hi everyone i'm new to this forum and found it as i'm just designing a lamp for my final year on a furniture and product design course.
i have several questions concerning the electronics involved in this project but first i explain what i'm trying to create:
it's a lamp with a main base which has 6-10 other smaller light objects attached through jack-plugs (headphone plugs) that the user is supposed to take away when he/she need light for reading or as atmospheric light.
all the small objects are charging on the main light base.
each of the small objects have a metal plug-socked which i want to use as a touch switch.....
what do i have to do to create a touch switch that is connected to the plug socket at a low voltage of 3.6v
another problem i have is the charging as i have always different amounts of charging objects on the main base.....is that a problem or is there a charger that can charge various different amounts of batteries?
is it possible to have the light being very low when charging and brightening up when taken away from the main charging base?
i appreciate any comment or advise on this as i am very new to the field of electronics and do not have the knowledge yet that it takes for realisation.
thanx
