So if I understand what you're saying, you are, or can, run mutiple voltages using a common ground and it is kept separated?

Yes. The common has nothing to do with the power supply. My interface supplies the ground. The PS is not connected in any other way to the interface. We should probably move this thread to the interface forum.
Boeing.
Yes he is powering all his 12V lights and led's from a computer power supply, therefore it has the common Ground built inside the power supply.
Just so your straight.
Radar, Ignore the complex terms used in this thread, for you lets take this one step at a time. Lets get your gear lever built and we will look at your switches when your ready. I will take you through step by step.
Please do not get discouraged with all the technical jargon. You will be an expert soon enough.

No Trevor.... You are wrong.... I am using a number of PSs not just one.
Bob, could you please send me a simple schematic or diagram of how you wired one of your output cards with the 12VDC bulbs including the hook-up for the power supply?
Try as I might, I cannot get a picture of this in my head and keep the card voltage separate from the power supply voltage.
Scratch that. I just realized what you are doing. I think this is gonna work, but I'll wait until Darin chimes in before sending a wad of cash down the drain.
My output cards do not supply voltage. Ground from the light to the input on the card. 12Volt PS + to the + side of the bulb. That simple....
YES! I understand now.
