Wire 4 cathodes to 1 rocker switch?
I wanna use 3 or 4 cathodes. Unfortunately, all the lights I have seen can only have 2 cathodes plugged into the inverter. Is there a way I can wire the 2 inverter cables to the one rocker switch? Otherwise, I guess I could always add another switch, but I need to take the faceplate off and drill more holes for the switch.

yes, the switch I have has 4 connections on it, its a simple on off switch. I am going to wire another set of white cathodes to the same switch maybe tomorrow or friday if the PC shop still has em for 5$ a set
since its a simple on/off switch the guy at the elec shop said it didnt matter which way the wires were soldered.

could try just soldering 2 cathode wires per inverter output.
Not sure if this would work or not. Worth a try i guess

there's no reason why you can't splice a second inverter in to the lead from a single switch

It's easy, just snip the two wires from one switch and strip/solder them to any point along the other inverters switch connections

Damn, I wanted to avoid soldering lol. I was just hoping for a splitter cable, guess I will have to just use a 2nd switch, it aint bad though. Then I can always have 2 different color lights and just use whichever I feel like.

If you really hate soldering that much, send me the bits and I'll do it...I enjoy soldering
