Hello, I'm new to this forum and learning about microelectronics (hope this is the right term). I had a 7 color (Red,Green,Blue,Purple,Warm white,Cool white,Cyan) outdoor solar LED floodlight fail recently. I was able to determine that the battery would no longer take or hold a charge (not sure if it was the solar part or the battery itself - guessing battery). A new battery for the unit is about the same cost for a new complete unit, so I took apart the unit and keep the LED spotlight. Just for fun, I was experimenting to see if I could get the light to work by using a 9V battery. Through trial and error, I was able to determine which the 4 wire leads was the positive, and could light one color or multiple by various wiring combinations. Now I'm interested in finding a mini switch that would allow me to do the same experiment results via a switch. In other words, I'd like to have it display one of the seven colors by selecting a color via a mini switch. Again, I'm only using the LED light and a 9V battery. So the switch would naturally go in-between the two, and allow me to choose from 7 colors, and of course OFF. Any suggestions? Just having fun during my retirement. Thank you!
