REFLECTOR: Lighting circuit question

[Alex Balic]

You would need a separate diode for each light so that they could to power
each other- I had the same situation on my homemade warning panel, I added a
test button which fires them all up, but had to put a diode on each one to
allow them to turn on individually- maybe there is a simpler way, but that
worked for me.

I'm starting the initial planning of my interior lighting. One of the things
that a friend suggested is an "all on" switch for the lights.  He says it's
nice a night when you arrive at the plane and you want all the lights on for
loading, etc.

 

But if run a second (switched) power line to all the lights then even when
the "all on" switch is off, turning on one light will power all the others.
So I guess I'll need a diode on the "all on" line to each light to keep the
power from going back and powering all the other lights, right?

 

BTW, I'm running a 28v electrical system with LED lighting.
