This is a bit of an odd one but I have a piece of art that I need some advice in wiring... Here is the problem:
I have an electronics project that I am finishing. There are 3 items involved that need a SEPARATE power source. Basically it is a wall hanging piece with a Neon Light and Cold Cathode Lights controlled by an arduino and bespoke board. I have been told that both boards should be powered separately.
1) Arduino Board (with CC3000 WIFI) powered by DC 12V 1 Amp
2) Custom Board powered by DC 12V 1 Amp
3) Neon Light powered by AC 240V 13A
I want the user only to have to put one plug in the wall. The way I would do it would be to put all 3 plugs on an 3 way gang. I want to hide all this in a box behind the neon on the wall - but I am worried that there may be safety issues here ?
I'm not an electrical expert... so any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated as i would think there must be a slicker way.
Thanks
