hi, i want to have a rocker switch with 3 positions to toggle white led, uv or off.

i know both led strips use the 12v, just dont know how to wire it and what type of switch i need.
i had a go in paint and got stuck, dont see this working without having 6 pins, 2 for each led strip and 2 for the source. what should i be doing?

Am unable to draw right now but think of the switch as breaking and making the yellow wire, only that you alternately switch either 1 or 2. Some of these switches also have an off position.

Take a yellow to the centre pin, likely the common, then take two more yellows from the extreme pins on the switch and take one to one strip and another to the other strip. The black wires can go straight to the led strips.

You only need to switch one wire for each strip so no need to worry about the grounds going to the switch at all, unless you want a illuminated switch where things get a little more complicated.

You need to connect the Power in to the central pin on the switch and the two positives for each light source to the other terminals. connect all the ground wires together.

I'm pretty sure that will give you what you want
