Understanding Rocker Switches and LED Wiring

The video tutorial by I'm Stricken 06 explains how to wire a standard rocker switch with an LED. It covers the necessary components, including the three prongs on the switch, and provides a step-by-step guide to wiring the switch to a battery and an accessory. The tutorial also discusses the differences between three-prong and two-prong switches, highlighting the advantages of using higher amperage switches for car applications. The video concludes with recommendations for choosing the right switch based on the intended use and amperage requirements.

What is the main feature of the rocker switch discussed in the video?

• It has a built-in LED.

• It has four prongs.

• It is waterproof.

• It is wireless.

Which prong on the rocker switch is connected to the negative terminal?

• The center prong.

• The brass-colored prong.

• The yellow prong.

• The silver prong.

What is the purpose of the yellow prong on the rocker switch?

• To connect to the ground.

• To connect to the battery positive.

• To connect to the battery negative.

• To connect to the accessory or light.

What is the first step in wiring the rocker switch with an LED?

• Grounding the negative of the light.

• Connecting the yellow wire to the accessory.

• Connecting the red wire to the battery positive.

• Connecting the black wire to the battery negative.

What happens when the rocker switch is flipped forward?

• The LED on the switch turns off.

• The accessory light turns off.

• Both the LED on the switch and the accessory light turn on.

• Nothing happens.

What is a major drawback of the two-prong switch?

• It supports up to 10 amps.

• It has an LED on the button.

• It requires splitting a wire.

• It is more expensive.

For what type of circuits does the narrator suggest using a two-prong switch?

• Very small circuits like a single LED.

• Waterproof circuits.

• High amperage circuits.

• Wireless circuits.

What is the narrator's general advice for choosing switches for car applications?

• Use higher amperage switches for better protection.

• Always use the lowest amperage switch available.

• Use two-prong switches for all applications.

• Avoid using any switches.

Why does the narrator prefer higher amperage switches?

• They are smaller in size.

• They are reusable and provide better protection.

• They have built-in LEDs.

• They are cheaper.

What should you do if you want to reuse a switch for a different application?

• Use a lower amperage switch.

• Avoid reusing switches.

• Use a higher amperage switch.

• Use a two-prong switch.
