In this post I have elaborately explained how to build simple transformerless LED bulb circuits using many LEDs in series and powering them through current controlled capacitive power supply circuit. Warning: Circuits I have explained below are not isolated from mains AC, and therefore are extremely dangerous to touch in the powered and open condition. […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
AC Light Dimmer Circuit
In this post I have explained through two examples how to build a simple110 V or 220 V AC light dimmer circuit for controlling light intensity with pot, using the principle of triac phase chopping. A 220V dimmer switch circuit is basically a triac/diac based AC mains voltage regulator circuit which can be used for […]
How to Make a Cheap LED Name Plate with Illuminated Back Light
In this post I have explained a simple method for making an inexpensive LED name plate with illuminated back light, which can be made by incorporating only 4 LEDs and yet acquire a dazzling back light illumination for the name plate. Introduction LEDs are no doubt gaining popularity by leaps and bounds and probably most […]
Converting a Dead CFL into an LED Tubelight
You might have already read about this interesting idea in many different sites. It’s about converting a dead CFL into a sleek LED tube light circuit. In this post I have explained the procedures with more details. How many times did you throw away a dead or over used faulty CFL unit into the dust bin? Well, we do […]
Using Aluminum Strip Heatsink for Hi-watt LEDs instead of PCB
Whenever we come across using 1 watt LEDs or other higher watt LEDs, we are always advised to use high grade aluminum based heatsinks for safeguarding the LEDs from heat, and for acquiring optimal performance from them. Double Side PCB can be Costly However as we all know such PCBs are highly costly and could […]
2 Best Current Limiter Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained 2 simple universal current controller circuits which can be used for safely operating any desired high watt LED. The universal high watt LED current limiter circuit explained here can be integrated with any crude DC supply source for getting an outstanding over current protection for the connected high watt […]
