I am a big idiot with electricity, so your help is greatly appreciated.
I was trying to read the recommended readings, and I am confused, since there is a very fundamental lack of understanding.
I am trying to create a lighting system for my bike. What I need to do is pull power from a battery which can output as much as 19V DC and route it to headlights and taillights of different voltages, as low as 6w/3v.
What I've found in searches is that I need a voltage regulator?, but do I need one for every different voltage I have? It seems to me there has to be another way to manage the voltage... What am I missing?
Thanks very much in advance for taking the time to help me. Even just pointing me to some previous threads would be a great help.
