> I like that idea. Might have to run a single throw, dual pole SW or Relay to open the controller if that diode doesn’t solve the issue bypassing it might create depending on the controller. Bench test it, you’re SMRT, you’ll figure it out.

I really just wanted to use incandescents, then I could just use a resistor, but I am using a festoon style bulb so I can’t get an incan that is bright enough.

I can’t imagine why the diode wouldn’t work, though.

This is what I bought:
