sup /diy/ need some help finishing up this very incomplete diagram of some lights I need for night fishing, trick part is that one switch needs to turn on both lights, while the other on switch needs to turn only the back light on for anchor.

how helpful for the OP
>>1002667
try this.
>>1002675
Yes, it would be. Diodes and rectifiers only allow current to pass one way. That resolves the "trick part" quite nicely.

on/off/on DPDT

won't work
>>1002667
Why not just hook the lights up to separate switches?
>>1002698
Not him but why not? Looks good to me.
Op here, just had to wire them separately to two different switches, here's the end result, going to have a good night of bass and bow fishing here in texas

When the switch is flicked left or right, one of the light's ground connections will be lifted, so both lights cannot be on at once.

when people use the correct symbols, things are so much simpler to understand. it only takes half-a-second to see why it wouldnt work.

That's not the functionality that he was asking for
