Hi Just a question hoping to get answer lol.

I build a system based arround a ic555 timer to control pond water level.

i have a red and a green led connected to system.

when water level is ok green led comes on, but I notice that the red one also lights up a little due to leaking current.

Is there a way to iliminate this?

thx

ron

Ok. But where do you have the LED's connected? They don't appear on the circuit.
