Hello all!

Ran into a bit of a problem while building my case. So I thought I'd ask if one of you guys smarter and better at electronics than me knew the answer :)

My problem is this: I want to control 4 CCFL's (2x30cm or 12" and 2x10cm or 4") with one simple on/off (2 pole) toggle switch. I came up with the following way of connecting the lights. Will it work or will I burn something? :?

In this version I've placed the switch where the original rocker switches should be. I know that I can make this work by moving the toggleswitch to an earlier position (before the rockerswitch position and reconnecting the yellowline)... but that would mean more work for me and I'm feeling a bit lazy at the moment :p

So can anybody answer that or do I just give it a try... :D (and after the smoke clears change the connection)

easier: basicly, all u need is to unsolder the switch on one of the ccfl's inverter's inputs and solder it to the remaining switch, together with its own connections..

the drawing is a bit psyhedelic for me at this hour.. but i think it's good.. but i'm sleepy..
