Electrical Help

[herbwf]

Good evening all,
I need some help. I would like to wire 3 grain of wheat bulbs up with an on/off switch and use batteries for power. The bulbs I have are 1.5 volt, 4omA, I also have a SPST switch. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Herb

Herb,

How specific do you need the information to be. I can draw you a schematic if you like, but if you need more than that let me know. Basically one of each lamp lead will connect to the positive side of the battery, and the others will connect to one side of the switch. The other end of the battery will connect to the other side of the switch.

Herb,

I'm "404" (clueless) on all this electrical stuff. But, a year or so ago when I needed similar help on a project, I just walked onto my local Radio Shack and asked. They guy knew what I needed, and the parts were right there.

The schematic would be most usefull. Will D batteries work or can you suggest something better? Sorry to be a nudge but I dont know diddley about this stuff. Thanks for the help.

A D cell will work just fine. Here's a schematic. I hope it helps. Let me know if you need more information.
