Well here's the problem :
Im trying to make a LED light for my aquarium but my electrical knowledge is poor. I would like to be able to turn them of by using a switch.
The drivers I'm going to use have an output open connection and short circuit protection.
(http://www.ebay.com/itm/110800722230?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649)
I was wondering if i were to connect a switch to them, do I have to connect a switch to the 240 input wires or can i also use u cheaper switch and connect it in series witch my leds in the dc part of the circuit?
I assume the best solution for the live of the driver is to connect one to the ac leads?
But if you connect a switch to ac current, do you only have to disconnect one lead or both leads? ( do I have to use a dpst or a spst switch?)
I know these are very basic questions
but since its 240 v I would like to be sure if i'm doing it right
