Click to expand... I'm confused about your wording: Does "power on" mean "the battery is connected"? Does "switch on/off" refer to the position of the toggle switch? If yes to both, then what powers the bulb during the middle case: "power off (9volt), switch on light bulb on"? Last edited: Apr 3, 2011

C carbonzit Active Member Apr 3, 2011 #3 Right, the problem here at this point is one of description: what are you trying to do? Perhaps making a little "truth table" might help, like this: Switch - Battery - Light ------------------------- ON ------- ON ----- ON OFF ------ ON ----- OFF (just for example) I too can't understand how the light can be on when the battery is "off". I'm sure you can explain this better.

C carbonzit Active Member Apr 3, 2011 #5 So what are you trying to do, anyhow? What's the purpose of this project? If you think it's too small for us to bother with, I happen to think small projects can be fascinating in their own way, sometimes more than not-so-small ones.
