Hello,
sorry if this has already been addressed but I haven't been able to find anything on this particular problem.
I am designing a lighting circuit that runs on a 24V dimable supply, I am using a standard LM350 circuit and it works well. At this point I want to add a feature that turns the LEDs all the way on when a button is pressed, so for instance if the dimming supply is set at 12V and the button is pressed the lighting supply should switch from the 12V from the dimming circuit to the straight 24V. This circuit draws about 3A (I think, it might be less than that but for the purpose of not frying components I prefer to overestimate current and voltage limits) when all of the LEDs are on.
My original thought was to use a relay to switch between the two lines but most relays that I have looked at are too large for the space that is available for the circuit. So my question would be if anyone has an idea about how to do this with something that has a small profile?
Thanks in advance
