Hello,

I am about to build my first LED hilt and I want to ask you about wiring. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with el. circuits.
I want to build LED Seoul P4 (green) with momentary SPST short Anti vandal illuminated switch (green ring) powered by 4 AAA batteries (6V). LED resistor charts tool, showed me to get 3,3 Ohm 5 watt resistor for LED and 150 Ohm 1/4 watt resistor for the switch.
My intention is that the switch will emit light all the time, not just when I turn on a LED.

So I want to ask you, if the resistor rates and the wiring schematic bellow, is correct ? Thank you very much for assistance.
Just want to make sure, I will be able to plug it, before order.

Swap the momentary switch for a latching switch. http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/16mm-Anti-Vandal-Latching-Green-Ring-Switch-P702.aspx will work. Otherwise you'll have to hold down the button to keep the saber on.

If you want the switch LED illuminated all the time, you'll want to move the (+) LED wire. Connect it between the switch and the battery (+) terminal. The way you currently have it wired, it will only come on with the main blade.

You'll have to pull the batteries to turn the switch LED off, or have some other way to cut power.
