and looked at this

Right i have bought the following latching relays

[img]https://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y144/monkeyMera/diagramlatchingrelay.jpg[/img]

Right, ive got some push button switches that are really nice but they are push to make and when you let go they break the circuit, not good if you want to switch something on and leave it on ie, Neons ( yes i know they are  :ghey:  and chavy) AMPs etc

i was told i need some latching/sticky relays so i bout the about as i was told that is what i need but i dont know how to wire them up

the switches have 2 terminals and i want to beable to press the switch and turn somethnig on and then press again and turn it off. can some one help me out please

i can solder very well and i know where to buy parts i just dont have the technical knowledge to design it

as far as i know that relay is all i need to do what i want, i dont need it to calculater the pressure i pused the button and decide what to switch on it just needs to switch on and off from a non latching push button switch.

i want to go down this route cos i got some sexy switchses for a next to nothing price a while ago and i want to use them, i couldnt find a latching type that looks the same. (there probably is out there and cost the earth cos i want them) i dont need to get all technical with PICs transistors etc.

Yes you could.

You could alternate loads if you wanted.
