    I want to put some lighting in my bed and in my tent and looking for help on the wiring and how to get everyone connected.

    I want to use lights like this that have cool white, warm white, and red lights and be able to switch between the lights and have them on a dimmer. Ideally, I'd like to have all three colors on one switch and one dimmer with a button to switch between them but I have no idea how I'd go about wiring that. I've found stuff online to wire up LEDs and put them on a dimmer, but haven't been able to find anything about switching between the colors.

    I know there are kits out there like the Hard Korr or Matt Gecko lights but I'd like to do it DIY and cheaper. Plus Hard Korr has orange not red and the matt gecko lights only offer two colors, and I want to be able to diffuse the lights. I know I could also make this way easier by just getting an RGB light strip and use the included controllers but I'd prefer to have a simple and clean switch panel.
