hello,

i have part 4 different lights in 1 , can choose of 4 lights want lit @ time.

can seen pictured here: http://ab.rockwellautomation.com/push-buttons/specialty/800t-small-pilot-lights

 all of lights connected in parallel can choose illuminates supplying power lights want illuminate.

my issue each of bulbs midget flange base bulbs (lamp #328) , require 6v , draw 175ma of current. looks have use transistor circuit 5v pin control them i/o pin cant supply enough current. messing around resistor values in series these lights try , cut down current draw causes of drop light illuminate.

my issue is, not sure how able of lights illuminate @ once. in perfect world, there way them light current i/o pins can see thats not possible. if of them lit 5v pin pulling close 800ma on usb power.

any suggestions?

buy wallwart drive them uln2803.
