode configurations. They all have to be of the same type in order for the modes to be in sync, there is no getting out of it. Also it would be a major pain to activate all three dropins at once by trying to use three fingers at the same time to turn them all on
, not very practical either... So how do we activate all three clicky switches at once? Link them together physically. My art work absolutely sucks but it should be pretty clear from the drawing below how the three clicky switches are linked together for Turbo mode. FYI the dark shaded portions of the drawing indicate the apparatus for the Turbo mode.
Each clicky switch will have half of the contact point with the silicone boot, and the other half with the apparatus for the Turbo switch.
What do you guys think? If it sounds like a good design would someone be willing to render a better drawing? Mine sucks lol.
